Additionally, the SafeSport Trained Core and Refresher courses as well as courses on mandatory reporting and courses for adult athletes will be updated on Wednesday, October 19th. The learning platform will be offline on Wednesday, October 19th. Individuals “in progress” should complete their course by Tuesday, October 18th so their progress isn’t lost in the update.
