COACH EDUCATION
Better Coaches | Better Players
NZF LEARN
NZF Learn offers coaches the opportunity to learn in their own time, whilst still holding onto the most important part of a course: the in-person engagement with peers, and educators and the quality conversations which take place at those times.
The three updated community courses below are now available. These courses consist of both online modules and an in-person practical component.
To register for a course practical component, please see below for available sessions and click to register. We encourage you to complete the online modules before attending the practical session.
Please note that delivery of the Senior Level One Coaching Award and Junior, Youth, and Futsal Level Two Coaching Awards will remain the same for 2024. Please see below for upcoming courses.
