Suitable for anybody just starting out on their coaching journey, BWF Shuttle Time is suited for anybody involved in coaching and provides a backbone for all later coach education. If you are involved in coaching in any way - but especially within clubs and schools - this is the course for you.

Badminton Wales works closely with the Badminton World Federation to deliver our coach education levels. These are:

• BWF Level 1. This is a similar level to the UKCC Level 2 and appropriate for those with previous coaching experience. Individuals with existing alternative Badminton Qualifications (UKCC L1/2 or equivalent, within the last 5 years from the date of course commencement) may enter the Badminton Wales Coach Education Pathway at the BWF Level 1. Badminton Wales strongly recommends attending the BWF Shuttle Time course regardless.
• BWF Level 2. Advanced coached education for those individuals who seek Pathway development coaching for Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
• BWF Level 3. This is not currently available in Wales.
