BCU Level 5

The BCU Level 5 coaching award is the highest level of coaching award currently available from the BCU. It is part of the 'old scheme', but there are no plans to change or stop the current BCU Level 5, allowing any coaches that meet the pre-requisites to progress their "how to coach" knowledge to the highest level. Qualified Level 5 coaches are also able to work in the most advanced conditions for their discipline.
