If you're already accredited or working towards the Jersey Clubmark scheme, you could get financial support for coach education up to Level 2, or a short film to be made about your club or event.
You can only apply for funding for one coach education course per year. You must sign an agreement setting out the terms and conditions of funding. We will take account of any funding that you have already received from the Advisory Council for coach education courses.

The following is not covered:
- level 1 coach education courses off-island
- subsistence for the tutor
- tutor travel costs within Jersey
- course fees
If your club or association is able to deliver a Level 1 coaching course in-house (without bringing a tutor to the island) you could get up to £200 towards course fees.
Level 2 coach education
You can get support for the air or ferry travel and accommodation costs of up to three candidates to travel off-island up to three times in order to get a Level 2 coaching qualification. You can also get funding for up to 50% of the course fees for these candidates.
The following is not covered:

If your club or association is able to deliver a Level 2 coaching course in-house (without bringing a tutor to the island) you could get up to 75% of the total cost of the course, depending on the number of candidates.
