The National Coaching Certification Program is a coach training and certification program for 65 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.
Each year, more than 50,000 coaches take an NCCP workshop and since it began, more than 1 million coaches have participated in the program, making it one of Canada’s largest adult education programs.
While continuing to equip coaches with the tools they need to become successful community leaders, the program has undergone a number of changes in recent years. Among these changes has been a shift in emphasis from “what a coach knows” to “what a coach can do”.
