Level 4 coaches will be visionary and knowledgeable decision makers who display exceptional skills, behaviours and the highest professional and ethical standards. They will advance their own and others’ development; lead cutting-edge programmes, or a specialist part of a programme; and make a positive impact on sport performance and behaviour. Those wishing to gain this status should have previously achieved the status of Level 3 Coach.

In order to become a Level 4 Coach, individuals must be able to demonstrate practical competency in the sport, as well and providing evidence as to how they have made a positive impact on sport performance and behaviour.
