Certified Chess Coach Program update: August 26, 2025
The updated Certified Chess Coach Program is still “Under Construction.” As such, the following actions are being taken until more details can be announced about program changes.
- Any currently certified coaches who were scheduled to expire since 2020 and have already been extended during previous pandemic-related announcements will be further extended through 12/31/2026.
- Anyone who has submitted an application during the period of program dormancy (2020-2025) has now had that application either approved or denied and, if approved, can be found on the list below.
- An updated page listing the current certified Chess Coaches is below.
- While we are not accepting applications until the new program goes live, please contact the Membership department if you have extenuating circumstances that require certification.
