Whilst remaining fully committed to maintaining standards of competency required at each level of the new coaching qualification structure, we are very keen to recognise the efforts of those with significant coaching/hockey experience that do not currently hold formal coaching qualifications or awards. In recognition of their efforts, we are currently devising an Accredited Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) policy to allow them to enter the coaching pathway at a level appropriate to them.
