If your name is on this list, then you are certified for the 2026-27 school year. If your name is no longer listed, then you will need to recertify.
All coaches/evaluators will need to re-certify in SPS this year.
This list is purged each June, and expiring numbers are removed.
- Training sessions are offered at clinics and at the coach conference each year for free.
- The deadline to complete SPS certification is December 15th of each season, the deadline to compelte QR certification is January 6 of each season.
- If you do not complete certification by the deadline and still need to be certified, KAAC will ask a trainer if they are willing to do a session. If no one can conduct a session, then you will not be certified. If a trainer is able to offer a session, then the cost will be $50 per person.
Who Needs to Get Certified and How Often?
Quick Recall and Strategic Problem Solving Coaches
Each Quick Recall and SPS team must have a certified coach prior to District Governor's Cup. If you don't field a Quick Recall or Strategic Problem Solving team, you do not have to be certified as a coach.
Head Quick Recall coaches must be certified either at the KAAC Conference or at a KAAC certification clinic. They may not be certified as a coach by passing the online quiz.
No specific training is required to enter students in Content Assessment.
Quick Recall, Strategic Problem Solving, and Written Composition Officials
In order to meet your school’s participation requirements for Governor’s Cup, Strategic Problem Solving, and other KAAC competitions, KAAC requires each school to supply competition officials for specific events in which a school registers. For specific participation requirements for each KAAC competition, refer to that competition’s main page.
Quick Recall officials, Strategic Problem Solving evaluators, and Written Composition Readers must be certified.
How to Get Certified
KAAC provides training opportunities at the annual Coach Conference and local sessions through our trainers for Governor’s Cup certifications. Online advanced registration is required for all KAAC training. There are multiple ways you can get certified:
