WHY WE PUBLISH THIS
Course completion is one part of professional readiness. TEAMGOLDUSA also uses current role assignments, athlete-protection requirements and internal operational permissions to determine what a coach may access or do. Older renewed credentials are archived from this current profile rather than displayed as if they are still the governing certificate.
