We are constantly looking at how to improve what we deliver to ensure we are offering you the employer the best possible service, and working to give both teaching and coaching the recognition it deserves as a career choice for your staff.

Distinctions between the IoS Education and ASA Awarding Body

When it comes to teacher and coach education, people often ask how the IoS differs from the ASA – after all both deal with swimming courses.

Well, the simple answer is that the ASA is the examining body for qualifications and the IoS is the premier provider of ASA courses.

So, the IoS is like the college or university that delivers the courses and ASA Awarding Body is the examination board that approves the results and hands out the certificates.
