The SCCA Academy’s Solo Course Design online program is now a required step for any member seeking to obtain a Solo Course Design license for SCCA events.

Effective April 1, this requirement ensures that individuals responsible for designing Solo courses have a consistent foundation in safety, layout principles, and event standards. Regions should be prepared to identify a licensed course designer during the audit process, reinforcing the importance of this certification in maintaining quality and safety across all events. While Solo Safety Stewards are not currently required to complete the course, participation is strongly encouraged to support a well-rounded understanding of course design best practices.

Access to the Solo Course Design course has also been expanded and is now available to all SCCA members directly through the Member Account Portal, removing the previous need to request access. Members can easily get started using the SCCA Academy Quick Start Guide PDF or Quick Start Guide Video, which walk through logging in and registering for the course. This broader availability makes it easier than ever for members to build their skills and contribute to successful Solo events.
