The Connecticut Ed 185 form is a crucial document for individuals seeking to obtain or renew a five-year renewable coaching permit. This form, issued by the Connecticut State Department of Education, outlines the necessary steps and requirements for applicants. It begins with gathering personal information, such as name, social security number, and contact details, ensuring that all entries are made clearly and accurately. Applicants must also disclose any past criminal convictions or disciplinary actions related to their professional credentials, as the State Board of Education conducts thorough background checks. Furthermore, the form requires proof of completion for essential courses, including first aid, CPR, and concussion training, all of which must be updated within specific time frames. Additional documentation, such as high school diplomas or transcripts, may also be necessary depending on the applicant's educational background. For those renewing their permits, a record of continued education in safe coaching practices is required, demonstrating a commitment to the health and well-being of student-athletes. By carefully following the instructions laid out in the Ed 185 form, applicants can navigate the certification process with confidence and clarity.

Documents used along the form

When applying for the Connecticut Ed 185 form, several other documents may be necessary to ensure a complete application. Each of these documents plays a crucial role in verifying the qualifications and compliance of the applicant. Below is a list of commonly required forms and documents that accompany the Ed 185 form.

  • First Aid Certification: This document serves as proof that the applicant has completed a certified first aid course within the last three years. A photocopy or original certificate must be attached to the application.
  • CPR Certification: Similar to the first aid certification, this document confirms that the applicant has successfully completed a CPR course. A signed photocopy or original certificate is required for submission.
  • Quitclaim Deed Form: For individuals looking to transfer property ownership in Texas, it is important to include the Texas Documents form as part of the necessary documentation for a seamless transfer process.
  • High School Diploma or Transcript: Applicants must provide a copy of their high school diploma or an official high school transcript. This helps verify the educational background of the applicant.
  • Concussion and Head Injury Training Certificate: This certificate, obtained from the Connecticut Coaching Education Program (CCEP), demonstrates that the applicant has completed the necessary training on concussion and head injury management.
  • Coaching Course Completion Certificate: For those who do not hold a valid Connecticut educator certificate, proof of completion of an approved coaching course is required. This verifies that the applicant has received adequate training in coaching practices.
  • Signed Statement of Explanation: If an applicant answers "yes" to certain questions regarding criminal history or professional conduct, a signed statement detailing the circumstances must be included. This document provides context and clarity to the application.
  • Verification of 15 Clock Hours of Training: While not submitted with the initial application, this document may be required later for renewal. It confirms that the applicant has completed the necessary professional development hours related to coaching.
  • Application Fee: Depending on the specific requirements, a fee may be necessary when submitting the application. This fee supports the processing of the Ed 185 form and associated documents.

Gathering these documents can seem overwhelming, but each one is essential for ensuring that applicants meet the necessary standards for coaching in Connecticut. By preparing these materials in advance, applicants can streamline their application process and focus on their commitment to coaching and mentoring young athletes.
