What can you expect from Agility 1st?

We have developed the Agility1st Instructor and Coaching to be as flexible as possible to fit in with your learning needs and in a way that suits your lifestyle. The initial learning is based on reading through and testing your understanding of the Agility1st training modules which are all available on-line. Once you have successfully completed all the modules in the set you will be eligible for the practical assessment by one of our qualified Agility1st Assessors.

 
 

Accreditation

When you have reached the required level of knowledge and we are confident that you are able to train dogs and handlers to the necessary standard you will be accredited as an Agility1st Instructor or Agility1st Coach depending on which course you are enrolled on. 

Once you have achieved “Accredited Instructor” status and you have paid your annual memberships fees you will be able to access all membership benefits

 
 

Online Learning

Once you have signed up and paid for to one of our on-line courses the first module will be available for you to work through. You will need to set aside about 10 days to complete each module comfortably. The aim is for you to read and understand each module and then to do some background research yourself pulling together all the information you have on the subject and any other background information you may have about your experience as a dog trainer generally or as an agility instructor.

 
 

Assessment

At the end of each module you will be required to pass a test consisting of up to 15 questions, this is to check your understanding of the content of each module. This will be used to evaluate your level of understanding of the subject and experience at instructing to the required level to pass the practical assessment at the end of the course. When you are ready you can complete the module assessment questions and when you have achieved the standard required the next module will become available and so on until you have finished all the modules.
