World Triathlon Development and the Korean Triathlon Federation (KTF) are pleased to announce that we are now inviting applications for the Level 2 Course of the eighth edition of the Korea Triathlon Federation - World Triathlon Coaching Education Programme.

The programme has been supported and financed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) of Korea, the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC), the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPF), and the Korea Triathlon Federation (KTF).

The project aims to provide opportunities for developing nations to access coaching education in triathlon and get qualified by World Triathlon as triathlon coaches.
