National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP)

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a coach training and certification program offered in over 65 sports in Canada.  The principal objective of this program is to develop the abilities of coaches working with athletes at all levels, from the community level through to high-performance sport.

The NCCP is a collaborative program of the government of Canada, provincial/territorial governments, national/provincial/territorial sport organizations and the Coaching Association of Canada.
