New Online Training

New Online Training Course

Welcome to the new version of the Play by the Rules free online training course, which was launched on the Australian Sports Commission’s eLearning System on 1 December 2011.

The course features two new modules:

1. Child Protection
2. Harassment and Discrimination

The modules provide information for coaches, administrators, officials, players, parents and spectators on their rights and responsibilities under discrimination and child protection laws.

They are succinct, user-friendly and feature the latest interactive technology, including case studies, practical scenarios and a quiz. The modules are short, and may be done in part or all at once.

Users who successfully finish both modules and their assessment quizes can print a certificate of completion. The completion of the Play by the Rules course will be a requirement for Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) training in the near future.
