Education Professional Standard / World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). - Montreal : WADA, 2022
On 6 June 2022 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published a first set of Professional Standards aimed at improving the level of knowledge, skills and competencies of the global anti-doping workforce. These Standards were endorsed by WADA’s Education Committee and presented to the Agency’s Executive Committee in May 2022 for review and consideration.
Developed as part of WADA’s Global Learning and Development Framework (GLDF), the initial set of Professional Standards is targeted at anti-doping practitioners in six roles:
- Communications and Media Relations;
- Education;
- Hearing Panels;
- Intelligence and Investigations;
- Privacy and Data Protection; and
- Results Management.
The Professional Standards -- available in English, French and Spanish -- were created in collaboration with stakeholders and describe: the main functions for a given anti-doping role; the expected standard of competence using performance criteria; and, the knowledge and skills required to perform the role.
