The site coordinator may attend the course at no charge, but they will not count as a candidate to reach the minimum number of candidates to hold the course. In order to receive the license, they must register and complete all assignments in the Learning Center.

Assign the Educator(s).
Post the course on MSYSA social media, the Learning Center (LC), and promote the course. If the course enrollment is not met one week prior to start date of the course, the course may be cancelled or rescheduled.
Certification and/or licenses will be given only to those student coaches who attend the entire course and successfully complete the course requirements. Licenses will be made accessible to the candidates through the LC within three weeks after the course is finished.
