About our Courses
We are proud to offer AFL Industry courses tailored to meet the needs of AFL/AFLW players, club staff, coaches and, in many cases, the general public. These courses have been crafted to provide a comprehensive pathway for career development within the AFL Industry. Delivered by seasoned professionals and enthusiasts alike, our courses offer unique insights not typically found in mainstream educational programs.
Our non-accredited courses provide numerous advantages for advancing your professional goals:
- Enhanced Skills and Knowledge: Dive deeper into your field, supplementing your existing expertise acquired through accredited courses.
- Stay Current with Industry Trends: Remain at the forefront of industry advancements, acquiring the latest skills to meet evolving demands.
- Boost Earning Potential: Expand your skill set and certifications, thereby increasing your attractiveness to potential employers.
- Networking Opportunities: Forge connections with fellow professionals, fostering valuable relationships within your industry.
- Flexible Learning: Study at your own pace and convenience, fitting your education around your schedule.
While completion of our AFL Industry courses alone does not guarantee employment at an AFL club, they offer invaluable opportunities to learn directly from professionals actively engaged in roles within these clubs. Participants gain access to content unavailable in mainstream courses, providing a unique edge in their career pursuits.
For instance, one participant remarked, "I've studied a university degree in business, and just these two workshops with Geoff were more beneficial than most of the 24 units I studied at Uni. Loved it."
Additionally, our courses facilitate networking and the development of connections within the AFL Industry, further enhancing your prospects for career advancement.
Unlock your potential within the AFL Industry through our specialised courses, designed to empower individuals to thrive in their field.
