Application Process
All candidates who wish to enrol on the Rugby Football League Level 3 Coaching qualification must register their interest by emailing coursebookings@rfl.co.uk .
Acceptance on the programme is subject to having held a UKCC Level 2 qualification for a minimum of two years as well two years of demonstrable coaching practice.
Candidates must also complete the standard application pack which allows them to demonstrate their current skills and experience in coaching Rugby League.
It is essential that candidates at this level of coaching can demonstrate all their coaching and professional experience enabling RFL assessors to direct the candidate onto the most suitable programme.
Working Towards
On successful acceptance onto the Level 3 Programme you will have 2 years to complete the qualification. The working towards status will only apply for a maximum period of 2 years on the Level 3 programme offered by the RFL.
This requires the candidate to complete all the necessary units/modules within the agreed time frame to achieve the Level 3 qualification.
Coaches wishing to/or working in the professional game are required to engage a sponsor/mentor who will verify their commitment to achieving the coaching programme within the agreed time frames.
The Rugby Football League Coaching Course Registration Period:
Each coaching course has a specified registration period, and the learner must complete all aspects of the learning programme and assessment within that registration period. For Level 1 courses the registration period is 12 months, for Level 2 courses the registration period is 12 months and for Level 3 courses the registration period is 36 months. No extension periods will be granted for a coaching course without the learner providing the Rugy Football League with an extenuating circumstances form. Only one extension period in relation to a coaching course may be granted per learner.
If the learner fails to complete all aspects of the course within the registration period and can prove extenuating circumstances an extension may be granted (at the discretion of the Rugby Football League or the Awarding Body, where applicable). A re-registration fee will, however, be charged. It is the responsibility of the learner to contact the Rugby Football League (coursebookings@rfl.co.uk) as soon as possible and complete the extenuating circumstances form with supporting evidence. Where the learner does not apply for an extension or re-register within six months beyond their registration period, they will be required to repeat the course.
