The Archery GB Instructor Award prepares learners to deliver fun and safe archery sessions for beginners. Hosting a course gives your staff or volunteers the confidence to introduce more people to archery.
You can discuss the dates, venue and who attends with our team, so the course fits your organisation’s needs.
Develop your own instructors and support participation at your venue.

An indoor or outdoor beginner range with at least 10 metres shooting distance, at least 2 metres behind the shooting line and a safe backstop such as netting or a natural barrier.
