For existing coaches:

We are looking in the future to move towards a continuing professional development model
where you may be required to undertake further training to stay valid.

Translated: we'll be charging you more to be able to coach.

I'm close to being done with it tbh.

To be fair, I'd want coaches to be relevant and up to date.

I've nothing against relevant cpd for coaches at the right levels at the right time. Mandated (and likely costly) cpd for all to stay 'valid' isn't the same as this.

I spent enough years as a full time coach being denied cpd that now I'm told will be compulsory when I only coach the fundamentals to folks a handful of times a year.

On top of the outlay to keep first aid & safeguarding up-to-date plus travel time & cost to get to & from sessions it'll likely overall cost me to coach which isn't sustainable long term on my current income.
