Connecticut State law and the Connecticut Department of Education require all coaches holding a coaching permit to renew it every five years. To qualify for renewal, you must maintain current First Aid and CPR certifications, complete all mandated requirements, and earn 15 hours of ongoing education (CEUs) within that five-year period. The Connecticut Coaching Education Program has designed these modules specifically to help you fulfill your 15-hour requirement.
(Important Note: You should not repeat any module you have taken previously. The only exceptions are Modules 5, 15, and 51, which may be taken more than once to satisfy requirements)
