    i posted this question in the lounge but maybe one of the brits (maybe the trainers) can help me out here...

    im looking to teach boxing in schools, i know a few people here do it or have done it (stuey i think?), i'd like to know where and how to start off, what qualifications do i need and how do i apply for the scheme, google isn't much of a help.

    Great thread, funnily enough just started helping out with Boxercise at youth club i coach football at and i really enjoyed working the pads and i've been wondering if i should pursue a boxing trainers license in future. I did the leaders course which was ok...but i'd like to someday go into training young fighters. So like Relentless i'm interested aswell...

    this is all i found mate.

    Cheers Derry and LP :good

    I think it be good idea to go to your local club and offer to volunteer...i remember a trainer at my club did that and the club ended up sending him on the course but that was like 8 years back...so might of changed.

    Edit: reading that page that's what you will have to do Relentless.
