The GB national Boxing Awards

Based in Southsea, Portsmouth and operating nationwide, Boxing Awards is the home of the GB Boxing Awards programme across the region.

This course is an England Boxing accredited non-contact boxing programme. It is delivered over one day and recommended for teachers, youth workers, personal trainers, students and people of all abilities wanting to get on the boxing coaching ladder. This Boxing Awards course teaches all basic skills required to start coaching boxing and has no specific prerequisites. Previous experience in boxing is beneficial but not essential. However, a few boxing sessions in your local club prior to attending the course could help you settle in easily.

To provide you the best quality training, participants will be assessed throughout the course. A pass/fail grading system will be given on completion of the course. If you do fail for some unfortunate reason, you will be invited back to redo the course within the year for free. Get in touch with our Southsea professionals for more information.

In schools

The boxing tutor course is ideal for students (14+) and teachers alike. Importantly, teachers who qualify are then authorised, registered and insured to deliver the Boxing Awards non-contact programme. The Boxing Awards can also be used to support ASDAN GCSEPE, BTEC, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and The Prince’s Trust Award.

School students who complete the course can be considered to assist the teacher in his/her delivery of the Boxing Awards Programme. This provides an innovative way of engaging students constructively in assisting both the teacher and their peer group. Any coaches with a Level 2 qualification in another sport who qualify after this course may freely deliver the Boxing Awards Programme in any setting.

Course fee

The cost of the course is £100, which covers the following course resources:

1 x Student booklet non-contact pack

1 x Boxing Tutor guide

1 x Coaching booklet non-contact (24 lesson plans)

1 x Boxing tutor DVD (fun and games and boxing drills)

You will be eligible to register with England Boxing and carry out all the duties of a boxing tutor.

You may also deliver the GB Boxing Awards programme in the club if a Level 2 coach is present.

You may also deliver the GB Boxing Awards programme in a school if a teacher is present.

Once qualified, all participants can deliver the GB Boxing Tutor non-contact programme as outlined. There will be a requirement for the student/boxer who is neither a teacher nor currently a Level 2 coach in any other sport to be supervised by a Level 2 boxing coach or, in schools, by a teacher or Level 2 coach if they wish to deliver the programme.

What to do if you fail the Boxing Tutor Course?

If you fail the course, you may not immediately act as a boxing tutor. However, you may be graded as a ‘Conditional Pass’, which requires the student to carry out agreed work programmes in order to achieve a pass-mark before certification can take place. Following this, you may assume the role of a boxing tutor. Subsequent assessments for ‘Provisional Passes’ are carried out by locally appointed assessors or during other boxing tutor courses.

"I can't speak highly enough about the Boxing Awards programme and especially about the coach Q. I started boxing just over a year ago becasue I was looking for a way to reduce my anxiety and stress levels and a way to get back in shape. I quickly fell in love with the sport thanks to the incredible passion, entusiasm and knowledge Q exudes and to the way the Boxing Awards works at building your skillset and fitness. Going through the process gave me a huge confidence boost not only in the sport itself, but in every day life and work. I went from exercising a few times a month (and hating it) and scared of confrontations to boxing three times a week (and loving it) and sparing. It is a brilliant, fun and effective way to get fit. In a span of a few months, I feel like I have grown stronger physically and mentally, learned new skills and had a lot of fun in the process. I highly reccomend boxing, the Boxing Awards and Q to everyone."

"This Course was truly amazing. It was interactive from start to finish & I personally gained so much knowledge and confidence from it. Q & Bobby are fantastic leaders - I now train privately with Bobby as he is an excellent coach & teacher. I would highly recommend to anyone - regardless of level or experience in boxing, this course caters to all."

"Just completed the course today and what an experience it was! Both Q and Bob were extremely fantastic, super professional, energetic, positive, funny and really knowledgeable. Both made the group feel really relaxed with their teaching approach which was fenomenal how they managed to build a great bond and confidence among all the participants throughout the whole course. Within the first two hours Q knew all the participants names...incredible. In addition, both Q and Bob were always making sure the group was happy with the info provided and the best of all, the course was super fun, which made it a lot easier to get things in your mind and then to put it into practice. I strongly recommend this course to anyone, however, i don't know if your experience will be the same without Q and Bob delivering it...because this two guys might be the best tutors anyone can come accross in their lives."
