A black belt and a coaching qualification serve different purposes. Before applying to teach, check the requirements for the role and the steps needed to keep your coaching registration current.

What is NROC?

The National Registry of Coaches is Sport Singapore’s coaching recognition framework. Its official NROC guidance explains registration, membership status and applications. NROC membership involves qualifications, ongoing learning and a code of ethics.

Prepare your qualifications

  1. Check the current requirements with CoachSG and the Singapore Taekwondo Federation for your intended coaching pathway.
  2. Review your technical and coaching qualifications, first-aid certification and Safe Sport training.
  3. Use the official application or recognition process for your qualifications; do not assume an overseas certificate or an earlier course automatically meets the current requirements.
  4. Keep track of renewal dates, coaching practice and continuing education.

Applications are handled through SportSync. For ongoing learning, see CoachSG’s Continuing Coach Education guidance.

Compare Momentum’s coaching roles

Main coach

Our advertised requirements are 2nd Dan and NROC certification. Main coaches plan and lead lessons, guide assistants and volunteers, and prepare students for grading, fitness tests and competitions.

Assistant coach

Applicants must be 18 or above, hold 1st Dan and be proficient in all patterns. Assistants support lessons and help with planning and administration.

Volunteer

The volunteer role is for applicants aged 14 or above with 1st Poom or Dan. It is a way to help students while practising communication and leadership.

Do I need a sports degree?

Momentum’s advertised role requirements focus on belt rank and coaching qualifications. For NROC, use the official pathway and recognition guidance to check how your education and experience apply.

What if I trained overseas?

Ask CoachSG about recognition of your qualifications and ask the employer what documents are needed for the role. Qualification recognition and eligibility to work are separate matters; confirm both before accepting an assignment.
