National Coaching Accreditation Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to get officially certified through the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme to boost your coaching credentials across Australia.

The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme is a way for people to earn formal certification to prove their coaching skills.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for anyone who is either an aspiring coach looking to start their career or a current coach who wants to get officially certified.

What you get

By participating, you receive a formal coaching certification. This recognition is valid nationwide, meaning your credentials are accepted by sports organizations across the country.

What it costs you

There are fees associated with the training courses. The cost varies depending on the level of the sport you are coaching, with prices typically ranging from $150 to $500.

The catch to know

Your certification is specific to a single sport. If you decide to coach a different sport, you will need to complete a separate accreditation for that specific activity.

How to apply

  1. Determine which sport you wish to coach.
  2. Find the appropriate course level for your goals.
  3. Complete the required training and assessment.
  4. Check the official sports governing bodies for enrollment details.
