The Continuing Professional Development Program applies to all Coaches and Adjudicators from the 1st January, 2011. Please make yourselves aware of your obligations below:
Dancesport Australia has developed a competency based DanceSport Coaching and Officiating Accreditation system that is recognised by the Australian Sports Commission and Diploma level in the Australian Government's National Training Framework.
It is also a competency based on DanceSport Coaching and Officiating Accreditation system that will be internationally recognised as being at the world's best practice.
All DSA Accredited Coaches and Adjudicators have a professional obligation to themselves, to their couples and students, and to the community to plan and participate in a continuing education program, tailored to meet their own needs. DSA has formalized this obligation in it's CPD requirements.
Examples of structured activities include lectures, workshops, seminars, distance learning courses, and educational Videos, DVD's and audio tapes. Service on committees can also be counted towards meeting the DSA's CPD obligations.
