Courses FAQS
Can a tutor come to our venue?
Yes, our team of tutors can come to your venue and run an In-house course; if you cannot fill the course and wish to open it up, we will advertise any spaces via our website. To book, email us info@gymnasticbritannia.org
Do GB Courses have assessments?
Yes, all of our courses are assessed throughout by our tutors. At the end of the course, your tutors help each candidate complete their own personal statement of competence and limitations.
Can I run a session once I have completed the course?
Yes, because of our progressive vision and every course is at least a level 2, we and our partners ensure that once you have completed your course on condition (you are over 18 years old and complete the update course every three years) then, you are able to teach everything within the syllabus in your own right.
What is an update course?
An update course is usually one day long or can be completed online. Its purpose is to ensure that you are up to date with all modern practices and that your supporting techniques are still correct.
Subject to course guidance, you generally update the highest level course you hold; however, some courses are subject to specific regulations. Contact us for clarification info@gymnasticbritannia.org

We are a club from Republic of Ireland. Can we use the Service?

Membership FAQS
How do I register for Membership?
It is really easy. All you need to do is go to our membership page and click on the required joining category. This will take you straight through to a simple form to be filled out, followed by Payment. Then, we welcome you as a part of our family.
If my details change, how can I update them?
You can easily update all information if you are a direct member of GB by logging into your portal. If you are under the club spaces membership, you will update your details with the club directly.
Can I take my membership with me if I move clubs?
This is dependent on the type of membership. If you are a direct GB member, then if you transfer to another GB registered club, you can transfer your membership by emailing info@gymnasticbritannia.org. If you are a club-specific member, that is, if your club uses spaces membership, then that is specific to the club, and your membership is only valid whilst at that club.
I want to register for a club. How easy is this?
Extremely easy. All you need to do is go to the registration page (link to the page if possible), click Register Club, fill in the form, and submit it to us. We will contact you to confirm your registration and create a club invoice.
