Accreditation

Accreditation to work on Sport Ireland funded High Performance Programmes is achieved through Professional Membership of the Sport Ireland Institute. This is the system that recognises service providers who have the qualifications, experience, skills and ability to work in high performance sport. The programme aims to ensure that the best practitioners work with the best athletes. Professional Membership of the Institute will be awarded to those applicants who demonstrate the ability to apply Professional knowledge to bring about a significant positive change in elite performance within an ethical framework.

The delivery of services for each sport should be driven by the High Performance plan of that sport. Services will be delivered to each sport that best fit the needs of that sport – for example one sport may prioritise talent development over senior athlete support.  Ideally the IIS will provide sports with a multi-disciplinary planned service package that is integrated into the High Performance plan for each sport.
