Your Levels-NCCP credentials are still valid and recognized in the sport community. They will not expire or be removed from your transcript.
You are being awarded this equivalency so that the NCCP coaching partnership can better serve you and provide you with information and opportunities that are relevant to today’s coaching demands and in today’s coaching environment.
Recent changes in the NCCP include an emphasis on coaching ethics and recognizing professional development and ongoing training as essential for coaches. As a result of the transition to the new NCCP program, all coaches with a CERTIFIED status will be subject to Maintenance of Certification. In order for NCCP coaches to maintain their status, they will be required to obtain Professional Development (PD) points. All NCCP programs require certified coaches to complete PD on a five year cycle of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 - any PD points acquired between September 28th, 2016 and January 1, 2017 will count in the 2017-2021 cycle.
Please visit the CAC’s Maintenance of Certification page, to find more information on professional development opportunities and points, as well as a list of frequently asked questions. Below you will find minimum professional development points requirements, as well as various activities that will grant you those points.
We strongly advise you to become familiar with your transcript and the Locker and regularly login (coach.ca and go to The Locker – you will need your NCCP# and password), to see the progress you have made with NCCP and PD activities. The CAC has published a Transfer of Qualifications FAQ page should you have any questions about your new Competition, Instruction, or Community Sport qualifications. Should you have any further questions after having consulted the resource page, you may want to contact Dave McMaster of Badminton Alberta or Janice Dawson of Badminton Canada or the CAC’s Coach and Partner Services team at 613-235-5000 or coach@coach.ca
Thank you for investing your time, energy, and passion into the National Coaching Certification Program!
