BWF Centralised Courses – Pilot Launch

The BWF is excited to announce the pilot run of our global centralised courses, which will allow participants to enhance their educational experience and access a wide variety of coach education and member-capacity building programmes on a regular basis.

Centralised Course Offerings

The first batch of courses will be run in May/June in Dubai and includes:

• BWF Coach Education Level 3 (open to coaches with BWF Level 2 or official equivalent) – 24 to 29 May
• FastTrack Course (for former or current international players to earn a coaching credential) – 10 to 17 June
• Coach Education Tutor courses (Level 1 & Level 2)(for qualified candidates nominated by their Member Association / Continental Confederation) – May/June

Later in the year (dates to be confirmed), we will also offer:

• WAoS/BWF Player Pathway Programme (aimed at Member Association administrators and high-performance directors)

Other centralised courses to be offered in the future include:

• Event Management Level 2
• BWF Leaders Pathway (currently under development)

Why Centralised Courses

BWF educational programmes are designed as pathways from introductory elements up to world-class learning experiences, whether in coach education, event management, administration, or beyond.

Participants can get a feel for the pathways through introductory online experiences, which are readily accessible at any time.  Those with talent and dedication may participate in face-to-face courses at national and even continental level. For those who are ready to take the next step, centralised BWF flagship courses will ensure that candidates can smoothly progress to the highest levels in the most effective way possible.

Centralised courses aim to enhance the educational experience by allowing participants to:

• access high-level courses on a regular basis
• learn from BWF expert facilitators
• interact with colleagues from around the world
• earn a globally recognised qualification in their chosen pathway

How to Apply

Interested participants should express their interest to their Continental Confederation (Development Department). Each Continental Confederation may define its own application process.

The BWF will work with the Continental Confederations to identify a mix of qualified candidates for each course.

The BWF will review shortlisted candidates starting 1 March. Financial support will be available for those candidates selected to participate.
