Community Activator Coach
Community Activator Coaches lead fun, inclusive activities that help people become and stay physically active. They work with communities to understand their needs and support behaviour change.
They’re more than sports leaders, they understand the people they work with.
Community Activator Coaches are positive role models. They build trust with young people, inactive individuals and low-income or marginalised communities. They often specialise in working with a specific group.
You’ll find Community Activator Coaches working in:
-
charities that use sport for social change
-
small businesses in the sport and activity sector
-
local authorities and youth agencies
-
leisure centres and sports clubs
-
housing associations and outdoor education centres
They also often work with youth workers, the police and health teams to make communities healthier.

End-point assessment
The end-point assessment (EPA) for Community Activator Coach contains three methods of assessment:
Practical Coaching Observation
The Practical Coaching Observation allows the Independent End-Point Assessor (IEPA) to see the apprentice during their normal everyday work. This assessment method is undertaken in the apprentice’s workplace, under normal working conditions and should last for 2 hours. The Practical Coaching Observation will be split into three sections; planning, delivery and self-reflection.
Grading: Fail, pass or distinction.
Presentation and Questions and Answers (Q&A)
The apprentice will give a 10 minute Presentation to a panel on a major piece of work they will have selected to showcase. This work must not have been included in their reflective accounts submitted at Gateway. The panel will then have 20 minutes to question the apprentice on the details of their Presentation.
Grading: Fail, pass or distinction.
Panel Interview
The Panel Interview is a check and challenge process on the apprentice’s broader experiences including communication, progression plans, their professional network, conflict resolution and soft skills development. The assessment duration is between 25 and 30 minutes.
Grading: Fail, pass or distinction.
