Take the leap into parkour coaching with one of our Parkour UK accredited coaching qualifications.
Parkour UK is excited to launch trials of our new, more accessible Level 1 Coach qualification.
The Parkour UK Level 1 qualification taken prior to July 2026 will transition to a Level 2 qualification and Parkour UK Level 2 qualification will transition to a Level 3 qualification from September 2026. Details of the process required to implement this change will be released nearer the time. Once a coach has met the required criteria to change their qualification, they will be able to coach independently within the syllabus set out for their level of qualification, provided they are over 18 years of age.
Our new Parkour UK Level 1 Coaching qualification helps provide a benefit to learners through an introduction into the principles and practice of safe, ethical, and effective management of coached parkour sessions in an appropriate environment.
This qualification is designed for young parkour coaches, teachers, volunteers, parent helpers and multi-skills coaches. This course enables the development of their knowledge on how to effectively coach parkour sessions and classes within a specific set syllabus.

As part of our "Gym Gold" membership, your venue and organisation has the opportunity to become a Parkour UK hub venue, and a place on our upcoming Level 4 master coach & coach educator qualification.
But what is a Parkour UK hub?
We see a thriving network of parkour businesses and gyms, who are a vital part of a healthy future for our sport.
We see our role as one of empowering, signposting, and facilitating. We want to take a local place based approach, supporting the growth of the sport with those who know it best, which is you.
