We are impartial in our vetting processes; provide the tools you need to stand independent and we promote you alongside other likeminded professionals “outside” of your current circle. Coach Check is also international, you will be noticed by people all around the world!

Absolutely, Coach Check understand that there are many competent coaches who have not undertaken formal nationally recognised training. Under these circumstances Coach Check will consider an applicant’s former experience and establish a “current competence” ruling based on the information provided in the application. The Coach Check model is based on a culture of continuous improvement and inclusivity. We help all coaches to meet community standards and contribute to a better, safer industry!

Coach Check are the first organization to establish a Star Rating system for coaches! The public are now able to identify the right coaches for their needs immediately!

A Coach’s profile will go “live” and be considered 3 Star, when they submit the sufficient evidence of work experience and or awards or certifications gained over the years. A Coach is considered 4 Star after they agree to adopt the principles of the member protection policy which focusses on coach integrity and client safety! The highest level is 5 Star, this rating is achieved when they submit a current background check that permits them to work with children or vulnerable people!

No, we would be failing as a vetting organization if we were to cast any “Star Rating” judgement over a Martial Arts School, Sports Club, or Fitness Studio! However, there is no reason why the fore mentioned cannot make the claim “All staff at this facility have been independently vetted and approved with “Coach Check!”

There are two ways to hire a coach. You may search for the coach you want and contact them directly via the Coach Check message service found on the coach’s personal profile, or you may post a job or vacancy via our “Jobs on Offer” feature!

If you are a parent wanting to find a coach for your child, you should be looking for a coach with a 5 Star rating! This will ensure that the coach has been background checked and follows recommended industry standards!

If you done see you current Coach, let them know about us so we can help to promote them and build their business!
