Who needs to attend?

If you last attended a Coaching Convention in 2022 then your three-year cycle of CPD must be renewed by attending the convention in 2025.

If you have recently passed your Level 2 coaching qualification and have not yet attended a convention then you also must attend the 2025 Convention.

If you’re not due to attend the Convention this year but want to attend part of the event as an extra boost for your learning and development, a one-day booking option is also available - scroll down to find out more.

Format:

The Convention will follow a new format this year, with different days focusing on specific areas of coaching:

Day 1 - Monday 21st: Singles and Pairs

Day 2 - Tuesday 22nd: Mandatory and Generic Coaching Sessions

Day 3 - Wednesday 23rd: Ice Dance and Synchro

All coaches will need to attend a minimum of 15 sessions, including a number of mandatory sessions held on Day 2, requiring attendance over at least two days of the convention to achieve this. Coaches can choose whether they stay for the full three days or concentrate their learning over just two days. For example, a coach might attend seven sessions on Day 1 and eight sessions on Day 2 and then leave the Convention, or arrive on Day 2 and complete their 15 sessions over Day 2 and Day 3 instead – or choose to attend sessions across all three days.
