How to Apply

Initially please email mavis.robertson@hotmail.co.uk to express your intention to take part and state whether or not you have a FRST certificate

 Official Forms to Fill In

The Coach Registration form and the Scholarship Application form will need to be completed soon. They are available on the SCA website. Please do not complete them yet. We will arrange to do them together to make it easier and to ensure that we know exactly who is applying and how the money will work out.

Completing Foundation Rescue and Safety Training (FRST)

Most Level 1 Coach courses are offered on a residential basis over 5 days and the first day is for completing the FSRT certificate. Since we have Martin Rickard here who is qualified to assess it we can manage to run the course over 4 action-packed days!

 For those who have not already done the FRST day Martin Rickard will be providing a training day very soon
