Development & CPD

The triathlon coaching world is forever evolving, which creates exciting opportunities but also comes with challenges. Furthering your learning journey as a coach by prioritising Continuing Professional Development (CPD) enables you to regularly apply attention to important areas of development and take appropriate action to reduce any shortfalls in knowledge. Equally, you should see CPD as a way to learn from your peers and as an opportunity to share best practice.

A planned approach to CPD allows you as a coach to put yourself in charge of your own development and coaching-related ambitions. A personal empowerment of learning brings with it an increase in confidence and resulting abilities, all of which help to improve your capability as a coach which is passed on to the athletes you are coaching.

Qualified triathlon coaches and newcomers to coaching can take advantage of our many development opportunities offered through the Triathlon Scotland coach development programme throughout the year. We believe that completing your coaching qualification is very much the beginning of your journey as a coach and to become a world class triathlon coach, it is important to continue developing your coaching skills.  Some examples of our CPD offering are details below.
