Do I need any experience or qualifications before doing the course?
It is preferable to be Level 2 gym qualified or have at least two years of experience teaching boxing/martial arts. BUT, you do not need to be qualified, as we cover everything you need to know to be able to coach on the course.
LIVE/FACE TO FACE COURSE: There is a pre-requisite online course exam to complete to show you have an understanding of basic human anatomy and physiology, all of this information is covered in the Boxology® book you receive prior to the course, so it’s necessary to read the book before you attend. You must receive a 70% pass before you attend the course. You will also need to fill out online forms for registration, PAR Q and informed consent forms.
ONLINE COURSE: You will be given access to the online Boxology® book when you book a course. There are short multiple choice questions after each technical video chapter to see if you understood the technique, and there is an 20 multiple choice test at the end of the course. You will also have to submit a few videos of you teaching skills for assessment before you receive your CPD points.

What do I need for the course?

It’s advisable to bring a notebook and pen for notes. All equipment will be provided for use on the course but if you would like to bring your own gloves and pads then that’s ok.

I was taught how to teach boxing as part of my fitness/gym course, why should I do Boxology® Academy courses?
Most providers will include a basic class or a ‘bolt on’ on how to hold pads. But, if you want to hold boxing pads effectively and teach your client to box like a Pro, you need to invest in learning the art of boxing comprehensively. You have to invest time in continuous personal development and correct boxing coaching cannot be learned in a few hours of basic pad work, boxing is a complex art with many skills and techniques involved. Boxology® also teaches you to teach boxing safely so you do not injure your client/boxer. If you are going to coach boxing, you should have as many skills up your sleeve as possible, Boxology® offers this extensive training.
Does the Boxology® Academy teach you to only teach one on one personal training?
No, Boxology® Round 2 teaches you how to teach a group class and how to get the best out of varying levels that may attend.
Are the courses just about boxing technique?
No, Boxology® Academy has written books that complement the courses with extensive information on anatomy and physiology, joint strength, central nervous system, energy system, warm up and cool downs, learning styles of individuals, how to be a good coach, mental exercises, periodisation of boxing programs and the history of boxing. Before you attend the courses, you will be required to read the book, so the two day courses will concentrate on the practical elements only, to hone your skills as a coach as best as possible.
How long are the courses?
Boxology® Round 1, Boxology® Round 2 and Boxology® Round 3 are all two days courses. Each day will be eight hours and that will give you CPD points. There will be a maximum of 10 on each course with two instructors, Boxology® prefers small groups as a more personal and individual style, in our opinion is more effective.
The ONLINE courses are done at your own pace.
Is there a practical exam?
Yes: On the Boxology® Round 1 course, there is a pre-requisite exam, you will be assessed during the course and a final practical assessment at the end of the course to see if you demonstrate the Boxology® Academy standards expected. There will be a pass or referred mark given to each individual based on their ability to coach boxing skills, communicate effectively and show a basic understanding of designing a session. A certificate will be received for all students who pass. If you are referred, you will have to attend another assessment after going away to practice what you have been taught.
On the Boxology® Round 2 course, there will be a pre-requisite exam, you will be assessed during the course and a final practical assessment at the end of the course to see if you demonstrate the Boxology® Academy standards expected. You will also be expected to log teaching hours after the course to demonstrate experience teaching both groups and one on one sessions. Once, you have logged ten hours of class hours and ten hours of one on one sessions, a certificate will be received. There will be a pass or referred mark given to each individual based on their ability to coach boxing skills and communicate effectively.
On the ONLINE course, we will require you to download videos of you coaching a few techniques for assessment before you receive your CPD points.

What if I need to re-sit?
You will be given guidance from one of our instructors of what you need to improve on and exactly where you went wrong, so it is absolutely clear, you will have also been spoken with during the course and given help on anything you were struggling with. Boxology® prides itself on quality and that is where we have received such a good reputation and quality assurance within the industry from Active IQ, CIMSPA and BBBof C. You will be charged £30 for a re-sit and it must be taken within 4 weeks of your attendance on the course, if you need further re-sits the same cost applies and must be taken within 4 weeks of the previous re-sit.

What is the pre-requisite exam?
This is a ten question online exam to show you have an understanding of anatomy and physiology on the Boxology® Round 1 and Round 2 course as this is not covered on the courses and a boxing skill based exam during both courses. This allows us to concentrate on teaching practical skills on the two day course.

You must receive a 70% pass mark before being allowed to attend the course.
