Certificated Training Centres
Elite-level development from Badminton Europe
Badminton Europe announced in 2009 two new initiatives to help increase the level of elite badminton players in Europe.
- To establish a network of Badminton Europe Certificated Training Centres.
- to award scholarships to players to enable them to stay at Certificated Training Centres. Scholarships are for players who have the potential to qualify for future World Championships and the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Badminton Europe Certificated Training Centres

The idea is to certificate those centres that have the required standard and to cooperate on offering training for talented players from other Member Associations by awarding scholarships.

Badminton Europe scholarships
Badminton Europe will award scholarships to players to enable them to train at one of the five Certificated Training Centres for a period of 2 – 12 weeks. Scholarships will be awarded on an open application scheme from 1 October 2009 to 31 December 2010.
The completed application for a scholarship to train at a Certificated Training Centre has to reach the BEC Office at least 4 weeks before the preferred start.
Information on how to apply for a scholarship has been sent directly to Member Associations.
