Abdullah Ünlübay: "New World Taekwondo Coach License System"
From next year, only coaches who are in possession of a coaching license issued by the world association will be allowed to enter the fighting area. The licenses previously issued by the continental associations are no longer valid. The preparations for the worldwide conversion of the coach license system are already in full swing at the world association.
Since the beginning of the year, instructors certified by the World Taekwondo have been trained who are to take on the training of club coaches in their nations in the future. From Germany, Abdullah Ünlübay, Referee Officer at the DTU, successfully participated in the “WT Educator Certification Course” in San Jose, Costa Rica.
The way to Costa Rica was not as easy for Abdullah Ünlübay as it looks afterwards. Registration for the course went through the DTU. However, after the number of participants was very limited and there were many applications to the world association, Abdullah had to wait a long time until he got the approval from the world association. At the same time, Abdullah also had to take care of the preparations and implementation of the German Open in Hamburg. "Since both dates were so close together, I flew directly from Hamburg to Costa Rica."
The very extensive set of rules was presented to the 31 course participants in San Jose. “The topics of the course were 304 pages in total. Everything was dealt with. ”In the end, the participants had to answer twenty questions in a written exam, give an 8-minute presentation on a given topic in English, and then also put their knowledge to the test in an oral exam. From Abdullah Ünlübay's point of view, the whole test was very demanding. "When I was told a few days later that I had passed the exam, I was really relieved."
The future courses for acquiring the coach licenses should, if possible, be carried out in the respective national language. Abdullah Ünlübay speaks three languages and can therefore offer courses in German, Turkish and English.
Abdullah Ünlübay plans to offer two coaching license courses each year. Details will be announced by him. As far as this can currently be estimated and can also be implemented, the courses are to be offered this year.
For the acquisition of a level 1 coach license, two course days are scheduled, for level 2 the course will last three days. After the course, an examination in the respective national language is required.
The dates of the first courses will be published by Abdullah Ünlübay as soon as this is possible in the current situation.
A concept with all questions and answers related to the new WT Coach license system was developed by the world association. The concept was translated by Abdullah Ünlübay.
