Eight new instructors earn FIM Certification in Mies

On 10 February 2025, eight new instructors successfully completed the FIM Instructor Certificate programme at the FIM Headquarters in Mies, Switzerland. This milestone strengthens the FIM’s growing pool of skilled instructors, whose roles are crucial to the organisation’s mission.
 
At the same time, a new Module one session took place with thirteen instructors in attendance, marking the beginning of their certification journey. The participants benefited from insightful sessions led by John Zimmer,who guided them through Module one, and Tobias Rodrigues, who shared his expertise during Module two.
 
This achievement follows another milestone in Lyon, France, where in February 2024, fourteen instructors completed the final module of the FIM Instructor Certificate programme. After successfully finishing their training, they were awarded their certificates at the end of the event.
 
The certificates were presented by FIM Deputy CEO and Operations Director, Mr. Damiano Zamana, in recognition of their hard work and dedication.
 
The FIM Instructor Certification process, launched in 2022, is a comprehensive three-year programme designed to sharpen the skills of instructors.
 
Its key objectives include:
· Providing tools to effectively present and prepare engaging materials.
· Encouraging the sharing of experiences across FIM Commissions on running successful seminars.
· Addressing modern challenges, such as recruiting and retaining officials, and attracting a new generation of officials through dynamic, technology-driven seminars.
 
Additionally, a third group of eleven instructors who began their certification in 2024 participated in an online Inter-Module Workshop in January, keeping them on track for completion.
 
With the continued success of the FIM Instructor Certificate programme, the FIM remains committed to developing skilled and dynamic instructors who will play a key role in shaping the future of its officials and seminars
