RE: Realignment, Amalgamation and Updating of HKRFU Courses with IRB Courses

Congratulations on the proactive work of the Coach education programme in Hong Kong .

Further to our meeting regarding the HKRFU Coaching Courses I wish to confirm that the 2005-06 & 2006-07 HKRFU Level 1 Coaching Course & 2007-08 HKRFU Level 2 Coaching Course The content of which is the same as the HKRFU Level 1 Coaching Course that was delivered in 2005 to 2007) meets the following standard:

• The Course meets all the criteria for the IRB Level 1 Coaching Course (Certificates will be issued by the IRB).
  
• To meet the criteria and standard to attain accreditation for the IRB Level 2 Coaching Course the following steps need to take place:
  
  • A further 6 hour module will need to take place to cover the following content
    • Principle of Attack and Defence
    • Relationship between key factor analysis and principles of attack and defence
    • Laws of the game

Accreditation:

• Attendance and participation in all modules
• Submission of a 12 week coaching diary
• Achievement of satisfactory 45 minute practical assessment
• Achivement of 80% in open book tests
• Sign Code of Conduct

It is very worthwhile to align yourself with IRB as this is where the database is housed for all accredited coaches.

We will continue to update our courses to meet the current laws, trends and best practice to further assist our coaches, players, match official and administrators.
