On October 1, NAAC launched the Education Certification program. Certification through this groundbreaking program demonstrates a working knowledge of NCAA legislation, along with an associated understanding of the on-campus application of NCAA bylaws and policies. Further, it will help your department satisfy the recommendation of the NCAA Enforcement Working Group "to require professional training and certification of all staff and coaches including continuing certification criteria."
Individuals who earn and maintain a NAAC Education Certification will demonstrate the knowledge and core competencies necessary to create and operate an ethical NCAA compliance program that advances integrity. The program offers interactive lessons, access to NCAA and NAAC resources, and best practices for monitoring, rules education and documentation standards.
If you are interested in learning more about the Education Certification, please take 10 minutes to watch the FREE webinar explaining the program - https://vimeo.com/77397538.
