You will also notice a status in your individual membership dashboard for Safe Sport training and background screen. Please note that the background screen status only applies to a select group of members such as National Teams, coaches/instructors, junior development leaders, show ski directors and assistant directors, select officials and board members.
The three statuses for Safe Sport training are Expired, Not Started or In Progress. Click here to complete Safe Sport training for the first time or click here take the annual refresher course.
For background screens, the statuses are either Completed or Pending. If your membership activity does not require a background screen or you have not yet completed the screen, your status will show as Pending.
