APP unit membership opens APP certification to an entire patrol: testing eligibility for every patroller on the roster, online quizzes, and APP events. Individual membership is available for professional patrollers joining on their own. All memberships renew each November 1.
For patrol units registering with APP as a group for the first time. Full unit membership at no cost for the first year, then annual unit membership.
Annual unit membership for patrol units after their first year. Covers the entire patrol roster: certification eligibility, online quizzes, APP events, and recognition as an APP member unit.
For professional patrollers joining APP individually, at any resort.
Patrol units registering with APP as a group for the first time receive their first year of unit membership at no cost — certification eligibility for every patroller on the roster, online quizzes and APP events. After the first year, unit membership renews annually on November 1.
Unit membership brings APP certification to the whole patrol at once. Every patroller on the roster can take the online quizzes and sit APP certification testing, and the unit is recognized as an APP member.
One membership covers the roster, so patrol directors can plan certification as part of the season rather than patroller by patroller.
Testing eligibility for every patroller on the unit roster, with each patroller’s certification history recorded and kept by APP.
Domain quizzes taken online (launching 2027), so patrollers arrive at proctored testing prepared.
