What is the NCCP?

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) provides standardized, inclusive, and safe sport education to coaches and coach developers across 65 sports. The NCCP is managed and delivered by the Coaching Association of Canada through its partner network of 65 National Sport Organizations and Provincial/Territorial Sport Organization (like Nova Scotia!). 

There are three streams within the NCCP: Community Sport, Competition and Instruction. You can read more about where you fit in—and more—at coach.ca.

What is The Locker?

The Coaching Association of Canada’s central location to easily access, manage, and maintain your coach training and records is called The Locker. This database is home to the coach training transcripts of over 2 million coaches in Canada!

The Locker is also where your affiliated sport organization will confirm your completed training and coaching certifications, offer sport-specific eLearning and schedule events.
