Informal & non-formal learning in the Coach Development Programme for Ireland (CDPI)
• Informal learning is catered for on coach and tutor education courses through the writing of outcomes which are broader than the content/tasks covered in any particular module & is assessed accordingly. On this basis, informal learning can contribute to a qualification which is/will be placed on the NQF
• Informal learning is assumed in the ‘off-course’ elements of courses and in the periods after and between them, but at present is not directly accounting for or contributing to a qualification on the NQF
Informal & non-formal learning in the Coach Development Programme for Ireland (CDPI)
• Non-formal learning has not been part of the CDPI in the past but a number of NGBs are experimenting with different formats for their coach education programmes (e.g. communities of practice). At present these are not being accredited or forming part of a qualification but it is hoped that they will do so in the near future.
• Informal & Non-formal learning IS taken into account when someone is applying to undertake a course (coach, tutor or tutor trainer) in terms of APL (Accredited Prior Learning), but at present this is the only occasion on which these forms of learning are recognised.
Informal & non-formal learning in the Coach Development Programme for Ireland (CDPI)
• Part of Coaching Ireland’s remit is to agree/work with/accredit coach education programmes and work with the Qualifications bodies. The Government, nor the Irish Institute of Sport nor the 2 Sports Councils (Irish Sports Council & Sport Northern Ireland) dictate where the coach education programmes fit into the NQF.
• Ireland/Coaching Ireland is working towards accrediting all forms of learning within the CDPI, but we are not there yet, indeed there is some way to go!
• A Contentious issue is who gets to decide what the outcomes should be and how were they decided ?
