Ontario Volleyball offers clinics to certify and recognize individuals as qualified beach and indoor volleyball officials. There are four levels of beach certification:

• Local
• Provincial
• National
• International

The level of certification determines the category of competition the official is eligible to officiate: Elementary school, High school, Recreational leagues, OVA tournaments, Provincial Championships, College, University, National Championships.

In order to obtain the next level of certification, upgrade clinics must be successfully completed. Some levels also require participation in update clinics.
