The next Irish Squash Club Coach qualification will take place in Munster - commencing 10th-11th March 2012. Remaining course dates are April 29th and June 2nd and 3rd, 2012.

The programme runs over 5 days and requires attendance at all dates. No previous coaching qualifications are required and you will receive certification from Irish Squash and Coaching Ireland. This coaching qualification aligns to the Coaching Ireland Coach framework and is broadly aligned to the UKCC Level 2 qualification. This course is spread over a three month period in order to allow attendees to log their work and complete course projects.

For final certification candidates will submit a video presentation of a coaching workshop that they organise and film outside of the course. This will be used for independent verification and confirmation of their competency.

As with all Coaching Qualfications - on successful course completion you will be required to complete a vetting procedure and complete the Ethics in Sports course in order to become a registered coach.
