• 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

    Please note the following mandatory prerequisite courses for all Preliminary and Level 1 Coaches.

    These courses only need to be completed once and do not need to be renewed annually. They can be completed through the PCA Academy square tile in your JustGo profile:

    1. ASC Community Coaching Essentials Skills

    2. Sports Integrity Australia (SIA)- Safeguarding Children and Young People in Sport

    3. SIA - National Integrity Framework course (available at https://elearning.sportintegrity.gov.au/)
