TAFISA Certified Leadership Courses in Sport for All were developed to train and qualify national Sport for All leaders around the globe.  Since its inception in 2007, TAFISA CLCs have been successfully held in Iran, Nigeria, Tanzania, China, Australia and Malaysia, catering for the Middle East, West and East Africa, Central Asia, Oceania and South East Asia.  The next CLCs will be held in Turkey and Argentina, for the regions of Europe and Latin America.

In 2010, the International Olympic Committee signed a Memorandum of Understanding with TAFISA to further develop the CLC program.  This has seen an increase in participation by National Olympic Committee members in each region.  With the cooperation of the IOC, TAFISA now aims to increase the number of courses to five per year from 2011, one in each of Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and an additional course where demand is strongest.  Depending on demand by participants and TAIFSA members, TAFISA also envisages the development of national level courses tailored specifically to the needs of the host country.  There has already been some interest in the development of these courses.
