FIDE Trainers

Besides awarding FIDE Master, International Master and Grandmaster titles, the World Chess Federation (FIDE – Federation Internationale des Echecs) also awards titles called FIDE Senior Trainer (FST), FIDE Trainer (FT), FIDE Instructor (FI), National Instructor (NI), and Developmental Instructor. They are essentially people certified by the federation to teach and train chess players.

In 2009, a FIDE Trainers’ Commission (TRG) succeeded the FIDE Trainers’ Committee (formed in 1998) to bring a higher level of worldwide promotion and the certification of chess trainers for the education of chess players. It was an attempt to license trainers similar to trainers licensed by the International Olympic Committee. The main idea was to boost the importance of chess trainers in the world.
