Certification

Every DCO trained by the CCES will be certified in accordance to the WADA Sample Collection Personnel Guidelines. DCOs must undergo practical training by observing at least one (1) out-of-competition and one in-competition sample collection session before given the responsibility to conduct one out-of-competition and one in-competition test on their own, under the observation of an accredited and certified CCES DCO. DCOs shall also act in the capacity of a notifying, witnessing and escorting Chaperone before earning their stripes. Therefore, at a minimum, a new DCO must take part in four sample collection sessions.

The CCES will also provide Chaperone training and will train DCOs to function with and train any chaperones that they require to perform their duties.
