PaddleNSW is investing in the future of paddle education in NSW with the PAQS Leaders and Coaches Webinar Series. These one-hour webinars share expertise from around the NSW and national paddling community, and are targeted to current and aspiring leaders and coaches with time for questions and discussion.
Next webinar topic: Paddle Education and the Paddle apps, PaddleEd and PaddleLog
When: Tuesday 31st May, 19:30 AEST
Topic: Mark Thurgood (Participation and Training Manage at PA) will discuss the functionality of the PA Education apps and show us how to navigate across them quickly and efficiently to obtain, assess, process and renew your qualifications. There have been a number of changes to the system following the survey in Nov ’21 so it will be good to learn about the changes in this webinar. There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask Mark questions.
Mark will also provide an update of the new Sport Australia Essential Skills online program and how this may impact in the future on PA coaching qualifications.

Note: The aim is to keep these webinars to 1 hour. They will be recorded and posted on the PNSW Youtube site. Note that the online booking is for 1.5 hours as a precaution and to also facilitate those of you who wish to stay online and ask Mark further questions.
