COACHING CERTIFICATION & EXPIRY OF THE OLD SYSTEM

• Effective 2016, NCCP transferred all certifications from the old system (Theory I, 2, 3, Technical 1, 2, 3, Practical 1, 2, 3 etc.) to the new system (Community, Competition, Introduction, etc.).
• This certification must be maintained by taking 20-30 professional development credits.
• For those who transferred certification, maintenance credits must be completed by December 31, 2021.
• For those with “trained” status, there is no expiration.
• There are several ways to earn maintenance credits: self directed learning (3 courses), coaching (1 course per year), NCCP courses (approximately 5 per course).
• Track certification and maintenance credits in the NCCP Locker:
