A national poomsae referee qualification course was held by Australian Taekwondo.

The event was hosted by Australian Taekwondo New South Wales and attended by more than 20 people.

National Poomsae Officiating Committee members Master Yukyung Song and Master Kay Yang conducted the course.

They are both qualified national poomsae referee presenters.

Australian Taekwondo said an "enthusiastic" group had taken part in the course.

"Our appreciation to those referees and new referees who gave up their time to participate," the governing body said. 

"We look forward to seeing them in action in the near future."
