15. Certifying courses outside of the USA – NACAC Certification Program. Legally we can only issue a USATF Certificate for courses within the USA. Any other courses must be Certified through the IAAF or by that country's certification program. Obviously many countries do not have their own program especially our neighbors in the Caribbean. The IAAF divides the world up into several regions. We belong to the NACAC region (North American - Central America - & the Caribbean). We have already received approval from the head of NACAC to start a program just for this region. It will follow the same protocols and procedures of the RRTC but the Certificate will be issued with the NACAC logo.
