BQ transition Referee Education and Accreditations to etrainu platform

Basketball Queensland (BQ) has partnered with etrainu, a leading provider of online training solutions, to enhance official development and accreditation processes across the state.

The move to etrainu has been made to align with Basketball Australia and provide our referees and referee coaches with an easy-to-use, automated accreditation system. 

Technical Officials Development Manager, Alex McEwan is excited to continue developing progressive opportunities, programs and courses for technical officials across the state.

“BQ has worked hard to redefine the way we train referees, creating a more efficient and effective program across the state” said McEwan.

“The etrainu platform provides Queensland officials with an engaging set of courses from beginner through to intermediate grades, with an advanced grade course coming soon. These courses allow officials across the state to develop their skills and progress their theory knowledge.”
