BTC Insurance Policy V5.0 Page 5 of 7 Dec 2023 APPENDIX A BRITISH TAEKWONDO COUNCIL INSTRUCTOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT 1. After successfully completing all the necessary requirements to become an accredited instructor within the British Taekwondo Council: • BTC Registered Instructor Course (pre-requisites Black Belt and minimum 18yrs) • BTC Basic Safeguarding Awareness Course • BTC Professional Indemnity Insurance • Enhanced DBS certificate (via BTC) • First Aid qualification (as detailed in BTC Health and Safety Policy para 6.1.4) It is good practice that instructors annually review their training and development needs and update their qualifications and insurance as and when required. This may be done with input from the instructor’s Organisation. 2. Organisations have a role to play in the induction of a student wishing to become a Registered Instructor. Students will already have demonstrated their aptitude and willingness to continue their own Taekwondo development by formally taking on the role and responsibilities of a Registered Instructor. A student’s application to become a Registered Instructor must be supported by their Organisation with confidence that they are likely candidates. 3. BTC Registered Instructors are expected to continue their own learning and development by actively training in Taekwondo, attending seminars to keep abreast of their Organisation’s syllabus and Taekwondo technique, and in response to any other training and development needs identified by an annual self-assessment and review of their skills and behaviour. 4. The BTC provide a template of a document which will enable you to undertake a selfassessment and seek feedback from a colleague or senior, which will identify strengths and weaknesses. This, then, can highlight an action plan to improve skills or behaviour. 5. A sample form is given in Appendix B for BTC instructors to complete a review of their skills and behaviour. 6. The BTC Capability Policy (see BTC Code of Conduct and Ethics booklet) provides a fair and objective structure for managing an instructor’s or BTC employee’s work performance where it falls below an acceptable level. Any issues of capability and conduct which reach beyond the informal and formal stages described in the Capability Policy will be dealt with through the Disciplinary Policy (see BTC Code of Conduct and Ethics booklet).
