    Which one - there's 2 course types - the old UKA one that is being phased out and the new UKCC type.

    I don't think it matters a great deal in terms of the course, but it may in terms of the progression afterwards.

    It looks like you are on UKA as you are doing Core with Endurance module to follow.

    http://www.uka.org.uk/media/news/jun...08-06-09-ukcc/

    Have a read of this to give you a little background.

    It looks like the future of coaching will be under UKCC although there are still UKA courses around but I think they finish in the Spring of 2010 - so make sure that you finish your course.

    In danger of alienating some of those involved, who come on this forum, I do not see any real difference except there seems less flexibility in the UKCC model.

    Under UKCC you would do the core / technical (which in your case is endurance) but not seperately - the 2 elements would be intertwined during the 2 weekends.

    So basically all that UKCC have done is take the old course and done a little Feng Shui on it and declared themselves the saviours of coach education

    That is the main trouble with most sports now - they are becoming like political organisations. Change for changes sake, all change is progressive and no mistakes are ever owned up to - perhaps they never make any?
