Converting a Teaching License with a Coaching Endorsement to a Coaching Authorization

A teaching license with a Coaching Endorsement can easily be converted to a Coaching Authorization even if the teaching license is expired. This conversion is not a renewal. 

  1. Begin the application. The appropriate application for this type is called a First Coaching Authorization (in lieu of coaching on a teaching license). 
  2. Within the Salesforce system, upload the CPR card, concussion training certificate and a copy of your license or a printout of the screenshot of your license from our License Search.
