INTERNATIONAL JUDO ACADEMY


Quality Assurance Handbook
Introduction:
‘Judo is an educational sport by excellence. In Judo, we always dedicate time and attention to educating
and this is one of our main activities.’
Within the International Judo Federation, we created the IJF Academy, with the aim of educating coaches
and administrators, help former judokas continue their path in our sport as coaches or administrators. The
Academy is an important tool that helps us spread the knowledge and values of judo all over the world,
including countries with less tradition and experience in our sport, but with a great potential and desire to
develop judo.
Started in 2013, the IJF Academy had an excellent progress and very good results. One third of our
members are using the courses of the Academy, some countries even organizing their own national
courses or teaming up with other countries for regional courses. The current number of graduates is close
to 400 and it continues increasing.
With its customized curriculum and state-of-the-art on-line theory courses, available in more and more
languages, the Academy has become a real instrument, a benefit for the IJF as well as for the National
Federations and our sport in general. For the financial support of these courses we partnered up with
Olympic Solidarity and the National Olympic Committees, securing a maximum and optimal participation of
all the students.
IJF Member National Federations can start using the IJF Academy in order to educate a healthy and high-
level generation of coaches, that will contribute later to the development of the judo sport from grass-roots
to elite level, at a standard and generally accepted, correct level. The IJF Academy is one of the most
successful IJF projects that contributes continuously to the consolidation of the international Judo Family.’

The IJF started documenting its Quality Assurance (QA) procedures in year 2018. This first Quality
Assurance Handbook has been approved by the President of the International Judo Academy.
