Coach Accreditation Transfer

Coach Accreditation Transfer

To enable a smooth transition, and to bring the current Archery Australia (AA) coach accreditation in line with the AA updated coach accreditation, the following will occur:

• All Archery Instructors will be transferred to become Level 1 Coaches
• All Club Coaches will be transferred to become Level 2 Coaches
• All Regional Coaches will be transferred to become Level 3 Coaches
• All Coaching accreditation expiry dates between 31st October 2019 and 31^st December 2021 will be extended until December 31^st
• All coaching accreditation that has an expiry date after 31^st December 2021, will be valid until the stated expiry date.

• With these transfer arrangements AA is recognising the prior learning, experience, knowledge and skills of existing coaches, however, some continuing professional development will be required moving forward.

Transfer Process:

To ensure that all coaches have the opportunity to transfer their accreditation, the following process is required to be completed:

• Automatically Transfer every coach over to the relevant Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 provided they complete the online form – TBC
• There will be no fee for the transfer of accreditation to the new system
• For all Coaches that already hold Level 1 and Level 2 Coach accreditation, their accreditation or accreditation expiry date does not change (unless it falls before the 31^st December 2021).
