Malawi’s National Council of Sports and South Africa’s University of Pretoria said Friday that they had introduced a management course to equip administrators with skills of running sports as a business.
NCS executive secretary George Jana said, as a starting point, the two organisations had introduced a certificate course to keep in tune with the movement of sports into the professional and business arena.
"Sports are fast becoming a big business and managers in the field have to be prepared to take the lead in this regard," Jana said.
He added that the certificate programme was deliberately tailored to Malawi’s needs, addressing the specifics of aspiring and existing sports managers here.
The programme is based on research and practical experience developed by the department of Bio-Kinetics, Sport and Leisure Sciences and the Centre for Leisure Studies at the University of Pretoria, he said.
The three-month course will start from September and end in November, with decentralised distance learning and on-site learning.
