Indigenous and non Indigenous men and women are encouraged to gain accreditation with the Australian Track and Field Coaches Association (ATFCA) bringing extended knowledge and structure to the Indigenous program.
Since its inception Athletics for the outback has accredited over 45 Indigenous coaches with the highest numbers coming from Western Australia where Indigenous coach Jacko Whitby conducts coaching courses in remote areas.
The education and continued education is a very important part of the Athletics for the Outback program.
