Applying for a DOSB instructor licence C for popular sports
Exercise instructors are all-round talents in sports clubs. They plan and realise a wide variety of exercise programmes. Have you already completed a degree in sports science and would like to work as an exercise instructor in (your) club? Then you can start right away!
A degree in sports science (at least a bachelor's degree) is recognised free of charge for the issue of a DOSB Übungsleiter:in C Breitensport licence!
The ÜL-C licence for popular sports is issued for 2 years after application. During this time, at least 15 learning units must be collected through further education/events so that the licence can then be extended by 4 years without transition.
