Presentation Briefing

Theory Component

The theory component of the Community Coach Course and Club Coach Course will be completed online via “etrain u.” Coaches can complete the theory component in their own time and at their own pace.

Practical Component

All theory modules will be presented to allow candidates to experience coaching, being coached by each other and being coached. Formal coach accreditation courses have evolved tremendously during the past ten years. Courses were once about someone talking at you as a candidate and the challenge was to see how much you could write down. We will not present a heap of drills, instead, candidates need to show they are competent in being able to form a group, communicate key teaching points, provide effective and timely feedback to the participants, and increase/decrease the complexity of the activity to suit the needs of the participants.
