USA Triathlon launches new online education platform for coaches

The system, which uses LearnUpon technology, brings webinars, newsletters, exams and certifications into a single portal to improve the user experience and technical functionalities.Users will save time on the platform, allowing them to focus on honing their practice through educational opportunities.“The rollout of USA Triathlon’s online education platform is one step in our long-term vision to better serve our coaching community,” said Bryant Howard, USA Triathlon coaching specialty manager.“Addressing the pain points that users experienced on our previous systems has been a top priority for USA Triathlon over the past few months.“We look forward to introducing the enhanced USAT University to our key constituents and we are confident they will realise efficiencies as a result.” The transition to the new USAT University platform includes a phasing-out of both the previous Conference Edge webinar portal and the former USAT University site.USA Triathlon has begun the migration of coaches’ accounts — including records of completed CEUs and certifications — from the previous systems to the new platform.
