NCCP Information

Transition to the new NCCP

Background:

As of April 1, 2004, the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) no longer offers Level 1 or Level 2 Theory. All National Sport Federations are transitioning to the new 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. All curriculum will be based upon what the coach/instructor needs to be able to do in order to effectively support the participant. As well, evaluation will be a mandatory part of the competition and instruction stream.

Rowing Canada Aviron has integrated the relevant multisport material into the “RCA Coach” workshops (formerly the old Level 1 & 2)
