What is the Get Active Queensland Accreditation Program (GAQAP)
The Get Active Queensland Accreditation Program provides teachers, school sport volunteers, tertiary and senior secondary school students throughout Queensland with FREE training that can ultimately lead to recognised accreditation in coaching, officiating and sports first aid.
The program has attracted more than 20,000 participants since its inception in 2002 and is a key component of the Queensland Government's commitment to getting more Queenslanders involved in sport and active recreation.
