Coaching
Getting started
A great way to begin your coaching journey is by shadowing an experienced coach at your local club. This will give you a valuable insight into what coaching involves, while also providing welcome support to the coach and the wider club environment.
We also recommend gaining experience with a range of participants, including young people. Coaching younger athletes can bring its own unique challenges, but it is also one of the most rewarding and enjoyable groups to work with.
When you feel ready to take the next step, explore our coaching courses to find the best starting point for your journey as a triathlon coach.
Coach Education courses will be offered throughout 2026 based on demand from clubs. If any of your club members would like to take part, please complete this form. Once we reach the minimum number of learners required, we’ll contact you with full details of the next course.
SUBSIDY
Subsidy funding may be available for those attending a coach education course. You may be eligible if you are a female aged 16–24, or a female planning to coach young people and/or females. Please complete this subsidy form and we’ll be in touch to let you know whether your application has been successful.
