| The Olympic Solidarity Department (OS) of the IOC collaborated with the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) on its new Training Scholarship Courses.
Created by the ISAF Training and Development department with Training Partner Rockley International, this eight week course is designed for existing coaches, giving them the additional skills needed to run and develop a National Sail Training Programme in their home countries.
Olympic Solidarity may support funding applications for the new ISAF course under the Olympic Scholarship's Sport-Specific Training Option for Coaches, which forms part of their World Programme for Coaches. ISAF Member National Authorities (MNAs) who wish to apply need to approach their National Olympic Committee (NOC) and request the relevant OS application.
The Scholarship course can also be funded whole or in part through private sponsorship or in conjunction with existing private / MNA or NOC funding.
The 8-week ISAF Training Scholarship will provide the candidate with all the training and experience required to help develop and sustain a successful sail training programme within their MNA.
The ISAF Training Scholarship will develop Instructor Trainer skills in sailing, windsurfing and powerboating. Candidates will be taught how to teach others and how to manage an accredited Sail Training Centre or Sailing Club. The ISAF Scholarship will also develop candidate's knowledge on all aspects of running a nationally accredited Sail Training Programme.
