| Program Overview |
What is the NCCP?
The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a collaborative program of the Government of Canada, provincial/territorial governments, national/provincial/territorial sport organizations and the Coaching Association of Canada. It is a coach training certification program for all coaches in more than 60 sports. The NCCP is moving towards a competency-based approach where coaches are:
- trained in NCCP outcomes relevant to the participants they are coaching.
- evaluated by demonstrating coaching outcomes to a specified standard.
The core competencies of coaching are valuing, interacting, leading, problem-solving, and critical thinking. These competencies are woven throughout all NCCP training and evaluation activities.
How does the program help me to become a better coach?
The new NCCP has been specifically designed to train coaches to be able to meet the needs of the specific particpants/athletes they are working with. Coaches participate in training opportunities that enable them to return to their coaching environment with specific skills than can be implemented immediately. Coaches learn to plan safe and effective practices, design meaningful season plans, teach appropriate sport skills to athletes, and many other important aspecats of coaching.
