Our AFL Industry Courses are available to AFL/AFLW players, club staff, coaches and the football industry. They have been designed to meet the needs of the AFL Industry and to provide a pathway for people to develop their careers across the AFL industry.
Courses are delivered online and consist of a combination of live Zoom workshops and online readings and activities. Zoom workshops are recorded and available in the online portal for viewing after the workshop so if you are unable to attend the day/time of the Zoom workshop, you can still complete the course.
