Endorsement Pilot
SkillsActive was invited by the DCMS Coaching Steering Board to take on the role of the UKCC Endorsement Agency in early 2005. A pilot of the endorsement process, involving 6 sports (Cricket, Cycling, Golf, Rowing, Rugby Union, and Swimming) began in June 2005 and was completed in November 2005.
During this time sports coach UK supported SkillsActive and the Endorsement panel with documentation and technical expertise while continuing to work alongside all 31 UKCC sports.

This work led to the creation of the evolved endorsement process which you can read about here
