Coach Assessment Check In
Coach Assessment Check In is a process for coaches who are planning to attend a Coach Award Assessment course.
It's free, quick and confirmation is sent straight to your inbox.
This should then be shared with the assessor to confirm eligibility for assessment.
The purpose of Check In is to confirm the coach holds all prerequisites, saving time on the day of the assessment as the assessor doesn't need to check certificates and paperwork.
Please do not try to check in unless you hold all prerequisites, including the Coach Award e-Learning module. Confirmation of check in will not be issued until the conditions are met.
Paddle Scotland members can view their qualifications and training online in the Members Portal, and upload any outstanding evidence (for example first aid training or safeguarding training).
How to Check In
To check in online, visit JustGo and click on the ‘Registrations, Check In & Forms’ icon in the Menu section. To check in, click on “Add Registration or Check In” and follow the on screen instructions.
Please note the Paddle Scotland online system checks qualifications and training records against the prerequisites. Due to the multitude of British Canoeing qualifications and training, not all combinations are configured and occasionally it is necessary for staff to manually check.
