Introduction

If you wish to apply to register on the 2018 ECB Level 2 Coach course to be held in King's Hospital, Dublin, starting November 3 & 4, please read the following information and complete the application form as needed. Please note this is a national course for coaches from all of Ireland, and integrates, as required, the ECB’s ‘Certificate in Coaching Children’ & ‘Certificate in Coaching Young People and Adults’ course material.

Before completing the form, please read the course information and course details carefully.
