Once certified, certification as an SLRP Coach lasts for three years and requires a deep understanding of the Student-Led Restorative Practices framework, the ability to demonstrate that understanding in practice, and the ability to support district- and school-based restorative practices teams through its implementation. These competencies are revealed through demonstrations of learning regarding:

1. Restorative Knowledge (RK 1-10)
2. Restorative Skill (RS 1-7)
3. Restorative Mindset (RM 1-4)
4. Coaching Knowledge (CK 1-7)
5. Coaching Skill (CS 1-7)
6. Coaching Mindset (CM 1-6)

Unless there is a demonstration of learning (DoL) defined in the competency, each competency type relies on a default DoL. The default DoL for knowledge competencies is a one page writing. The default DoL for skills competencies is a written or video artifact. The default DoL for mindset competencies is coach observation with rubric. Alternative DoLs can be determined by a Senior Coach.
