1. What Certified Looper is
Certified Looper is online caddie training with a private certificate of completion, planned to open in spring 2027. It is not a license, not an accredited credential, and not issued or endorsed by the USGA, R&A, PGA of America, or any golf club unless we say so in writing. Our rules lessons explain the Rules of Golf in our own words; the official Rules are published by the USGA and R&A.
2. The waitlist and this website
Joining the waitlist is free and does not require you to buy anything. We'll email you when enrollment opens. Prices on this site are planned launch pricing for spring 2027, not an offer to sell today. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should sign up or give consent.
3. No promise of jobs or earnings
Completing the course or holding a certificate does not promise a caddie job, loops, tips, earnings, scholarships or playing results. Clubs make their own hiring decisions. We plan to sell training and certification only; we are not an employment or placement agency.
4. Planned course terms (coming 2027)
The following will apply when the paid course opens, and will be finalized before anyone enrolls:
- Learners must be at least 14. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must enroll you or give consent and accept the then-current terms for you.
- Take quizzes and exams yourself, without help from another person. Don't copy, record or share exam questions.
- Each certificate will have a unique ID. Certificate lookup is coming 2027; anyone with the ID will be able to see your name, level and issue date.
- Renewal will be optional and yearly (a rules refresher and re-test), with no automatic charges unless a later version of these terms says otherwise. [If automatic renewal is ever offered, add New York disclosures.]
- We may revoke a certificate if it was earned through cheating or false information, if an account was shared, or if a payment was reversed.
5. Payments and refunds (coming 2027)
There is no checkout on this waitlist site. When enrollment opens, prices will be shown at checkout and processed by a payment processor. Refund policy: TBD [e.g. full refund within X days if the exam hasn't been started; rules for unused club or sponsor seats]. Club bundles and class sponsorships will be covered by a separate written agreement.
6. Safety
Lessons on lightning, heat and the line of fire are general guidance only. Always follow your club's rules, your caddie master's instructions and official weather warnings.
