Scottish Rugby’s new way to support and recognise coaches to continue learning. Meet the Minimum Standards, then build 100 Accreditation Points through free Scottish Rugby workshops and e-learning to become an accredited coach.
Minimum Standards + 100 Accreditation Points = Accredited Coach
| Learning | Points | |
| Practical Workshop | 60 | Recommended |
| Online Workshop | 40 | Live, online |
| E-learning Module | 20 | Up to 3 count each year |
| Community Game Conference | 100 | Held annually |
Points stay live for 12 months. One practical and one online workshop takes you to 100.
All learning is booked on SCRUMS. Workshops run throughout the season, mostly in May, August, September and November.
| Practical Workshops | Face-to-face, for Mini Rugby to adults. |
| Online Workshops | Live workshops you can join from home. |
| E-learning | Short modules on Gainline, in your own time. |
| Coaching Courses | Coaching Essentials, Advanced and Specialist Courses. |
