To complete a course, click the Start Course button.
You will be redirected to SafeSportTrained.org, which is the U.S. Center for SafeSport's online platform (referred to as "Absorb"). The unique U.S. Soccer access key is embedded in the URL, so it's important that you access SafeSportTrained.org via this Start Course button.

Once you log in, please complete the next available SafeSport Trained Core or Refresher course in the annual cycle listed below. Only one course needs to be completed each year, and please note that the SafeSport for Youth Players course does not satisfy this requirement.

- SafeSport Refresher 3 (yr 4)
- SafeSport Trained - U.S. Soccer Federation (yr 5) - this is also referred to as "Core" training
- SafeSport Refresher 1 (yr 6)
- ... and so on
Those courses are available via either the My Courses or Catalog menu section.
Once finished, save your course completion certificate, which is accessible via the Transcripts menu section of SafeSportTrained.org.
If you have technological or account access issues related to the SafeSportTrained.org platform, please submit a ticket to the U.S. Center for SafeSport directly.
