Education and training

Undertaking training as a coach is an important step in ensuring you are providing quality coaching to the participants you are working with. The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme is Australia’s system of training and accrediting coaches, which more than 70 sports participate in.

There are a number of ways of undertaking training as a coach, including face to face courses, online training, or working with a mentor coach. Whether you are coaching your children in a social competition, or want to take coaching more seriously, undertaking training and accreditation will provide you with valuable coaching skills.
