Level 1 Coach Programme
The Tri NZ Level 1 Coach Programme can be broken into two broad groups of activity:
1. Practice-based activities
2. Knowledge-based activities
These activities can be completed on their own and at any time by a coach or potential coach who isn't ready to (or doesn't wish to) register on the Level 1 Coach Accreditation Programme. However, over time a coach may complete sufficient activities that they feel it is worthwhile getting recognition for the development work they have completed, and seek accreditation.
So, if you feel like just 'chipping away' at the Level 1 Coach Programme, have a go at completing the actvities ("modules") below in your own time.
