Background

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a collaborative program between the Government of Canada, the provincial/territorial governments, the national/provincial/territorial sport organizations and the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC). It is recognized as the national standard for coach training and education in Canada for more than 67 sports.

In May 2006, the CAO became the contracted provincial agency for delivering the NCCP on behalf of the Ministry of Health Promotion, now the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS).

In partnership with the Ministry, the CAO has made a commitment to building a strong provincial delivery support system for coach education and accreditation based on the NCCP and in accordance with the Mandate Agreement between the CAC, Sport Canada and the provincial/territorial governments.

To ensure a high quality of delivery for Ontario Coaches, the CAO’s role includes:

  • Scheduling, delivering and administering NCCP workshops across the province;
  • Providing access and opportunity for coaches in remote areas through outreach and distance education;
  • Meeting all NCCP program policy requirements issued by the Coaching Association of Canada and adhering to national standards;
  • Effective promoting and marketing of the NCCP; and
  • Selecting, training, scheduling and developing Learning Facilitators (LFs)
