Quite simply, NO this is not required and will not be supported. Once a participant has completed all modules of the online Foundation Coach Accreditation and can provide evidence of completion through presentation of their certificate, they will be deemed to have completed the course and subsequently awarded their Accreditation.

No. The online course has been developed based on the current, highly successful Foundation Coach Accreditation. It is an engaging and interactive online course with videos, learning activities and assessments at the end of each module. It will take between 3 – 4 hours to complete based on a participant’s current knowledge and skills.
What if I want to keep running face-to-face courses in 2016?

In 2017 Member Organisations will be required to apply for an exemption through Netball Australia should any clubs or associations wish to run a face-to-face course.
