The most cost effective way of gaining large coverage is to register your profile with train1on1. The constant stream of publicity that train1on1 gains will maintain a high number of train1on1 website users.
7. Where can I conduct the training?
You have two options; you choose to always go to the player (or a place of their choosing) or you identify a suitable safe location. It is vital that this place has a safe surface, away from any dangerous obstructions. You must also have sites available for the winter months when the light is limited and when the weather can cause a problem to the training.
8. Where can I get a first aid qualification?
A first aid qualification is virtually a standard component of most coaching qualifications – it is your responsibility to ensure that it is valid. Should your qualification have expired then you can undertake courses at a number of local adult education centres or with the ‘Red Cross’ or ‘St Johns Ambulance’. (these both run courses across the country that are seen as the standard)
