This is only the beginning where coaches are now better equipped with underpinning knowledge, it builds the base for more learning extensions and that actual coaching experience still has to be earned and collected.  

The Intermediate Course is also the pre-requisite for coaches who later wish to attend the FIG Level 1 discipline specific courses.
