How the Review Process Works

We ensure your internal certification program is thorough and high quality while keeping the process as straightforward as possible:

1. Submit Your Materials – Share all the learning and presentation materials your program uses for learners and facilitators.
2. Committee Review – Our expert committee will review the materials, taking time to understand your program and identify any questions.
3. Facilitator Interview – A facilitator or tutor from your organization will meet with the committee to answer questions, clarify details, and discuss any suggested updates.
4. Enhancements Period – You’ll have 3 months to address the committee’s recommendations, making updates or adjustments needed to meet approval standards.
5. Final Review –  The committee will review your revised materials to ensure all criteria are met.
6. Optional Internal Audit – If necessary, we may conduct an internal audit, including interviewing a participant from your program to confirm key elements of its delivery.
7. Renewal Process – USPK-Affiliated parkour coaching certifications must be renewed every 3 years, from time of approval.

Timeline for Approval Process

The timeline takes a total of six months. After the committee’s initial review, you’ll have 3 months to submit changes. Once changes are submitted, the committee will have an additional 3 months to finalize the review.

If approval isn’t granted within this timeline, the applicant must resubmit the program and repay the associated fees.
