Please note that in order to coach at any EKF or BKF competition, you will need a current EKF tatami accreditation pass.

Under normal circumstances to qualify as a tatami coach, both a payment and successful exam result are required. However, given the current circumstances, the EKF are offering this opportunity free of charge, and without the need to sit an exam.

Attendees to this online course will receive either a 1 year extension to their existing qualification, or be granted a 1 year qualification for new applicants.

The above is predicated on the stipulations below being met by all candidates.

• All candidates must have a current enhanced DBS in place and be registered on the update service. A copy of this DBS must be produced at the same time the application form for the course is submitted, and by the latest date of the 12th December 2020.

• If this stipulation is not complied with and within the stated time frames, no Tatami Accreditation badge will be issued, and the exam process will have to be undertaken along with any relevant fees having to be paid.

• All candidates must complete the course application form and submit to the email address on the registration form.

• All candidates must have an up to date EKF licence with an EKF number.

• All new candidates or those with expired badges must supply 2 passport style photos for use on the Tatami Accreditation badge. These should be posted using the details on the registration form.

• All candidates must be in official association tracksuit.

• All candidates must be 18yrs or older, and a Dan grade.
