Ways to obtain certification for this season:
It is recommended you chose one of the first two options since proposals are already in the works to increase certification levels for the 2008-09 season. 1) Attend a NCEP copper or bronze clinic. Clinics are being scheduled throughout the State (see list below). Clinic fees start at $30. You must attend the clinic and pass the test to gain copper or bronze certification. 2) Purchase "COACHING YOUTH WRESTLING ONLINE COURSE - BOOK OR BOOK/VIDEO ($40) from www.asep.com, then take the online test. You must pass the test to obtain NCEP copper certification. 3) Purchase "COACHING YOUTH WRESTLING ONLINE COURSE - PDF ($19.95) from www.asep.com, then take the online test. You must pass the test to obtain ASEP certification. Technically, the above option (#3) satisfies the new IKWF by-law. However, as stated above, you should chose option #1 or #2. |
