After completion of a Coaches Education clinic: National and State tests must be taken and passed before certification is processed.  You will be notified of your certification only after we receive results of both tests, scoring 80% or higher, and the clinic fee is paid.  You have six (6) months from the last day of your clinic to complete the tests. Please be sure to put YOUR social security # on both answer sheets. This enables us to obtain your national score, as well as to be certain the information is correctly posted.
