The Level 3 Performance Development Coach gives coaches the opportunity to begin to specialise in either Sprints/Relays/Hurdles, Middle & Long Distance, Jumps, Walks or Throws.

Days Three & Four are then event-group specific and covers the coaching and technical analysis of your chosen event group.  

How do Level 2 Intermediate Club Coaches progress to Level 3 Performance Development Coach accreditation? Current Level 2 Intermediate coaches are able to take on the Level 3 Performance Development Coach accreditation if they have held their previous accreditation for a minimum 6 months. These coaches will need to complete the full four day course.

How does a coach transition from Level 2 Advanced accreditation to Level 3 accreditation in their current event group? Attend Day Two Strength and Conditioning Modules and complete post course assessment tasks.

How does a coach transition from Level 2 Advanced to Level 3 accreditation in a new event group? Attend Day Two Strength and Conditioning Modules and Attend Days Three & Four in new event group.
