Every instructor and coach is required to earn annual points to maintain current and future coaching levels. The educational year runs 1 May to 30 April.
Points are earned in 4 Categories : A,B,C,D,E. 
There are 3x MANDATORY categories : A,B,E and a specific number of points are required in each of these groups.
The balance of points required for the year will be taken from groups C + D, the Non-Mandatory categories.
*If there are no points in C+D then further points can only be redeemed from Group A points.
Every course or workshop that a coach/instructor successfully completes is worth varying amounts of points in different categories.
Points are valid for 4 years only. Any unused points will fall away.
Note: The point requirements per level may change year on year.
