Previously, the Club Leadership Development Programme (CLDP) exclusively featured in-person workshops at the start but moved to an online format due to Covid-19. While this created many benefits for participants, concerns were raised about the limited in-person engagement and interest beyond core modules. To address this, the Officer Development Committee (ODC) have introduced a structured learning path leading to a Certificate in Club Leadership (Gaelic Games).
To take part in this training, Club Officers will need to have an account on Tobar. If you had an account on the previous version of the Learning Portal, you will simply be required to update your password. If you do not have an account at all, you will be required to set one up and information on how to do so can be seen in the documents section.
It is strongly advised that you use a 'personal e-mail addresses' to login to the Learning Portal. A personal e-mail account will allow you to keep a record of your learning history over time. If you login using an official GAA, LGFA or Camogie address, you will lose your learning history and certificates once you change roles and handover the official e-mail account associated with it.
CLDP Format 2024
From the 1st January 2024, all participating Club Officers will be required to complete the newly revised, self-paced eLearning Module. This module covers the core foundations of being a Club Officer.
Access to this eLearning Module can be found HERE
Once you enrol on this eLearning Module, you will gain access to the overall programme as outlined below in more detail. This allows you to track your progress throughout the programme.
Role-specific webinars will be taking place in January on a Provincial basis. Club Officers should attend the webinar relevant to their role in order to gain certification.
