Entraînement

There are currently no minimum qualification requirements for coaches participating in the Canadian Masters Weightlifting Championships and Masters weightlifting competitions sanctioned by the IWF. However, competition directors may restrict the number of coaches in the warm-up room and/or in the training facilities.

Coaches are encouraged to have at minimum the Competition Introduction (Comp-Intro) certification.
