      How to Complete Your SafeSport Training and Submit for Approval in Ankored

      SafeSport Certificate Requirement Summary

      This is an external training requirement that is not directly integrated with Ankored.

      To complete this requirement, you must:

      1. Navigate to an external website (SafeSport training site)
      2. Sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one
      3. Complete the training course on their platform

      5. Upload the certificate to Ankored for administrative review and approval

      This process requires you to work outside of Ankored's platform to obtain the necessary certification, then return to Ankored to submit proof of completion. The certificate will then be reviewed by your organization's administrators before your requirement status is updated to complete.
