Athlete Representative Educational Seminars and Exams
SEMINARS
The USATF Athlete Representative educational seminars are generally provided twice each year: once at the USATF Annual Meeting and once at the U.S. Outdoor Track & Field Championships (or Olympic Track and Field Team Trials during Olympic years).
The USATF Athlete Representative educational seminars usually last for approximately 4 hours and provide the latest information available from USATF’s High Performance department, USADA, IAAF, AAM, and others.
The USATF Athlete Representative exam preparation course is a mandatory three (3) hour course that offers additional study preparation for individuals who have applied and are currently registered to take the USATF Athlete Representative Exam.
NOTE: You must have an application on file or already be a USATF-authorized Athlete Representative in order to attend the educational seminars. No preregistration is necessary.

EXAM INFORMATION
IAAF EXAM
The IAAF is responsible for setting all dates associated with the IAAF Athlete Representative Exam. The IAAF has not yet announced when this exam will be available, but it will likely take place online in early 2019.
USATF Exam
The examination will cover the Athlete – Agent Relationship, USATF Regulation 25, Elite Athlete Support Programs, Anti-Doping, and other issues relevant to athlete representation. It is a 50-question multiple-choice examination, has a time limit of two (2) hours and participants must score an 80 percent or higher to pass the exam. The exam is open book and prepared notes may be used while taking the exam.
