Coaching Education Overview and Updates

All National Sport Federations are transitioning to the new National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), which is based on a competency based methodology. This transition will emphasize more of a focus on what participants need in various streams and contexts including community, instruction and competition. More info here.

For more information on Level 1, 2 theory, technical and practical and the new NCCP transition to a competency based approach contact: Jennifer Browett or David Derry.
