How to Become a Coach On the New Framework

• The Beginner course will be launched first. This is a generic coaching course, it is not gymsport specific and covers all of the gymsports.

• All courses consist of an online component and a practical (face to face) component. The online part has to be completed first before it is possible to book for the practical course.

• It is estimated that the online course will take about 8 hours and can be completed over a number of weeks.

• The transition process for current coaches will take place in March/April and will involve the State Technical Committees and National Commissions.

• The Intermediate and Advanced courses are planned for release in the second half of 2013.

• The new framework aligns to the Vocational Education Training (VET) scheme, enabling coaches to be awarded Cert II, Cert III or Cert IV in Sport Coaching on successful completion of the appropriate levels in the framework.
