  • Sporting Clubs and Organisations - these can be at community, regional or state levels
  • Public and private secondary schools
  • Aquatic facilities
  • Leisure and Community Recreation centres
  • Resorts
  • Indoor Sports Centres

The course that you study will depend on the type of work you are doing, since the workplace must be able to support what you are learning. Traineeships provide an opportunity to earn and learn at the same time.
