Coaches from Overseas
The UK is a great place to coach, so we do get requests on a regular basis to validate and recognise awards gained from overseas authorities. We operate a system of conversion and mapping of overseas awards to our UK standards. In order to do this, whoever is seeking to employ an overseas coach, for example a club, needs to advise the coach that they need to provide;

• 2 separate letters of support, indicating suitability to work with children and vulnerable adults
• Copies of certificates and awards (translated into English by an official translator where necessary)
• Curriculum Vitae, showing all relevant coaching experience
• List of skills coached as part of their coach qualification

The overseas coach also needs to be advised that before being awarded a qualification from us, they need to take out Gold membership (if Level 2 or above) and attend a BG recognised Safeguarding and Protecting Children course within 3 months of our award being accredited.
