Please contact your FCA Representative to let them know you have completed this part of the VIP Journey.
After your FCA Representative reviews your completed application, they will contact you to discuss next steps. If you’re approved to continue, the next step in your journey is Training.
Step 2: Training
Log into your account.
Your account dashboard will show a list of the training courses you are required to complete. The number of required training programs is dependent on the role you are applying for.
After completing each training program, return to your dashboard for instructions on the next required course.
- Your previous FCAU training completions should appear in the VIP system.
Please notify your FCA Representative if completion of a training program is not reflected on your dashboard.
- Please note that Child Abuse Prevention Training is mandatory for all applicants. This training is part of FCA’s national application process. Because state requirements for mandated reporters (such as teachers and coaches) vary, FCA has implemented a standardized training program for all volunteers. While we recognize that Pennsylvania mandated reporters are already required by state law to complete abuse prevention training, FCA requires every volunteer—regardless of state—to complete the FCA Abuse Prevention Program as part of the application process.
Frequently return to the dashboard frequently for your next steps.
Complete your PA Volunteer Required Clearances
As you complete your required training programs, please ensure your PA Volunteer Clearances are up to date (issued within the past 5 years). If not, you’ll need to complete new background checks so we can file them with our other volunteer records.
These clearances include:
- PA Child Abuse
- PA Criminal
- FBI Fingerprint Clearance (or disclosure)
See instructions on how to obtain these clearances through the link on the button.
Send all three documents to your FCA Representative once you have received them.
Step 3: Finalize
- Confirm that you have completed all the required tasks on your dashboard
- Notify your FCA Representative that you have completed the VIP Journey
- Send your FCA Representative all three of your PA State Volunteer Clearances
