POST COURSE
Candidates may be required to assist qualified ADAPT Level 2 Parkour/ Freerunning Coach at a maximum of ten live coaching sessions post-course;
All assigned sessions must be completed
Each session must be a minimum of one hour in length
All sessions must be supervised and signed by a qualified ADAPT Level 2 Parkour/Freerunning coach
All sessions cannot be supervised and signed off by the same Level 2 coach
It is recommended that this is completed within 3 months of the course; however you do have a maximum one-year registration period in which to complete this. These sessions will provide you with the opportunity to experience real life coaching and gain an understanding of what it is like to be a parkour coach, and are therefore fundamental to your learning.
It is your responsibility to arrange and complete these sessions within the one-year registration period. If you are unable to access an ADAPT Level 2 qualified coach, there is a video submission process that can be accessed under special conditions.
Once you have completed any required supervised coaching sessions, you will need to send a copy (either photocopy or photograph/scan) of the completed supervised coaching record to:
Email: [email protected]
Please keep the original supervised coaching record in your learner pack. You will not receive certification for the qualification until you have sent the signed record back.
