The British Judo Association Coach Award structure is designed to ensure that qualified Coaches deliver safe, quality Judo instruction. The Coach award system is widely regarded as being one of the best in the world. As a member of the BJA, Wivenhoe Judo Club are required to have at least one qualified BJA Coach, who you can be assured has had to meet the strict standards laid down. In the past potential Coaches were required to pass a First Aid Certificate, however since the First Aid practice evolves continually, Coaches must now obtain an external First Aid Certificate. The BJA has a strict child protection policy and ensures all Coaches complete personal disclosure documents prior to granting a Club Licence.
