1.) I'm 16 and 3 months. Am I allowed to take the Level. 1 course right now or do I have to be 17?

2.) What does the Level. 1 course consist of? How is it assessed?

3.) Once I acquire my Level. 1 coaching badge what would you advise me to do? Work on my Level. 2? Get a job coaching younger children?

4.) Am I allowed to coach once I have acquired my Level. 1 coaching badge? If so, who and at what level?

5.) Is the Level. 1 course £125? Level. 2 course £495? Level. 3 course £1000?

Any other additional information that will help me is very appreciated...

Thanks in advance.

You can do the badge at 16. Its basically induction, first aid, child protection, practical (drills and skills), assessment.
Getting a job coaching is not easy especially if you want to make a livng from it. Buy all means go for level 2.
You can coach with your level 1. However it is a basic badge that probably 99% of people who take it pass it and is probably best suited to those coaching upto under 10s level.
The following costs will vary but not to a massive degree
Level 1 = £110 Level 2 =£250 Level 3 = £325

I suggest you check out some of my other posts as there is some relevant info that will answer more of your questions.

Thanks Strass. I've read through your posts and they've taught me a lot. I've got GCSE mocks and everything else coming up so I've decided to take my Level. 1 course in the Easter. Can't wait and I hope I learn a lot from it.
