Learning Lab
90 minutes
A free, online series of interactive and guest led webinars for tutors, assessors, coach educators, and coach developers who support coaches to learn and develop.
Overview
Learning Lab is a social learning space for those involved, or aspiring to be involved, in supporting coaches through formal curricula (such as coach education qualifications and CPD). It is a space to support and challenge each other across sports and contexts. Members share stories, support growth, and help create tangible and practical solutions.
This is for people who support coaches to develop their coaching practice within a formal curriculum (such as coach education) at all levels of sport and physical activity.
Learning Lab is free for all (thanks to Sport England funding), and exists to create a space for coach developers, and aspiring coach developers, to support each other and inspire learning.

I wanted to express how much I've enjoyed and learned in the last few months…it has been inspirational! The entire process has been both challenging and rewarding.
An excellent initiative for which I for one have been very grateful and have learned an enormous amount.
