AUTHORIZED AGENT CERTIFICATION PROCESS

The Principal Authorized Agent (PAA) is responsible for managing their local Authorized Agent (AA) teams, including the approval of certification requests. The purpose of this document is to provide the PAA with a description of the workflow required to certify a Non-Public Property Sponsorship AA.

Completion of the AA training certifies members of the Canadian Armed Forces, employees of the Department of National Defence, or Staff of the Non-Public Funds, Canadian Forces to solicit and accept sponsorships and donations in support of NPP programs and events.

Both a valid AA certificate and approval is required before solicitation and acceptance of sponsorships and donations is permissible. The AA certificate is presented to those who complete the self-paced training course and receive a minimum score of 80% on the exam. The AA Certification is valid for three years. Individuals are not authorized to solicit and accept sponsorships and donations if the certificate has not been obtained or the certificate has expired. AAs require approval from the PAA prior to soliciting or accepting sponsorships or donations.
