The Bermuda National Athletic Association will be hosting two days of training for officials ahead of the Bermuda Invitational Permit Meet for IAAF Technical Officials Education and Certification System.

The training began yesterday and will continue today at the National Sports Centre.

It will be conducted by John Paul Clarke who is a NACAC Level 1 Instructor living and working in Atlanta but originally from the Cayman Islands. The officials taking this course will become Level 1 Certified Officials once they have passed the course.

As the Bermuda Invitational Permit Meet is an Elite international event, the BNAA has taken steps to ensure that all the officials are up to par to avoid any discrepancies in the officiating of the meet.

Clarke will be here during the meet as the technical official, directing the officials along with Dr Freddie Evans, a BNAA official.

The Bermuda Invitational Permit Meet will be held at the National Stadium on April 22.
