CRIMINAL RECORDS BUREAU CHECKS
Online Application System Now Available!
All qualified and registered Table Tennis coaches operating within England are required to obtain a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) certificate which must be renewed every 3 years.
The ETTA is changing to an online CRB application system which will make it cheaper, faster and easier to obtain an Enhanced Disclosure Certificate. Coaches may still use the current paper based application through the ETTA office until 14th November 2012, at the current cost of £19 (excluding CRB fee where appropriate and ID verification). After that date those wishing to apply via a paper version will need to apply to TMG direct (see Option 2 below). As a comparison the tables below show the costs using the new online system (option 1 below) as compared to future paper applications:
