Course delivery and cost

This course is delivered in two phases:
– Distance Learning. Participants will be provided access to 5 online modules to complete in their own time. NOTE: due to a change in provider these modules are temporarily unavailable. Participants will be expected to complete the online modules in the 2 weeks leading up to the course (when ICC will release the new elearning).
– In Person Learning. Participants must attend an in person course, delivered by an ICC Tutor.
The course induction will take place ONLINE on Friday 3rd April at 7pm. The in-person modules and assessment will be delivered on April 4th-5th, 2025 in the sports hall at ZŠ Lipence.

The course fee is 2000,- per coach. ČMKS and KAČR will subsidise 50% of the course fee for all participants, therefore the per participant rate will be only 1000,- per coach. 

Note that the 2026 coaching rate for KAČR ICC Level 1 coaches is over 400 CZK per hour, so if you become an active coach following the course, the cost can be quickly recovered.

The course will be delivered by the head coach of Kriketová Akademie ČR, Chris Pearce who is a full time cricket coach, qualified with ICC Level 3 and ECB Advanced Coach certifications. He is qualified ICC Coach Tutor.
This course will be delivered in English. Czech-speaking cohorts will follow.
