National Coaching Certification Program
What is the NCCP
The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a coach training
and certification program for 66 different sports and is offered in
both official languages across Canada. NCCP workshops are designed to
meet the needs of all types of coaches, from the first-time coach to
the head coach of a national team. The NCCP is the recognized national
standard for coach training and certification in Canada. As part of the
program, all coaches are trained in ethical decision-making and sport
safety.
The New NCCP
The new NCCP model is made up of three streams and a total of eight
contexts, each with its own coaching requirements. Each sport is
responsible for identifying how many of the eight contexts are relevant
to their sport.
