The International Triathlon Union (ITU) Technical Committee has approved the ITU Technical Officials Certification Programme.
National Federations will be contacted by ITU in the coming weeks to have a one on one discussion regarding the level of their technical officials and the possibility of getting their accreditation.
The ITU Technical Officials’ Certification Programme is based on previous education programmes. It was re-established in 2009 to develop technical officials and defines the requirements to officiate ITU events.
The purpose of this revamped programme is to:
• Identify and make transparent the criteria needed to be gained by technical officials
• Establish the level of certification required to manage ITU events
• Identify the role & responsibilities of everyone included in the process
• Establish the criteria to accredit National Federations to certificate ITU Level 1 officials (NTO)
For further information or requests please contact Thanos Nikopoulos, ITU Technical Operations Manager at thanos.nikopoulos@triathlon.org.
The ITU Technical Officials’ Certification Program can also be downloaded online.
