The list of workshops includes five focused on refereeing and judging after last year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro were plagued by scoring scandals.

All 36 referees and judges who officiated at Rio 2016 were suspended pending the results of the probe by an AIBA Special Investigation Committee (SIC) but are now being re-integrated on a "case-by-case basis".

The boxing competition at Rio 2016 received widespread criticism due to several decisions believed to be suspect.

The training and expansion of its global network of officials is a "priority" for AIBA, the organisation has claimed.

The first referee and judging inspector course was held earlier this month in Assisi in Italy, where 23 of AIBA’s most experienced instructors from 20 countries reviewed the changes and the new Instruction manual.

They also finalised the evaluation process that will be used in all competitions to "ensure even greater consistency in officiating".

Further courses for two-star officials are scheduled for this month in Kazakhstan and Poland, followed by a three-star event in Cuba in May.

A two-star workshop is then set to be held in Mongolia in June.

A total of 13 one and two-star coaching courses have now been confirmed between April and September, while Assisi was the location for the year’s first international technical officials (ITO) instructor workshop.

Courses for AIBA’s ITOs and supervisors are due to be staged before each of the 2017 Continental Qualification Tournaments.

"AIBA is instigating changes that will ensure the new Olympic cycle and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games provide the perfect stage for the world’s best boxers to perform on," AIBA President C K Wu said. 

"A key element of that is the ongoing education of all the stakeholders that comprise the AIBA Family, in order that everyone, including boxers, their coaches and the officials, are given the tools to perform at the very highest levels that such a tournament demands."
