This is a blended learning programme, lasting one semester, for part-time learners who work in the sport and physical activity sector. The programme will be delivered in a manner that suits adult learners who may be based throughout the country and who will have to combine their studies with full-time work.

 

It will include three 2-day intensive blocks of learning time at MTU Kerry North Campus spread over one semester. The Diploma in Sports Coach Development has been designed to provide students with a range of skills and competencies that will enhance their facilitation and delivery skills.

 

This programme will add to the training and expertise of Coach and Instructor Developers and other sport and physical activity professionals by increasing their knowledge, skills, and understanding of learning theory, leadership theory, and reflective practice, all through supportive practical learning experiences. If you are not a Coach or Instructor Developer, and work in a sport coaching role or in a related field, it is possible to complete a Certificate in Applied Practices in Sport Coach Development.
