Following on from your online learning for the Assistant Water Polo course, this is the final virtual part to your course. These virtual classroom sessions will allow you to complete the rest of the theoretical elements of your certificate, before you embark upon your practical assessments.

We are starting to work with the clubs and regional staff to plan for at least one assessment location per region throughout the autumn and will confirm this as soon as possible. Your practical sessions will include assisting at training sessions to gain practical experience. We will communicate to you as soon as we have any details for this.

This part of the course is £100 and will include your practical assessment sessions.
