Rowan Whichever country you are in, the Rugby Union of that country should have information about how coaching courses are run and where and when they take place. There are three levels of IRB coaching qualifications and more details about them can be found on the IRB.com website under "Education and Training" and then "Coaching." I hope this helps you.
You should start by attending a Rugby Ready course in your area. This will give you a sound basis to move onto the next level. Once on this path, the courses will be signposted clearly.
