Please note: Changes to Payment Options

We would like to thank you for using North East Course Finder (NECF) to access training opportunities. We recently conducted an administrative review to identify ways in which we could improve the efficiency of the service. One of the objectives of the review was to identify potential cost savings to enable us to continue to deliver a comprehensive range of high quality courses at low cost to meet the needs of the sport and physical activity workforce.

This review highlighted that the cost of collecting fees via invoicing is considerably higher than the online method. Following this review the four North East County Sport Partnerships, who are responsible for managing and funding NECF, have decided that from the 1st May 2012 all course fees will be collected online using debit / credit card or PayPal. The savings that we accrue from this change will be used to offset the cost of running courses and therefore help to hold down any future rise in course fees.

We hope that this change will not cause you any inconvenience and that you will continue to use NECF. If you require any additional information please contact Tel: 0191 497 2327 Email Chloe.Blakey@tynewearsport.org  

Welcome to the North East Course Finder. Here you will find details of many of the courses and workshops that are taking place across the region.

From this website you can book and pay for many of the courses or follow links to the organisers' websites and booking forms.

Sport Specific Courses: please note, that bookings cannot be taken for courses indicated as "Sport Specific". Providing your details for these courses will let the organiser know that you are interested, but is not a booking. To book onto the course you will need to contact the organiser directly using the contact details given in the course description.

For further information about any of the courses you can click on the course for a brief description or contact the relevant organiser directly using the details stated alongside the course.

This website is a result of the four County Sports Partnerships and their partners working together to identify the needs of the sport and physical activity workforce across the North East.

The four North East County Sports Partnerships offer a variety of support services for clubs, coaches and volunteers. To find out more about the support available in your sub region please click on the relevant logo below:
