CERTIFICATION FAQs
The HSSCC will cost $199. Those taking the HSSCC will need to be NHSSCA Professional Members. It will be unveiled at NATCON.
The HSSCC will be available starting June 22nd at the NHSSCA National Conference.
No need to travel. The entire HSSCC is online and on-demand from the convenience of r desktop, tablet or mobile device.
The HSSCC contains 12 Units Lessons and a total of 43 Chapters. Each chapter contains either a multi-choice quiz, a case study essay or both. These quizzes and case studies will account accumulatively as the ‘final examination’ for the HSSCC.
The HSSCC will be introduced at NATCON, but the only requirement for taking the test is being an NHSSCA Professional Member.
Completion of the HSSCC currently will not result in graduate credit. We are working on acquiring CEUs and hope to have them available at the time of the unveiling at NatCon.
The initial HSSCC is the first level of certification the NHSSCA will offer. As we grow as an organization, we will build our certification to include multiple levels.
To proceed to the next level, members will need to be level 1 certified.
The roles of HS S&C coaches across the country are extremely varied when you look at Prep Schools, Private Schools, Public Schools, and Private Training Facilities. For example, there are Prep/Private schools that have full-time S&C coaches that do not need teacher certifications. There are Private Facility coaches who are certified teachers. We want to be an inclusive organization that supports any coach that has an impact on high school athletes. Any NHSSCA professional member can become HSSCC.
