The second ITU Facilitators course was held on 8-10 July in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the Olympic Sports Hotel. The course was conducted by Alan Ley and Thanos Nikopoulos.

The facilitators course included a total of 30 hours of instruction and was designed to ‘Train the Trainers’ to conduct ITU level 1 or 2 Coaches and Technical Official courses. The candidates are nominated by their triathlon country federation and must possess a Level 2 Coaching or Technical Official Certification before being selected for the course itself.

Mr Cheah Choon Nam, the President of the Triathlon Association of Malaysia, and Mr Ki, ITU-ASTC Sport Development coordinator, organised the course.

The 15 candidates attending in Kuala Lumpur were from Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Oman, Iran, Philippines and Malaysia. Also present at the course were Mr David Hoong, the Asian representative to ITU, and Datuk Valwant Singh Kler.

The course candidates are required to complete pre-course assignments and during the course sessions must present on topics and conduct practical exercises. The candidates learn applied facilitation and presentation skills, and also participate in classroom sessions on communication, learning styles, group work and specific ITU course recommendations and administrative tasks.
