Officials
Training & Education
In October 2011 the IPC Academy and its partner, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athletics launched an online course designed to be the first step on a pathway for anyone considering becoming a Technical Official in the sport.
The course, which is a 15 to 24 hour online learning programme, aims to provide a point of entry to those looking to get involved in officiating IPC Athletics. It ensures those who the complete the course have a greater knowledge, skill-set and competence of what is expected as a Technical Official.
Developed in an easy to follow learning format, the course includes the most up-to-date description of the rules and uses footage from recent Paralympic Games to demonstrate and highlight learning outcomes together with interactive quizzes, animations, images and other features
In addition, the IPC Academy is developing a complete series of programmes to complete the pathway through competency assessed initiatives which will be delivered by experienced and certified educators.
To access this programme please visit the IPC Academy website here.
