Coaches
Coaches are vital to our sport. Without the commitment of those who choose to guide and train athletes of all ages, abilities and disciplines, athletics simply would not exist.
The backbone of the coach’s journey is formed by the UKA qualifications that we offer around the country. Courses are available for everyone from complete beginners (such as the Jog Leader or Leading Athletics courses) to the most experienced.
New Coach Qualification Pathway
For those who are already qualified, we offer a wide range of CPD opportunities to help you improve your skills and experience.
You can explore all our coaching qualifications and CPD resources using the menus on the left of this page.

NEW SCOTTISH RECORD! ANDY BUTCHART has set a new national mark in the 5000m at the Anniversary Games in London – his 13:06.21 finish in 5th place felled his own previous record, set at the Olympic Games in Rio.
He said: “Today was massive and it was great to run here. I am exactly where I want to be. It is incredible to run that time and it is big confidence boost and I think I can go faster and break 13 minutes.”
