NCCP Training
The CAC, through its Provincial/Territorial Coaching Representatives (PTCRs), delivers a number of multi-sport NCCP courses online through webinars and e-learning opportunities. We’ve outlined below which courses are required for each level of the EC/NCCP Coaching Program.
To access NCCP training, Coaches need an NCCP Locker account. If you have previously completed NCCP training, then you already have an account. To verify your account or create a new one, go to thelocker.coach.ca.
All EC/NCCP Certified Coaches
