While the materials are provided by BWF, the courses will be run through national badminton federations.  Please contact your national federation (http://bwfcorporate.com/about/membership/) for information on upcoming courses.

If your national federation is not currently offering courses, please let them know of your interest!

Due to the hands-on nature of our technical officials’ courses, they are only run in face-to-face sessions through the national federations.

Each national federation will have their own procedures for selection and training at the national level, so you should contact them to discuss this further. (Please see contact information in FAQ #11.)

Technical officials who show promise and dedication at the national level may be recommended to advance to the continental level, and eventually maybe even to BWF level.  The first point of contact, however, is always your national federation.
