1st4sport Level 1 Award for Activators (Multi-Skills)
Give your volunteers, young leaders and community workforce the confidence to lead fun, inclusive activity sessions.
Get more people active in your community
The 1st4sport Level 1 Award for Activators (Multi-Skills) helps people develop the knowledge and confidence to lead enjoyable activities. It offers a practical starting point for people with little or no coaching experience.
We can arrange a dedicated course for your school, club, charity or community organisation. We will discuss your learners, venue and preferred dates, then agree a delivery plan that works for your group.
Run the course at a suitable venue on dates agreed with your organisation, with support from our Education team.
