World Sailing offers three different courses, each designed to develop the core skills required to coach sailing at different levels. The courses are run by World Sailing Nominated Experts and may be organized and funded privately by the MNA (Member National Authority) or in conjunction with the relevant National Olympic Committee who will be able to assist in gaining Olympic Solidarity funding from the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
