The FIH Academy provides support for Athletes, Coaches, Umpires, Officials, Executive, and Events. The Coaching Courses are competency-based to provide an internationally consistent assessment for all coaches and all courses. This allows coaches to receive an internationally recognised Coaching accreditation.

The FIH Courses go from Level 1 through to Level 6 and are integrated into the Hockey New Zealand National Coach Development Programmes. This allows coaches to access on-going learning opportunities through the National Programmes, and then have the choice to engage in assessment based FIH Academy Courses to receive a coaching accreditation.

Please click on the below courses to learn more about the course prerequisites and components.

The FIH Level 1 and 2 are available online or in person. The Level 3 and 4 Courses involve a blend of online and face to face components.



GLH= Guided Learning Hours - this is with an FIH Educator        HSH= Home Study Hours (time outside of the guided learning hours)

FIH Coaching Courses will be advertised by the FIH Academy, or for face to face courses in New Zealand by Hockey New Zealand on behalf of FIH. There will be a course cost and this will be included in the registration information for the respective course.

For information about the Level 5 and 6, please contact Hockey New Zealand Coaching Manager to discuss.
