CEO & Founder’s Welcome

The National Education & Athletic Certification Association has been decades in the making. Educators give so much of themselves to the profession that it was absolutely crucial that one of our own created a way to continuously advance in our profession while maintaining as much work-life-balance as possible!

Welcome – This Is The Right Time

There has never been a time in human history that educators can do more AND get more out of the coaching profession than right now.

With the advent of all of the technology that we posses we can not only teach at a capacity that was previously unknown to us but we can also learn at the same rate. By utilizing group knowledge and resources as well as all of the technology possible, every teacher, administrator and coach can gain knowledge and advance their careers at record pace.

At the NEACA we are committed to standing along side you in the quest for excellence in the classroom, the locker room and in the administrative office’s. We have engaged a community of incredible educators to ensure that this will be an incredibly positive experience for you.

    I’m taking the coaching renewal for the state of Iowa. I have watched the first video and uploaded the answers to the first video, but it will not allow me to move on. Please advice. My email is nickylampe@yahoo.com

    Thank you!

      Nicole – we personally check every assignment and then assign points. At that point you can advance or you may have to resubmit your assignment. I have approved your assignments & you can move forward.

        I realized I already have the concussion section from another class. Is a refund possible for this section?

          That is not included in the cost as it is a free certification. We just link you over to the NFHS Website anyway.

      Jim,

      The state requires that you are CPR Certified, you have the Concussion Course completed, that you have a Fingerprint background check completed and you complete an approved 55 Contact Hour coaching certification course.

      Hello Andy,

      Your assignments must be manually approved before you can continue on in the course. You are now able to progress as the assignments looked great! I have included instructions on the top of the course as well.

      When your assignments are approved you will be moved to complete status and can immediately retrieve your certificates that you will upload to your folder at the BOEE.

      Thanks,

      After a review of your profile and assignments it looks like you submitted the Parent Meeting PPT in place of the Playtime Communication assignment. I am going to bet you have a resubmission email in your junk/spam from Jason Clark (assignments@educerts.org) explaining as much. I will email Jason to verify but that is what I see is the issue. He will not be available until after he is done coaching with wrestling practice at Grandview University. We will be in touch soon.

    I’m taking the Best Practices Mental Health course right now. I’m struggling to get to the upload portal. When I click on the assignment titles it does not take me to the portal. Sometimes I can mark complete and move on and other times I have gotten the portal. I have some assignments to upload can you send me a link or an email to send them to. I’m still progressing through the course but have assignments to upload. Thanks. pattycalderwood@gmail.com

    I am considering taking the Rush course. What is the fastest I could get through the course? I want to volunteer to help with wrestling, an unpaid position, the season has started, how fast could I get my coaching certification with the RUSH course? I am a high school teacher if that makes any difference.

      Matt – it all depends on the amount of time you have to put toward completing the course. It is the fastest way to compete the program in the state.
