NCCP Program Overview

The NCCP is Canada’s recognized National Coaching Certification Program. It was developed in 1974 to provide quality training and certification to Canada's coaches in more than 60 sports. The NCCP has moved towards a competency-based approach where coaches are:
- trained in NCCP outcomes relevant to the participants that 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 will be woven throughout all NCCP training and evaluation activities.
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.
Coaches with questions on how their NCCP certifications fit within the new program will find these links helpful from Coaching Association of Canada:
