Trainer C licence in an inclusive education group

Our aim is to train qualified coaches - regardless of whether they have a handicap or not. This training leads to the DOSB-recognised trainer licence C (“interdisciplinary”) and is conducted and managed by the Modern Pentathlon Association in compliance with all DOSB regulations.
As with anything new, there is often reluctance or uncertainty. But those who take on this opportunity can not only learn a lot, but also actively contribute to making the sport more accessible for everyone! The training takes place in Krefeld, but is open to athletes from all over Germany. If necessary, we are happy to provide support with accommodation and other organisational measures.
