The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Academy has opened applications for its next Coach D Course, set to begin in September 2026.

The online education programme is designed for coaches and aspiring coaches in the rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines, providing a structured introduction to coaching within the Olympic shooting sport framework.

 

The course runs for a maximum of 12 weeks and requires approximately five hours of study per week. Participants will attend weekly live online lectures, while recordings will be made available for those unable to join the sessions in real time. As part of the practical learning process, participants are also encouraged to visit a shooting range regularly throughout the programme.

 

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded the ISSF Academy Coach D Certificate, marking the first step in their ISSF coaching education pathway.

 

Applications are now open and can be submitted online through the official registration form: https://mjxrne0xqg6.typeform.com/to/c8Q71Mcg

 

The ISSF Academy welcomes coaches from around the world to begin their coaching education journey and contribute to the future development of shooting sport.
