Before 1993, the Ministry of Education had a special program for hiring coaches. If one passed the procedure, then one would gain a lifetime certification, and would be sent to various schools to promote basic training in a variety of sports. Unfortunately, says Render Lee, chief of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of the Ministry of Education, this program has been discontinued.
民國八十二年以前，教育部原本有一項甄試體育專任教練的方案，只要甄試合格，就受教育部聘任為終身職，分派到各級學校推廣各單項運動的基層訓練，但是體育司科長李仁德表示，可惜目前國家體育發展中程計畫已終止，無法再甄試專任教練。
