FIDE EDU is pleased to announce the approval of certification for non-FIDE courses. Recognizing the development of many high-quality educational programs suitable for teachers, FIDE EDU aims to support professional growth and facilitate license renewal for FIDE EDU titles through this new certification initiative.
The EDU Course Certification is a four-year credential awarded to courses offered by federations, organizations, or individuals that apply and meet the established criteria.
Course content may range from a focus on chess skill development to a broader blend of skill development that includes chess skills, teacher methodologies, and curriculum connections (including transversal and interdisciplinary applications) for chess. Online, in-person, and blended formats (combining online sessions with in-person or self-study components) are all welcome.
Benefits of course certification for vendors:
- Assistance in marketing to a broader, motivated audience.
- Quality assurance for potential customers.
- FIDE logo on the course certificate.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and the review process normally takes up to six weeks.
