UKCC - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q = If I have a current coaching award will this still be recognised now the UKCC has been introduced?
A = No, unfortunately the time has lapsed in December 2010 for you to convert from the Old coaching awards to UKCC however due to the late development of a level 2 conversion course you will be able to upgrade from old level 2 to new UKCC level 2 using the UKCC conversion course.
