Prepare Now for Upcoming Coaching Renewals

To maintain EA Coaching registration, coaches must renew their EA Coach Registration on an annual basis.

EA Coaches must have current EA Membership at all times for their insurance and registration to remain valid. EA Membership is processed via your local State Branch, and can be renewed via MyEA on an annual basis - this differs between States.

To maintain your EA Coach Registration and be recognised as a current, accredited EA coach, you will need to ensure you have:

1. attended an EA Coach Update. Attendance at an update is required every two years. If you need to attend this year there are two ways to do this:

• Watch an online presentation – you can purchase access to the online Coach Update presentation for $50 HERE.
  
• Attend a presentation from a Coach Educator – If your preference is to attend a face to face event, your Coach Educator can deliver the exact same content as contained in the Online Coach Update Clinic. Contact your Coach Educator for more information.

If you are a Coach Educator and you would like to hold a Coach Update Clinic you can order your resources HERE.
