Accreditation for CAP Level I requires:

- Attendance at 3 CAP Level I Modules (included with course fee on Day 2)
- Attendance at a 4th additional Module - which often can be purchased & completed during the same course weekend or may be attended at other USAV-CAP approved Clinic Modules. Some USAV High Performance Coaching Clinic Sessions may meet this requirement.
- Submission of a signed Code of Ethics (included in course materials; will be collected at your course)
- Passing grade (90%) on written CAP Level I Test (information and login/password is emailed to all participants following the course weekend); DEADLINE for passing this test is 45 days following the course date. You will have the opportunity to re-test as many times as you want within the 45 day window. After passing the test, you will be notified and accredited ONLY when ALL other Level I requirements are completed.
- Passing a Background Screening administered through your local Region Office if a USAV member affiliated in any way with a Junior Club Program; Non-USAV members must pay an additional $25 fee for the processing of their Background Screen through USAV CAP.
- Submission of proof of having attended a "Foundations of Coaching" class. The Foundation training needs to be any ONE of the following: IMPACT, IMPACT Plus, IMPACT Webinar, ASEP, PACE, NYSCA, NFHS, FIVB, Canadian VB Assoc., or any other acceptable State or Local School District Coach training or certification. Most of the above issue certificates or letters for passing the course. A teaching degree in Physical Education or Coaching is also enough proof of training in a foundation in coaching course; simply submit a copy of your transcript and diploma, or a copy of your teaching license. Documentation of a Foundations course must be submitted for evaluation and approval.
