Introduction

Boxing Australia's Level One Coaching Course is a mandatory accreditation for anyone wishing to corner competition boxers in any tournament sanctioned by a Boxing Australia Member Association. The course fee is $250.

If you reside in the Capital Region (Canberra/Queanbeyan/Yass etc) and are a member of Boxing ACT you can enrol for the course.
If you reside in New South Wales and are not associated with an ACT gym, you should enrol in a L1 course run by Boxing Australia New South Wales. If you want to enrol in Boxing ACT's course instead, you must email Boxing Australia New South Wales for a clearance showing you are with a BANSW-affiliated gym.

Purpose

The Level One Coaching Course is available to adults (18 and over). It focuses on coaching responsibilities, risk management, and skills and techniques, including correct punching, stepping and defensive moves. The course also covers Boxing Australia's competition rules and tournament procedures.

Pre-requisites

Attendees need to upload evidence of the following items prior to commencing the course:

State/Territory issued Working With Vulnerable People (WWVP) or Working With Children (WWC) card. Applicants coaching in the ACT should register online at https://mydigitalaccount.force.com/WWVPNDIS/s/. Applications take some time to process so you need to do this well in advance.
Basic First Aid (statement of attainment containing HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support and HLTAID011 Provide First Aid). Applications to attend this course in the ACT can be made online at https://stjohnact.com.au/available-courses-booking/ or you can enrol with a similar course provider.
Completion of the Australian Sports Commission's online self-paced "Community Coaching General Principles" course. This can be accessed and completed online for free at https://learning.ausport.gov.au/login/index.php

and the following modules from Sport Integrity Australia (https://elearning.sportintegrity.gov.au/login/index.php):

Anti-Doping Fundamentals Course (if previously completed, then you only are required to do the Annual Update)
Child Safeguarding in Sport Induction
Competition Manipulation & Sports Betting

Achieving these pre-requisites can be time consuming and MUST be organised well in advance of the course commencement date. You cannot attend the Level One course unless you provide proof of completing ALL of the pre-requisites above.

If you choose to be invoiced for this course, you must make payment before the course commences.

Accreditation

Participants assessed as having satisfactorily completed the course material will be emailed a Completion Certificate from Boxing Australia. Graduates who are not experienced in boxing coaching are advised to gain practical experience assisting boxing classes under the supervision of an experienced boxing coach accredited by Boxing Australia.

To corner competition boxers in tournaments, accredited coaches must also be a current financial member of Boxing ACT or another Boxing Australia Member Association. Once you complete the course, you can upgrade to coach membership online by logging into your Boxing ACT account and choosing "Upgrade"; this involves a fee.
