Three Foundational Online Courses Now Available

1 Jan 2026Reuben Salimu

National Head Coach Reuben Salimu highlights three immediately available online courses for parents, school supervisors, and administrators to support chess programme implementation.

Today, I want to highlight three foundational online courses that are immediately available. These can be completed anytime, anywhere, by anyone, and are especially valuable for schools: 1. Chess Parent's Survival Guide Designed for new and existing parents to help them support and raise children involved in chess—academically, emotionally, and competitively. 2. School Chess Supervisor Guide Intended for teachers and school staff who oversee chess programs. This course enables effective supervision and organisation even without prior chess knowledge. 3. School Chess Administrator Guide Built for principals, executives, and administrative leadership looking to implement chess strategically within their school structures and programmes. All three courses are accessible via the Courses section of this platform. These resources remove friction, lower entry barriers, and accelerate implementation—particularly in school environments. If you have questions or require clarity on how to integrate these into your provincial or district rollout, please message me directly. Regards, Reuben Salimu National Head Coach – Chess South Africa
