Motorcycling Australia launches new online learning platform for officials and coaches

Motorcycling Australia (MA) is making it easier than ever for officials and coaches to access the training they need with the launch of the Motorcycling Australia Learning Centre (MALC)—a fully online, flexible learning management system designed to support the growth of motorcycle sport across the country.

Developed in collaboration with the Australian Sport Learning Centre (ASLC) as part of MA’s partnership with the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), this platform removes barriers to entry for new officials and coaches while providing ongoing professional development for those already involved in the sport.

 

Why MALC? More Accessibility, More Opportunities 

Motorcycling Australia understands that many officials and coaches juggle busy schedules, so the MALC has been built with convenience in mind. With no set time limits and 100 percent online access, participants can complete courses at their own pace, from anywhere, on any device.

For newcomers, MALC makes it easier to get started in officiating and coaching by streamlining the education process and providing clear, structured learning pathways.

For existing officials and coaches, it offers a central hub for ongoing training to help them enhance their skills, stay up to date with best practices, and advance within the sport.

 

Aligning with the Best in Australian Sport

The involvement of the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Sports Learning Centre ensures that motorcycle sport benefits from the same high-quality education frameworks used by major national sports such as swimming, athletics, netball, and snow sports. This collaboration reflects MA’s commitment to building a stronger, more professional sport by increasing the volume and capability of trained officials and coaches. More qualified officials and skilled coaches mean safer, better-organised events and a stronger future for motorcycle sport in Australia.

 

Launch Details

The Motorcycling Australia Learning Centre is live today, launching with the following courses:

• Level 1 Operational Official Course – Ideal for those starting their officiating journey
