The Route to Level 100/200 Certification

- Current U.S. Ski & Snowboard Coach Membership (required annually)
- Current Background Screening (required every two years)
- Current SafeSport or SafeSport Refresher (required annually)

2. PURCHASE THE COURSE
- Go to MY.USSKIANDSNOWBOARD.ORG and log in

3. BEGIN YOUR COURSEWORK
- Upload your First Aid/CPR and Heads Up Concussion Course Training Certificates directly into the course as part of Step 1 of the certification process. You will need to take the course on your own. U.S. Ski & Snowboard accepts any accredited online or in-person CPR training.*
* Coaches can complete all steps within the course without uploading First Aid/CPR and Heads Up Concussion Course Training certificates. However, the record will be needed to be considered fully certified.
- Also, as part of Step 1, register for an In-Person Coaching Assessment (in Cable, WI). Coaches need to complete and sign-up in the online system in order for the CXC Coach Developers to grade portfolios and submit evaluations of the in-person clinic.
- Complete the activities and your Portfolio
- Complete the online Course Content Assessment
- All on-line steps of the L100 or L200 course must be completed before the in-person practicum/evaluation.
- Complete your in-person practicum/evaluation with a CXC Coach Developer. Evaluations will be completed post-experience, and scores will be shared with the candidate and sent to USS&S' education department.
- Attend the CXC Coaches Conference L100/200 Lectures (in Cable).
Already Level 100/200 certified?
In order to keep coaching certification status current, a continuing education requirement must be fulfilled prior to the expiration date of a coaches certification. It is the coach's responsibility to maintain and submit their Continuing Education requirements to the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Sport Education office before their certification expires.
The countdown for continuing education credit submission begins on May 1st after the year that certification was accomplished. From this date, coaches have two years (until May 1st two years later) to complete their continuing education requirements.
