The qualification will take approximately 42 guided learning hours. However, various factors such as the candidate/tutor ratio, the number of candidates, the experience levels of the candidates and the compulsory requirement for a valid and current First Aid certificate will influence the time allocated to the delivery of any given course.
In order for your candidates to complete their Level 2 Award in Community Sports Leadership they must complete 10 hours demonstration of leadership within the community. This element of the qualification is part of Unit 1, however the 10 hours demonstration of leadership must happen at the end of the course, after all of the taught aspects have been delivered.
