A Step By Step Guide To Running Your Course

Apply to run the Foreign Language Leader Award
If you decide that you want to go ahead and deliver the Foreign Language Leader Award then simply fill in the Course Application Form and return it to Sports Leaders UK. Once you have received your learner Log Books you can start to deliver your course.

Read the Tutor Resource Pack (TRP)
Sounds obvious enough! But by reading the whole pack before you start to plan your course, you will be able to make important decisions regarding selecting your learners, the structure of your course and what your expectations will be. This will give you the confidence to run a really successful course.

Return the learner registration details
The tear out slip at the front of each Log Book should be completed and returned to Sports Leaders UK at the start of your course. It is only once we have received these slips that your learners will be formally registered onto your course.

Deliver the course
The most successful courses are those that use the TRP as a guide but adapt the activities and resources to suit their learner's needs.

Assess your learners
You will continually assess learners against the Learning Outcomes that are laid down in the TRP. All assessment is internal and carried out by the Tutor/Assessor, except for verification of Unit 6 which is carried out by the Independent Assessor.

Fill in the successful Learner Completion Form
This will be sent to you along with your Log Books at the start of the course. Fill the form in and send/fax it back to Sports Leaders UK.

Think about 'what next?' for your Foreign Language Leaders
Now that your Foreign Language Leaders have completed the course and got their certificate to prove it, what will they do next? How will they use their leadership skills to benefit the organisation? How can you keep them involved in leading others?

Deliver your next course
You have done the hard work by running the course for the first time, now you can go on to run your next ones with ever increasing confidence.
