Apply for Merit based license

ISSF coach license based on merits is now open for application.

There is now an opportunity to apply for a merit based license. Please note that this is the last call for a merit based license.

Please apply with the online form and attach your documents to prove your case, including recommendation letter from a Federation you come from or work for currently.

When listing your achievements the most important credits come from your athlete’s success in Olympic games and ISSF World Championships. Other competitions, like World Cups and Continental Championships are secondly important.

And being a personal coach makes your application stronger than being a team coach.

Time to apply until 31.3.2026.

The Academy Board will then review the applications and make the decisions when the application period is over.
