The objective of the Parkour UK 1st4sport Introductory CPD Award in Teaching Parkour/Freerunning (QTS) is designed to introduce teachers to the fundamental concepts and training principles of Parkour/Freerunning for use as part of a physical education / school sport in an education setting. It serves as an introduction, and enables teachers to initiate basic Parkour/Freerunning training within the school environment. This CPD award is limited to private spaces only such as the school gym or playground. If a school wishes to embark on a more developed Parkour training programme for its students, we strongly recommend engaging a Parkour UK 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Parkour/Freerunning qualified coach.
