Certifications

ROC is able and eager to help all flyers earn their certifications from the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) and the Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA). For specific requirements, please visit these web sites. (Note also that NAR has a Junior Certification program for flyers under 18 - please check the NAR site for details.)

Several ROC members have written some helpful articles on certifying - these are posted on our Wizards page.

Note that for both organizations, you may join at the launch and certify Level 1 pending application approval and receiving your membership number.

Also, in all cases be sure to fill out the correct flight card and indicate that this is a Certification flight at the top of the card

For Level 1 and Level 2 NAR Certification, we always have enough NAR members with Level 2 available at a launch who would be happy to sign off your Certification. Ask the RSO or any ROC Board member at the launch to help you find NAR members to witness your flight.

For Level 1 and Level 2 TRA Certification, these must be signed off by our Tripoli Prefect. You should contact the Prefect via the ROC Board page to make sure the Prefect will be attending the launch.

For Level 3 NAR Certification, contact our L3CC members.

For Level 3 TRA Certification, contact our TAP members.
