With apologies as I am just beginning to be involved with my association.
My understanding of the certification process...from reading here and on the actual sites... is that they are valid for three years.
So I understand this correctly, if a coach was level 3 certified and his Season of Certification was 03-04 then his last valid year of certification would be the entire 06-07 season with his cert expiring on the 31 of December in 2007. Or, do you count the certification year as year one and in this case it would expire on December 31st of 2006
03-04 is season one
04-05 is season two
05-06 is season three
Am I correct on this? I thank in advance the much more knowledgeable than I!
