Competency Based Education
and Training Program
|
Embarking upon a
transition toward a competency-based approach to coach training and
certification means that the NCCP is moving toward being a program based on
coaching abilities. In contrast, the current NCCP places a significant
emphasis on gaining information and knowledge. In other words, once the
transition to a competency-based approach is complete, the NCCP will be a
program that certifies coaches based on proven abilities to “DO” certain
things deemed important to meet the needs of the participants they coach.
These changes will result in significant improvements to the NCCP.

|
Coaching Stream
|
A distinction made within
the NCCP that serves to differentiate the primary coaching focus. Three
distinct coaching streams have been identified for certification purposes:
(1) Community Sport; (2) Competition; and (3) Instruction.

Gradation
|
An advanced phase of
certification that reflects a higher degree of “competence” in required
outcomes within a specific context, based upon successful completion of an
evaluation conducted by a qualified evaluator using criteria and evidences
that reflect a broader scope and depth of competency beyond the certification
requirements.

Long Term Athlete
Development Model. The Canadian 7-stage model that reflects a gradual cycle
of athletes/participants participation in sport using key parameters that
articulate appropriate activities and sport involvement given an individual's
stage of development. Each Canadian sport is required to develop a
sport-specific model in addition to the generic Canadian Sport for Life
model.

Trained
vs Certified
|
The NCCP model distinguishes
between training and certification. Coaches can participate in training
opportunities to acquire or refine the skills and knowledge required for a
particular coaching context (i.e. Competition-Introduction) as defined by the
sport and be considered "trained".
To become "certified" in
a coaching context, coaches must be evaluated on their demonstrated ability
to perform within that context in areas such as program design, practice
planning, performance analysis, program management, ethical coaching, support
to participants during training, and support to participants in competition.
