This talk will help you understand how to become a coach through the Australian Parkour Association's qualifications, which is one option. In this talk, Liam, the current president of the APA, will discuss the structure of those qualifications, how to approach training and studying for them, as well as general advice on making the transistion to a coaching or leadership role.
