OT Needs You - Become an Accredited Coach!
12 Mar 2009
Orienteering Tasmania and its clubs need more qualified and motivated coaches. To become an accredited level 1 orienteering coach, one has to complete 3 course components within a 2-year period:
The general principles and sport specific components can be done in any order. The practical component comes last.

LEVEL 1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES COURSE
The accreditation process includes a “beginning coaching general principles course". The easiest way to do this course is online (free of charge). You can also do the course face to face with a training and business consortium in Hobart (their contact number is 6228 3555) but that involves paying a fee. For additional information and to enroll in the online course, check out following websites:

When you complete the 5 modules, you'll receive a certificate of which you'll have to OT a copy.
