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.

  • FUN-damentals of Junior Coaching Award
  • Junior Level 1 Coaching Award
  • Youth Level 1 Coaching Award

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.

CPD Points

The Continual Professional Development (CPD) Programme applies to all coaches with an Advanced Coaching qualification and all qualified coach developers.

While coaches and coach developers are qualified for life, the ‘active’ status of qualifications are valid for a three-year period. To extend the ‘active’ status of qualifications for a further three years, coaches must earn 100 CPD points within that time frame.
