Sports Credentials

A new curriculum for the Level 1 courses was introduced by Athletics Australia after April 1, 2010. At the time it was initially known as Level 1 Beginning Coach. It relates more to the 'how' (the process and skills) of coaching, rather than the 'what' (event specific knowledge) of coaching. From 31 January 2013, this Course is known as Level 1 Community Athletics Coach. This is the first step on the Coaching Pathway.

The Level 2 Intermediate Club Coach is very similar in content to the "old" (prior to April 2010) Level 1 Course, but there is now a greater emphasis on the ability of the participant to 'coach', rather than just technical knowledge.
