After successfully completing the UKCC Rugby League coaching qualification the coach will need to complete extra development to further extend their licence.

It is vital that as a coach, you develop yourself and further enhance your coaching skills and practices. Evidence that can support the re-licensing and re-validation can be attendance certificates, qualifications and other training both formal and informal.

Please see the document 'Coaching Licence, Criteria and Process' for detailed information on the criteria required.  This document refers to the 'Coaching Licence Extension Application' which must be completed by you.

Completion of a STEPS module can also re-validate your licence.  However, the same process, as above, must be followed.

Submission of applications are required prior to the expiry of the coaching licence (ID card).
