What Will You Learn?
The course connects each practical step with the reason behind it: inspecting the racquet, choosing a suitable string and reference tension, mounting the frame safely, installing the strings and checking the finished work. The aim is to build a repeatable service process rather than memorise a pattern without understanding the decisions involved.
Learning Objectives
- Identify important badminton racquet, grommet and string characteristics
- Set up and operate a stringing machine safely
- Relate string and reference tension choices to player needs
- Practise consistent mounting, weaving, pulling and knot technique
- Complete final inspection and record the finished service
Programme Structure
These eight modules describe the learning sequence, not a fixed number of teaching days. Check the selected intake for its duration, delivery format, practical sessions and equipment arrangements before booking travel or taking time away from work.
- Module 1: Racquet construction, frames, grommets and string types
- Module 2: Stringing machine setup and calibration awareness
- Module 3: Tension principles and stringbed response

Who Can Apply?
This foundation course is intended for beginners, badminton enthusiasts, shop staff and developing stringers. Use your application to explain your current experience, learning goals and equipment access so BSW can review which course or assessment route is appropriate.
Course Attendance and Certification
Attending the course does not automatically award a BSW certification. Assessment can include theory checks, safe working habits and practical racquet stringing. Candidates must meet the requirements and pass the assessments for their selected certification pathway.
Read BSW’s certification integrity information before applying.
Practise the Decisions, Not Just the Pattern
Consider a player who asks for the same tension as a professional. A useful starting point is a conversation: which racquet and string are they using, what did they like about their previous setup, and what do they want to change? Check the instructions for that racquet model before agreeing on the work. A familiar number is not a substitute for understanding the player and the equipment.
During your practice, keep a short service record: racquet model, string model and gauge, agreed machine tension setting and unit, date, and relevant observations. After completing the racquet, compare the finished work with that record and note what needs attention next time. This turns each practice racquet into something you can review, rather than a job you simply finish and forget.
Prepare for Your Course Enquiry
Tell BSW whether you are learning for your own racquets, developing a shop service, or preparing for a certification assessment. Include your current experience and whether you have access to a stringing machine. You do not need to present yourself as an experienced stringer to ask about a foundation course.
For an in-person intake, confirm the teaching days, full venue address, equipment arrangements, fees and assessment format before booking transport or accommodation. The eight learning modules describe the curriculum; they do not mean eight days. Keep the course confirmation with your travel and work arrangements so you know exactly which intake you are attending.
Test Your Stringing Knowledge
Choose A, B or C before opening each answer. Compare your choice with the explanation, then close it to try again. You can count one point for each correct answer out of five. This is a learning self-check, not a certification assessment.
1. A player asks for the tension used by a professional. What should you do first?
- A. Copy the number without discussion.
- B. Ask about the player’s current setup and goal, then check the racquet’s instructions.
- C. Choose the highest setting on the machine.
Show answer 1 and explanation
Answer B: Ask about the player’s current setup and goal, then check the racquet’s instructions.
A useful recommendation begins with the player and the actual racquet. A professional’s setting does not establish a suitable or permitted setup for another person.
2. The course overview lists eight modules. What does that tell you?
- A. The learning sequence.
- B. A guaranteed eight-day timetable.
- C. The number of attempts allowed in the examination.
Show answer 2 and explanation
Answer A: The learning sequence.
Modules organise the curriculum. Duration, attendance and assessment arrangements come from the selected intake, not from the number of headings.
3. Which note is most useful when reviewing a practice racquet?
- A. Only the colour of the grip.
- B. Only how quickly you finished.
- C. The racquet, string, machine setting and unit, date, and relevant observations.
Show answer 3 and explanation
Answer C: The racquet, string, machine setting and unit, date, and relevant observations.
A service record gives you a clear reference for reviewing your work and discussing the next setup. Speed alone does not document the service.
4. You do not own a stringing machine. What is the sensible next step before buying one?
- A. Assume that every course has identical equipment arrangements.
- B. Ask about the equipment and practice requirements of the intake you are considering.
- C. Buy whichever machine appears in a promotional image.
Show answer 4 and explanation
Answer B: Ask about the equipment and practice requirements of the intake you are considering.
Check the actual learning arrangement first. A picture does not establish what equipment is provided or what you need for practice.
5. When is BSW certification awarded?
- A. After the applicable requirements and assessment have been passed.
- B. As soon as the application is submitted.
- C. After answering this website quiz.
Show answer 5 and explanation
Answer A: After the applicable requirements and assessment have been passed.
This is a learning self-check, not a certification examination. A course application or quiz score does not award a BSW credential.
Not sure about one of these topics? Ask BSW about a suitable course and include the topic you want to practise. You do not need a particular self-check score to send an enquiry.
Course Questions
Can I apply without stringing experience?
Yes. This foundation course is intended for beginners as well as developing stringers and shop staff. Describe your starting point and learning goal in the application so BSW can review the appropriate route. Prior experience and assessment requirements are not necessarily the same for every certification level.
How long is the course, and what does it cost?
Use the current schedule and the information for your chosen intake. The module list is a learning sequence, not a fixed duration. Ask BSW to confirm the total fee and what is included, including equipment, materials and any assessment charges, before committing.
Do I need to buy a stringing machine before applying?
You can enquire before buying a machine. Tell BSW whether you already have access to one, then confirm what the selected course provides and what you need for practice. Do not assume that the same equipment arrangements apply to every delivery format.
Where will the practical sessions take place?
Use the venue information confirmed for your particular intake. This course overview is not a booking confirmation or a list of permanent training centres. Obtain the full address and attendance arrangements before making travel plans.
Which teaching language should I request?
State your preferred language in the application and ask BSW to confirm teaching and assessment arrangements. The availability of a translated website page does not, by itself, confirm that an instructor or examination is available in that language for every intake.
Does attending the course automatically make me certified?
No. Learning and certification assessment are separate parts of the pathway. Attending sessions or completing an informal knowledge quiz does not award a credential. Candidates must meet the applicable requirements and pass the assessment for the certification they are seeking.
What should I do when the listed dates are full?
Use the course application to ask about a suitable intake and describe your availability. A full listing does not confirm that another place is available. Wait for BSW to confirm the proposed arrangements before treating an enquiry as a booking.
Check Course Dates and Apply
The schedule shows advertised course dates and availability. When the listed dates are full or unsuitable, use the course application to ask about a suitable intake. BSW must confirm availability, fees, delivery format, practical venue and equipment arrangements before you make plans. An application is an enquiry, not a reserved place or an awarded certificate.
