• all Athletes to Complete the appropriate WADA Education Program
• all Support Personal to Complete the appropriate WADA Education Program.

The course is at no charge, it just takes some time to complete, but in the interests of Clean Sport lets stand together.

If you are an athlete as well as a coach/referee/administrator, We would recommend that you start with the International Level Athlete Education Program.

Once you have completed that course, adding the High-Performance Coach Education Program will not take a lot of extra time as many of the modules are the same or similar. It is definitely worth having both certifications.
