Several candidates commented on the number of worksheet questions in the log book and how some were badly worded. |
Our response - "These questions are provided by the ASA Awarding Body. We acknowledge that there is considerable repetition, however these are the materials that enable learners to clearly meet the requirements of the core units. Work has begun to streamline some of the units and worksheets" Several candidates comments on the amount of theory and homework required to complete the course |
Our response – "This is an intensive course and demands are great on candidates in order to produce the evidence to meet the required standard to pass the qualification. We are currently investigating some alternative evidence based methods of assessment." |

ASA/UKCC Level 2 Certificate for Teaching Aquatics (QCF) – February 2011
"I had to organise an exemption, both Ray and Sally were brilliant with flexibility. The Level
2 text book is out of date
We followed this up with the ASA Awarding Body who has acknowledged that books are not reflective of the current course.
With the new QCF qualifications we are moving away from text book support courses and we do and will be providing other more relevant resources to support your course. The books provided do though have some very good information on all of the strokes.
The tutor was awesome!"

The task based assessments really made me think and were more personalised to my style
Course booking was easy and efficient. The tutors skills and knowledge were exceptional. I feel a lot more confident with a wider range of abilities.

ASA/UKCC Level 1 Certificate for Teaching Aquatics – August 2010
"The course was well planned and structured.
Fantastic course, fantastic teacher!
I thought this was run really well and I look forward to my Level 2 with Ray!
The pool was a bit shallow for more advanced swimmers.
This was the first time we had used this venue. The class room facilities were excellent and in the same building as the swimming pool. We recognised that this pool was suitable for teaching swimming and for Level 1 courses only but more advanced swimmers and for Level 2 courses this facility would not be adequate."

Ray (course tutor) was inspirational"
