Option 2 - RPL/RCC (Recognition of Prior Learning/Recognition of Current Competency)
A second way to become a Tri NZ accredited coach is to have your prior learning and current skills recognised by Tri NZ as equivalent to the core competencies currently required for Level 1 Coach accreditation.
The RPL/RCC option is aimed at overseas coaches wishing to become Tri NZ accredited coaches, or New Zealand coaches who have been residing overseas for a period of 12 months or more.
One of the accreditation requirements a Level 1 Coach RPL/RCC applicant must complete is the submission of the two modules below:
