Measurer Course

Dear Livinus,

You can learn how to do it by downloading a book of instruction.

The AIMS book may be found at: AIMS Site

US information may be found at:US Information

I do not know how the Nigerian Athletics Federation works with regard to your problem, but learning how to do the job is not hard if you study.

It will be up to you to find the people in Nigeria who will be able to give you the credential you seek.

Livinus,

There is also an online course at http://coursemeasurement.org.uk/lessons/index.htm

After several pages explaining basic things it has a test to see if you can cope with the necessary calculations.

If you pass the test you will be invited to do a ten lesson theory course, designed for UK measurers, but it could be used by trainees anywhere.

After doing the theory you need to do a practical test to check your riding skill and measure a real course alongside an experienced measurer. If you had a number of people who had done the theory and wanted to become measurers recognised by the IAAF you could get an IAAF course measurement administrator to organise a practical seminar in Nigeria, or if you ever visit England, I would be happy to ride with you to check your practical skills.

Mike, I'm most delighted with your reply. I promise to get back you after visiting the suggested link. Thanks.

Dear Pete,
Thanks for your support. The no support is coming from anywhere. I'm doing this for the love I have for road race and athletics in general.
I will check out the link mentioned. I hope to get IAAF certification some day. Regard.
