- Accredited: Micro-credentials are quality assured and accredited by leading Irish universities. They have a credit range between 1-30 ECTS. Such accreditation would recognise the commitment of Officers to their personal development.
- Role Performance: The design of Gaelic games-specific courses would support Officers to fulfil their roles more effectively and become better prepared for future roles.
- Skills Gaps: They would be designed to meet the specific skills gaps that exist for Club and County Officers.
- Flexible: They are short, flexible courses designed to fit around people’s busy lives. Volunteers can take them at a time a pace that suits their commitments.
The GAA is finalising a new eLearning governance training module for Club Officers. Developed collaboratively by several GAA committees and the eLearning unit, this initiative is designed to strengthen Club governance and support volunteers by providing practical, accessible training on key topics such as governance principles, Club structures, officer roles, risk management, and compliance.
The module, which takes less than an hour to complete, aims to simplify expectations for volunteers. Club Officers will access the training via Tobar, with support available for those with limited digital access.
More information will be announced in due course.
