If your organization plans to follow our recommended four-year schedule, you must complete one course each year. If you wait more than 12 months between courses, you will lose your eligibility to take the next course in the sequence and will need to start over. For example, if you have completed the SafeSport Trained Core course, you must take Refresher 1 the following year. If you do not complete it within 12 months, you will have to retake the SafeSport Trained Core course and will not be eligible for Refresher 1.
