Advance Your Taekwondo Career with Mario Boser's Unmatched Qualifications and Cutting-Edge CPD at Taekwondo4Fitness

Ongoing personal and professional development is critical to further qualify as an Instructor at Taekwondo4Fitness and within the fitness industry.

For this reason, in 2018, I signed up for a Personal Trainer Qualification towards Level 4 with Future Fit Training.

I am a former British Taekwondo Instructor and National Poomsae Referee who gained full Disclosure Checks clearance, which is crucial for working with children and vulnerable adults in the UK. I hold a 4th-degree blackbelt with the Independent Taekwondo Organisation and a 3rd Dan with Kukkiwon. After I moved back to Slovakia at the end of 2021,  I obtained an additional trainer license with the Slovak Taekwondo Association WT, a member of World Taekwondo and the European Taekwondo Union since 1994.

In 2019 I obtained a Level 2 Leading Health-Related Activity accredited certification awarded by Active IQ, delivered by Fit for Sport, which provided me with the skills, knowledge and competency to provide high-quality, inclusive activity sessions for children.

Since I am a registered CIMSPA member, I require 10 CPD points per membership subscription year. Five points of these must be CIMSPA endorsed CPD.

Qualifications and Continued Professional Development points endorsed courses (short: CPD) I completed can be found at Qualifications and CPD on my website, LinkedIn and my CIMSPA Membership Profile.

What is the CIMSPA

The CIMSPA (The Management Of Sport And Physical Activity) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that promotes excellence in sports performance management through its membership, certification and research programmes.

The CIMSPA is an accredited body that sets standards in sports management. These include professional qualifications, technology use, and general administration practices within sports organisations.

The CIMSPA was founded as the Association of Professional Sports Organisations in 1965. It rebranded as the CIMSPA in 2013 to reflect its broader scope.
Since then, it has expanded its membership to include sports professionals and people working in related industries like fitness or health services, academics from sporting disciplines, and administrators from non-sporting sectors.
These members all come together under one common goal – to promote, preserve and develop the highest quality and most sustainable practice in sports leadership, governance and management.
By giving out certifications, the CIMSPA ensures that only qualified individuals can demonstrate their expertise in these areas. This helps create trust among potential candidates’ peers, employers and the public.

CIMSPA was founded in 1921 as the Association of Senior College Teachers (ASCT) to promote educational standards in physical education. Since then, it has expanded to offer qualifications in sport leadership, coaching and training, exercise physiology and health promotion.

These are known as ‘professional’ versions of the ASCT qualification, which still go by the same name. They require a higher level degree or professional qualification but with no requirement for teaching experience.

In addition to these primary programme levels, there are two lower-level awards: ACAMS (Association for Coaching & Mental Skills) and CAPS (Certification in Applied Performance Sciences).

Sport and the CIMSPA

As mentioned before, the CIMSPA is an educational charity that offers certification after completing their studies. These certifications are in areas such as professional development, health management, fitness assessment or exercise science, to name a few.
These courses can be worked towards through either student membership or affiliate member status. Affiliate members do not have students, but they can still earn certification by putting in the effort to learn and apply what they’ve learned.
Both student and affiliate members are awarded a certificate appropriate for their course work which they may use to improve their careers or advance in theirs.
The CIMSPA also runs open days where anyone can come along and attend a seminar or two to see if it fits their personal goals. This allows you to find out whether this organization is worth joining!

Sport has a powerful influence on our lives and how we feel about ourselves so getting trained in its fundamentals and keeping up to date with changes is essential to enjoy and maintain the activity long term.

The CIMSPA Code

The CIMSPA has two main products to promote health and wellness via sports and active lifestyles. These are its code of ethics, qualification courses and exams.
Its ethical codes emphasize respect, honesty, integrity and compassion as critical values for those in the sports sector. Qualification courses are designed to develop fundamental skills needed to work with children, adults or groups engaged in organized sports activities.

These include developing goal-setting, leadership qualities, communication strategies and techniques, time management, etc. Several different qualifications are available from CIMSPA, including the Certified Health & Fitness Coach (CHFC), which can be obtained after completing an introductory course and passing an exam.
