Certification Maintenance
Maintenance of certification is an essential component of the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) that ensures coaches remain updated on the latest coaching practices, techniques, and knowledge. Hockey Canada and the Coaching Association of Canada have provided a framework for developing coaches and maintaining certification through participation in national and provincial sport organization conferences and workshops, eLearning modules, NCCP workshops, coach mentorship programs, and active coaching. PD points are tracked by the Coaching Association of Canada in your Locker profile and Hockey Canada Spordle profile.
