    Hello;

    I have so many questions, I’m in Miami right now, I think I have a D license but I haven’t coached in about 3 years, how do I check if is still valid?

    I’m trying to get into coaching but I don’t even know where to start, I worked in Marketing but I hated my job. Thanks

    Check on USSF licenses by signing into the "digital coaching center" at ussoccer.com. It is under "coaching education." A D license doesn't expire.

    Ds have been administered on the state level so you might want to check with the state association where you obtained the license if it's not listed in the DCC.
     
    rca2 repped this.

    I thought you were a reporter.

    Licenses never expire. The person with it may become stale, but the license is always valid.

    for the national ones, don't you need to complete a certain number of CEUs annually to keep your A or B license valid?

    Not sure about the B, but yes you are correct about the old A. I don't recall any of the B guys that I know having to go for re-education.

    Just the old A. When USSF redid the A course they suspended the annual Continuing Education requirement. I haven't heard anything about it being reinstated. Honestly, I suspect it was mostly justification to attend the annual conference to give employers.
