<h2>What is the International Standard for Education?</h2>
<p>The International Standard for Education (ISE) is one of the <strong>mandatory International Standards</strong> of the global anti-doping system. The Standards set out the technical detail of implementing the Code, and compliance with them is mandatory for all Signatories to the Code. This Standard sets out Signatories' obligations in the field of <strong>education and prevention</strong>: education planning, priority audiences and the measurement of effectiveness.</p>

<h2>About the January 2027 edition<span class="reg-tag">Changes from 2021</span></h2>
<h3>Key changes from the previous edition</h3>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Busan Conference revision</b>The first revision of this Standard was adopted at the <strong>Sixth World Conference on Doping in Sport in Busan</strong> on 5 December 2025.</li>
<li><b class="t">Alignment with the 2027 Code</b>It takes effect alongside the <strong>2027 edition of the Code</strong>, in which the place of education within the global programme has been markedly strengthened.</li>
<li><b class="t">Drafted in consultation with stakeholders</b>The text was prepared in consultation with <strong>Signatories, public authorities, athletes and other stakeholders</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For national anti-doping organisations and national federations, this document is binding: the absence of a compliant education programme can itself give rise to a compliance case. The text makes clear that <strong>education is a right of the athlete</strong>, not merely a duty of the organisation.</p><p>Each case is governed by the edition of this Standard that was in force at the time of the relevant event; for that reason, earlier editions remain available on this page. The official text is published in English and French, and in the event of a divergence <strong>the English text prevails</strong>.</p>

2027 International Standard for Education (ISE) - In Force on 1 January 2027

<p class="reg-lead">The International Handball Federation's Coaching Education Regulations, in force from 12 August 2023.</p>
<table class="reg-facts">
<tr><td>In force</td><td><b>12 August 2023</b> — adopted by the IHF Council</td></tr>
<tr><td>Structure</td><td>Chapter XXVII of the International Handball Federation's body of regulations</td></tr>
<tr><td>Status</td><td><strong>Current edition</strong> — four coaching licence levels</td></tr>

<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>What these regulations determine</h2>
<p>The regulations of the International Handball Federation (IHF) form a set of numbered chapters headed by the Statutes, each chapter governing one field. This document is <strong>Chapter XXVII</strong> of that set.</p><p>The structure of the International Handball Federation's coaching education: <strong>four main levels</strong>, with the hours and years required for each level, the requirements for lecturers, the examinations, the issuing of licences and — a point of importance for national federations — <strong>IHF approval of national and continental education structures</strong>.</p>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec hi">
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Four licence levels</b>The education structure has four levels, identified in the financial regulations by the markers <strong>D, C, B and A</strong>, with the required hours and years set for each level.</li>
<li><b class="t">Online education system</b>The International Handball Federation has launched its own online education platform in order to deliver up-to-date content on a regular basis to its target groups — referees, coaches, players, teachers and delegates — and to support completion of the education cycle.</li>
<li><b class="t">Reason for the revision</b>The document states that the structure was revised in order to keep pace with developments in information technology and with the <strong>new trends in handball arising from the application of the new rules of the game</strong>.</li>
<li><b class="t">Priority for non-European countries</b>Among the structure's stated objectives are supporting and developing education structures <strong>particularly in non-European countries</strong> and strengthening the training of talent at youth and junior levels.</li>
<li><b class="t">Approval of national structures</b>Article 9 determines the mechanism for IHF approval of national and continental education structures; it is this article that gives international standing to a licence issued at national level.</li>
<li><b class="t">Lecturers' allowances</b>The financial regulations, in the edition of 6 May 2026, have added separate tables for the allowances of lecturers and experts for each licence level, broken down by online, on-site and travel days.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For national federations, Article 9 is decisive: without approval of the national education structure, a coaching licence issued in that country is not recognised as equivalent at international level.</p>
