Where individual membership has lapsed, BCU/SCA/WCA/CANI Coaching Service qualifications can be restored on the following basis:
1. If the membership is allowed to lapse for a period of less than 3 years the coach can reactivate qualifications by paying the current year’s membership plus a £15.00 administration fee and completingthe coach update requirements pertaining at the time.
If the lapsed period exceeds 3 years, the coach must pay the current years membership fee, a £15.00 administration fee, plus a £20.00 fee to cover revalidation. This will be in the form of an action plan plus a workshop or working alongside a course provider. (As deemed by their National Coaching Officer)*. Costs for workshops will be extra.
2. If the member is a coach and holds assessor status, re-instatement of the Assessor status held would not be automatic. Re-instatement of assessor status as appropriate (possibly at a lower level) would be re-activated on application via an agreed action plan and possible charge.
A decision on an application for assessor re-instatement and any associated action plan would depend on the number of years of lapsed membership.
*(In order to complete this process the party concerned is advised to contact their Coaching Office to initiate the process).
Coaching qualifications are only valid whilst the member holds a current first aid award. For levels 1 and 2 coaches, this needs to be four hours training including CPR/EAV. For level 3 coaches and above eight hours including CPR/EAV. This information is held on the database. Please forward a copy of your first aid certificate with your re-instatement application.
