    We are committed to the ongoing development of sports clubs, their coaches and volunteers. Our courses focus on the qualifications needed to attain the Belfast Clubmark accreditation. 

    Clubs that are working towards their Clubmark accreditation or have already achieved their award can enjoy a discounted rate for courses. However we also welcome clubs not currently registered for the scheme and clubs outside the current Belfast boundaries. 

    Places cannot be reserved until full payment has been made.
