IPTC History
1.Humble Beginnings to Global Aspirations
The International Professional Training Certification (IPTC) traces its roots back to 1997, when a young Mehdi Salman Pour (known as Arash Salmanpour) established the Arash Skate School on Kish Island. This marked the first steps towards a future global organization. Driven by a passion for skating sports, Mr. Salman Pour embarked on extensive research, delving into the science of skating footwear, equipment, safety practices, and physical education.
2.Building a Foundation
Mehdi Salman Pour authored the book "How to Skate?" in his teenage years, studying the history of inline skating and developing his own training method specifically designed for beginners. This innovative method, which includes 16 separate techniques for coaches, facilitates inline skating, ice skating, and roller skating training for a wide age range from 2.5 to 75 years.
3.Early Achievements
By the age of 16, Mr. Salman Pour had authored and published his first book titled "How to Skate?" This publication further solidified his commitment to knowledge sharing. He then initiated Coaching and Assistant Coach courses on Kish Island, awarding certificates issued by the Arash Skate School and signed by himself (as Mehdi Salman Pour) to graduates.
4.Expanding Horizons
At 17, Mr. Salman Pour established the Pishro Skate Kish company, broadening his professional training programs to incorporate kindergartens and schools. His ambition for international impact led him to the United Arab Emirates, where he registered the Arash Skate Institute (ASI). This venture not only enriched his knowledge and experience within the Middle East but also served as a significant stepping stone towards his vision of establishing the International Sports University (TSMU).
5.Evolving the System
The Arash Skate Institute in Dubai witnessed further refinement of the training method. New levels were introduced, distinguished by colors (yellow, orange, blue, green, red, etc.). Additionally, Mr. Salman Pour expanded his offerings to encompass various sports and courses. He sought collaboration with highly skilled international Master Trainers, integrating their expertise into certification programs offered across institutes, schools, universities, camps, and sports clubs.
6.Birth of IPTC
Within the following year, Mr. Salman Pour's method underwent a significant transformation, evolving into a university-level system. This revamped program received the name IPTC - International Professional Training Certification. Drawing on his experience with high school and university training models, Mr. Salman Pour instituted a comprehensive structure. He categorized sports, courses, and skill levels, while simultaneously raising standards for international instructors and referees across various disciplines. Coaches of diverse nationalities received certifications under his guidance, deploying his training methods across official National Federations, academies, clubs, and companies worldwide.
7.Global Expansion
The Arash Skate Academy (ASA) emerged as a branch established by one of Mr. Salman Pour's students and assistants in Alexandria, Egypt. Recognizing the potential of a broader sports arena, he founded the Arash Sports Academy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This academy facilitated entry into the wider sports world while promoting IPTC seminars within East and Southeast Asian countries. Additionally, the Lizard Sports Academy (LSA) was established in Istanbul, Turkey, to bolster IPTC seminar and training camp reach across both Asian and European territories..
8.Birth of IPTC Takes Root
Mehdi Salman Pour, the founder of IPTC, solidified the organization's presence by registering a branch in Antalya, Turkey. Since 2016, countless coaches and referees from various sports have participated in IPTC's international certification seminars in Turkey, receiving official certifications under the guidance of expert instructors, doctors, and professors. The year 2020 marked a shift towards online learning, with the IPTC organization launching certification webinars in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, students from all corners of the globe enroll in IPTC's online courses across diverse sports disciplines, furthering their knowledge and acquiring licenses and certifications..
9.Partnerships and the Road Ahead
IPTC boasts a robust network of partners, collaborating with over 50 International Federations and Organizations, including the International Parkour Federation (IPF), the International Yoga Federation (IYF), the Federation of International Football Skating (FIFS), the Extreme Sports Federation, and more than 150 National Federations. This network empowers IPTC to organize international certification seminars, congresses, and assembly meetings for international and continental federations, while also promoting sports globally for its members.
10.The IPTC's Unwavering Mission
The organization remains dedicated to the academic advancement of sports across the globe. Establishing TSMU university headquarters in Dubai, UAE, Japan, America, and Europe remains a central goal, with a vision of replicating these university branches across all five continents within the next five years.
11.Collaboration with Various International Sports Federations
Today, the IPTC organization signs 10-year contracts with various sports federations to support them in achieving their goals. IPTC has issued over 10,000 coaching, refereeing, and management certificates for its partners, and this number continues to grow daily.
12.Headquarters Returned Home
After numerous meetings with the sports authorities of the UAE regarding hosting the Football Skating World Cup 2025 in Dubai, the IPTC organization returned to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates after many years. Dubai was a place where many of IPTC’s achievements had been realized in the past. Mehdi Salman Pour decided to bring the headquarters of the international IPTC organization to Dubai and continue its objectives from the UAE. However, the IPTC office in Turkey also continues its work strongly.
