NASPA certifies directors as being qualified to direct a sanctioned club or tournament. The NSA has stopped doing so. Our Club Committee and Tournament Committee have reviewed director certification procedures and fees, and the new system will be ready very soon.

The new tests can be taken in two ways when they are ready. Watch for an announcement that the tests are ready:

*Online: The test will be paid for, taken, and graded online. There will be a 90-day window of time during which if a person does not score a passing grade the first time, there will be opportunity for two more tries. If a passing grade has not been accomplished within the 90-day period, there will be a waiting period before paying again and trying again. Whenever a passing grade has been accomplished, the prospective director will move to the next step. The online test will cost $25 initially.

*By mail: The test can be ordered by ordering it from Mary Rhoades, PO Box 211993, Bedford, TX 76095. It can be taken at your leisure, returned to Mary for grading and upon a passing grade, the prospective director will move to the next step. The mail test will cost $35, a slightly higher fee to pay for manual processing.

Upon passing the test, applicants will earn an apprentice director certification and a director mentor will be assigned. The mentor director will be available, either by phone or in person, to help with directing duties and when the mentor director notifies Mary that the apprentice is ready to become a full director, the apprentice will be certified as such.

We also provide resources to directors to help them do their job. If you need something that isn't listed below, please let us know and we'll add it.
