• CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) POINTS FOR COACHES

  • PCA policy requires Preliminary and Level 1 Coaches to obtain 12 points over a four-year period to renew their accreditation. 

    As our education delivery options and content continue to improve, the options to accumulate points have also evolved. 

    This form should be used when you are advised that your coaching qualification is due for renewal. You will receive an email notification from JustGo 6 months prior to your expiry date. If your qualification is not due for removal, and you would like to record your coaching activity, please download the activity sheet at https://ponyclubaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/PCA-Coaching-Log.pdf
