Introductory Sports Coaching Course

To address the need of member NSAs for training new coaches at the community level, the Hong Kong Coaching Committee (HKCC) has recently launched a new “Introductory Sports Coaching Course” (ICC). It covers 9 sports theory topics in coaching and sports science with a total of 28 contact hours. Graduates will be granted a certificate of the Introductory Sports Coaching Course (equivalent to Level 1 Accredited Coach) under HKCC. With this basic coaching qualification plus the relevant NSAs’ sport-specific components, graduates will be able to take up elementary coaching work at beginners level.

The two courses are recognized under the QF as Level 2 and Level 3 respectively .
