Course Information
Triathlon Foundation Coach
On completion of the qualification, you will be able to plan and deliver safe coaching activities under the supervision of a more qualified coach.
The course follows a blended learning approach involving a series of self-led online learning modules, two online workshops facilitated by a tutor, and one face-to-face development day.
You are required to complete all components of the course, including attending all online workshops and the face-to-face day, as well as completing all units of the e-learning content, and submitting a coaching diary.
Rather than completing an end-of-learning assessment task, the tutor will ensure that they check in with you throughout your learning experience to make a formative assessment of your level of competence and understanding.
Please read our terms and conditions before applying. Details can be found here.
Course Schedule
Full attendance is needed for all online workshops and the face-to-face development day. Please ensure you can attend the online workshops and dates as listed, whilst we will aim to record all online workshops this cannot be guaranteed. There will be extra costs if sessions are missed.
