USA Football does not have a mandate on how long a certification can be accepted by your league, but we suggest one year. We provide the tools for leagues and teams to run their organizations. It is up to the leagues to decide how long their officials' certifications are valid.

*Please note: to be covered under USA Football's General Liability insurance policy, you must have successfully completed a USA Football certification course within the past 12 months and have an active Officials Membership or Coach Membership.
