New european coach certification required for EKF events from 2023

In line with the other Continental Federations, the EKF EC has approved the Coach Course Programme detailed in the attached document.  This program will consist of two annual courses to be held in each of the European Championships (Senior and Junior). The first course to be held will be the one corresponding to the next EKF Junior, Cadet & U21 Championships in Cyprus in 2023, where the requirement of having the relevant coach level will be first implemented for coaches that want to officiate at the said EKF event.  It will also be possible to homologate WKF coach licenses for the Kata/Kumite levels (not for accredited level) and, the process of homologating certifications will be already implemented now, allowing to do so before the start of the 2023 season.
