Working together with Lancashire Sport as one of the County Sport Partnerships in the North West, the National Skills Acadamy wil limplement this regional-wide mentoring programme starting in May 2010. The programme will offer support to coaches signed up to the ‘Get Qualifed North West’ Scheme, which provides coaches with 60% financial support (up to a maximum levels) towards level 2 and level 3 qualifications.

The support offered to you as a coach through the programme includes:
