Professional Development Points for Teacher Re-Accreditation
Swim Australia Teachers who wish to renew their teaching qualifications are required to accumulate – and provide evidence of having accumulated – 15 Professional Development points during their 3-year Accreditation cycle.
Professional Development points are awarded to Swim Teachers and Coaches who have undertaken an SCTA-approved elective activity* such as attending conferences, webinars and in-house training sessions or undertaken online/informal learning modules, home-studies or a course refresher.
Why do I require Professional Development (PD) Points?
It is a requirement that you continue to develop and improve your teaching capabilities during the 3 year validity of your Swim Teacher qualification. Undertaking approved PD activities through informal education and training opportunities ensures that your knowledge and skills remain relevant in our ever-evolving industry.
