The BHPA coach revalidation system has been put in place to ensure that all licensed Club Coaches and Senior Coaches are fully current and active. This aims to minimise the chances of any accidents occurring during coaching activity, and should also help minimise the legal exposure of any coach if the worst came to the worst.
The BHPA coach revalidation system simply requires all Club Coaches and Senior Coaches to provide a declaration of support signed by the Club's Chief Coach at membership renewal time.
e.g. As the licence holder's Chief Coach, I can confirm that he/she continues to be a valuable active member of the club's coaching team.
In the unlikely event of the club having no nominated Chief Coach, the club Chairman should sign this declaration.
When renewing your BHPA membership online, if you have and wish to retain a club coaching licence, please attach a scanned copy of the required declaration of support to avoid unnecessary delays in processing your renewal application.
The FSC also recommends that coaches should re-attend the Coach Course at least every five years to ensure that nothing gets forgotten and that they are fully up-to-date with current thinking. The club coach course fee is currently £35 per participant, but this is reduced to £25 for a retake.
