 What do we fund?

CSW Sport accepts applications for a Coaching Support grant towards a recognised National Governing Body of Sport coaching qualification (we do not accept applications for fitness or non-coaching qualifications). Applicants are required to identify the coaching course on their application form and book themselves on to the course.

Level 1 and Level 2 Qualifications:
•    A maximum subsidy of £100 for a National Governing Body of Sport mandatory pre-level 1 Coaching Qualification, when applying for a Level 1 bursary
•    A maximum subsidy of £100 for a Level 1 National Governing Body of Sport Coaching Qualification
•    A maximum subsidy of £200 for a Level 2 National Governing Body of Sport Coaching Qualification

Level 3 Coaching
Currently, the CSW Sport Coaching Support Fund is until 31st March 2013 and completing a Level 3 qualification in full (course and assessment) can take a long time. Therefore, CSW Sport will contribute towards a Level 3 module/course or assessment, as it is unlikely a coach will be able to complete both before 31st March 2013 Funding amounts are:
•    A maximum subsidy of £200 for a Level 3 Coaching module/course
•    A maximum subsidy of £100 for a Level 3 Coaching assessment

CSW Sport will also provide opportunities to attend FREE and subsidised Coach Development Workshops
