New UIPM Educational Platform is launched with revamped design, added interactive features

• Platform for UIPM athletes, coaches and judges has been redesigned with slick, engaging new interface
• It boasts a host of new resources and features including webinars and courses opportunities 
• Online Judges Refresher course for 2022-24 Olympic cycle will soon be available on platform

The Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) is delighted to unveil the brand new UIPM Educational Platform.  

The platform for athletes, coaches and judges has undergone a complete redesign to give it a new, interactive look and feel and boasts a range of fresh engaging content to help the educational journey of all members of the UIPM family. 

The UIPM Educational Platform was originally launched in 2017 as a centralized resource for judges and coaches as part of both the Judges Certification Program (JCP) and Coaches Certification Program (CCP). The updated 2022 version will now also include the Athletes Centred Program (ACP), which is to be launched separately soon.

Among the array of new features and content on the platform are educational webinars, publications, and a wide variety of informative videos, manuals and articles. Content tailored specifically for athletes includes career and educational opportunities, learning and development tools. For coaches and judges there is an interactive calendar of upcoming courses and master lists of UIPM-certified coaches and judges. There is also easy access to the UIPM Library. 

The new Educational Platform boasts a particularly user-friendly experience and ensures that the educational journey is attractive, fun but challenging too. 

The platform will be the go-to site for the soon-to-begin Refresher course for all UIPM-certified judges to renew their licenses for the upcoming Olympic cycle from 2022 to 2024.

UIPM President Dr. Klaus Schormann said: “I am both proud and very excited to see this new ultra-modern UIPM Educational Platform launched. 

“Education, the collaboration and sharing of knowledge and the focus on continual learning is central to everything we do. It is how we grow together. That is why this new platform, which brings our athletes, coaches, and judges together and provides so many rich resources for learning is a very important moment for us. I encourage all members of our UIPM family to log on and dive in!”

UIPM Coaches Committee Member Mr. Guillermo Filipi (ARG) said: “As we enter into such an exciting period of changes and challenges with our New Format, this new, improved UIPM Educational Platform will be a priceless resource.

“The variety of educational resources will be particularly useful for coaches across the world and I am sure the available tools will be a huge help too.”

UIPM Technical Committee Member Mrs. Agnes Kulcsár (HUN) said: “Our sport is so often about timing and the timing of this redesigned Educational Platform is perfect. Judges are facing into a new Olympic cycle and now have a great, engaging source to seek out all of the tools they need for the upcoming years.

“With the updated online Refresher course for all UIPM-certified judges beginning soon on the platform, I recommend our judges experience visit the new platform and get ready for the busy, exciting cycle ahead.”
