As a professional body aiming to hold the highest standards we made a decision to only provide certificates for accreditation and not ones for membership. Instead, we have invested in the Credly badge scheme, which will show your level of membership, criteria and provide confirmation of current membership and is a much more robust system – it is a a digital badge that you can use on all your platforms - social media sites, websites, email signatures, blogs and even digital CVs.

Your Coach Training can be from any reputable trainer or organisation; there is no requirement for your coach training to be done by another UCA member, or the trainer or course to be accredited. Your qualification can either be self-sourced or as part of training done at your organisation.
You will need to provide a copy of your coach training certificate as proof of your qualification, uploaded as part of your online application.
If you do not have a certificate we will accept written confirmation from your tutor, college or organisation on headed paper/email. If you are newly qualified and still waiting for your certificate, we would still require the confirmation and please email us a copy of the certificate for our records once you have received it.
All references received are strictly confidential. We will happily share them with you but would first need written permission from the referee. If you would like us to contact them on your behalf we will do so, or you may find it easier to simply contact them direct with a request to view.
