Commissioners of Revenue Certification Program
The Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners certification programs have two components, taking and passing required courses and earning “points” through participation in association events. Specific program details, including purpose, content, eligibility, requirements, procedures, and regulations, are included in the handbook below, which is written and maintained by the Association, not the Weldon Cooper Center. Alternatively, you can visit the Commissioners of the Revenue Association website for program details and requirements.
The Weldon Cooper Center administers the certification program on behalf of the Commissioners of the Revenue Association of Virginia and maintains all records of the program, including accurate, up-to-date transcripts.
Information gets posted to individual transcripts in the following manner:
- Course grades are usually posted within ten days of the exam.
- Attendance at regularly scheduled events—district meeting, annual meeting, etc—is normally posted within two weeks of the event.
- For events outside of scope of the Cooper Center, records are updated once the Cooper Center receives the necessary information.
