Special Requirements

Persons who are eligible to become a Certified Adaptive Physical Educator (CAPE) through the National Consortium for Physical Education and Recreation for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPERID) fall into three categories:

·         Recently graduated, qualified Physical Education Teachers

·         Professional Physical Educators with more than 10 years full time experience

·         Persons teaching in Higher Education and Academic Programs

Recently graduated, qualified Physical Education Teachers:

If you are a recently graduated, qualified Physical Education Teacher, you must take the APENS National Certification Exam. The exams are held on a rolling basis and can be taken at a campus near you. You must apply for this by means of an application form. To make things easier, the form has been divided into two sections, one for sitting for the exam and one for obtaining certification when you pass the exam.

Professional Physical Educators with more than 10 years full time experience:

A Professional Physical Educator who is applying under this option must provide verification or documentation of each of the following, but does not need to sit the exam:

A.    Valid general physical education teaching certificate.

B.    Minimum of ten (10) years (full-time) teaching experience in physical education with students with disabilities (this includes experience in integrated and/or segregated environments).

C.    Accrued fifteen (15) points in the following five (5) categories over the past seven (7) years:

1.     Elected official or board member of one (1) state or national adapted physical education/sport organization for a minimum of one (1) year (2 points per year for a maximum of 6 points).

2.     Provided a presentation or inservice at a state or national level related to adapted physical education (1 point per presentation for a maximum of 3 points).

3.     Have taken and successfully passed a 3-credit hour college or university graduate level course in adapted physical education (3 points per course for a maximum of 9 points).

4.     Possess a valid adapted physical education state licensure/endorsement which required the successful completion of a minimum of four (4) semester credit courses in adapted physical education (3 points).

5.     Supervised interns or student teachers in adapted physical education for a minimum of 200 hours (2 points).

In categories 1-3, up to three experiences can be counted. For example, in taking and successfully passing four adapted physical education classes, three of the four may be counted for a total of nine points from that category. Experiences in categories 4 and 5 may only be counted once.

Persons teaching in Higher Education and Academic Programs :

Document your higher education or institutional involvement using two options:

Option #1:
