- The Paralympic Track & Field Certification is being offered in partnership with USA Paralympics for the first time in 2013. This certification is considered an add-on to the standard Track & Field certification and is open to anyone who is already certified in other track or field disciplines at the Association level. Those wishing to add this certification should go through the training PDF below and when ready take the online test linked below. Once you have completed the test, USA Paralympics will verify your USATF certification level and status and then provide the results of the tests to the NOC for processing. Upon successful completion of the test, and if you meet the prerequisites, a Grade 1 Paralympic Track & Field certification will be added to your record and certification card. At this time Grade 1 is the only certification level offered and no upgrades are currently available. Please note that the online test is the only way this certification is available and the certification will not be added without successful completion of the test. If you take the test and do not pass, USA Paralympics will contact you about an offline make-up test.
