About the Korea Triathlon Federation - World Triathlon Coaching Education Programme
The World Triathlon Development and the Korean Triathlon Federation (KTF) are pleased to announce that we are now inviting applications for the sixth edition of the Korea Triathlon Federation - World Triathlon Coaching Education Programme to be delivered face-to-face between 04-09 November 2023 in Korea. The application is open for ODA Recipient Countries as it is defined by the United Nations (UN) list  (Asia and Oceania only).

The programme has been supported and fully financed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) of Korea, the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC), the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPF) and the Korea Triathlon Federation (KTF). The aim of the project is to provide opportunities for developing nations to access coaching education in triathlon and get qualified by World Triathlon as triathlon coaches at two levels: World Triathlon Level 1 Coach and World Triathlon Level 2 Coach.

Between 2017 and 2022 (there was no course in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic) 292 coaches from 64 National Federations from all five continents were awarded with World Triathlon Coach Certifications after their successful assessments.
