Because WSV combines direct experience in elite soccer, licensed coaching, private training, player development, sports business, and youth-soccer market infrastructure.
Every deliverable and the capstone are reviewed by a trained, experienced private trainer who is also a former player, a parent, and a career educator or executive. That combination — craft experience, the parent perspective, and a professional standards background — is what makes the credential meaningful.
No. It is built for both full-time and part-time private trainers.
A certification credential, digital badge, and access to tools and templates tied to the program.

CPSC and CSTO are self-paced. You have 90 days from enrollment to submit your deliverables and complete the capstone review. Most candidates invest 30–40 hours across the window; the pacing is up to you. If you need a short extension, contact the certification team before your window closes.
Yes. Every CPSC candidate must complete a criminal background check through an approved vendor (Sterling or Checkr) as a condition of certification. Scope covers multi-jurisdiction criminal records, the national sex-offender registry, and identity verification. Disqualifying results — particularly any offense involving a minor — prevent certification or result in revocation. A refreshed check is required every three years at renewal. Full policy is on the Code of Conduct. This does not replace your own diligence as a parent: please also verify credentials on our /verify registry and ask the coach for proof of insurance and references.
