Course Structure & Requirements

The course consists of two parts. Candidates can apply to start the course at any time and then look to join a practical course when a suitable one is available – however both parts must be completed within 2 years of starting the course.

Part A: e-learning, Knowledge Checks and Self Study (30 hours approx.)

The e-learning module own e-ParaVolley introduces foundational concepts and theory, which can be worked through at each individual candidate’s own pace. The content consists of 26 modules and integrated within are Knowledge Checks and Self Study assignments, along with the production of a (non assessed) Coaching Portfolio.

Part B: Practical (3 days)

Practical face-to-face sessions are designed to enable candidates to apply the knowledge gained in Part A, in both training and competitive environments, as well as learn from the other candidates on the course and the experienced Coach Tutors.

The course costs 100 EUR, payable on starting the e-learning part, along with the costs associated in attending the practical part of the court – the amount for this will vary based on timing and location.

Pre-requisites

To qualify for the World ParaVolley Level 2 Course, applicants must be at least 21 years old and (where applicable) have a supporting letter from a World ParaVolley member.
