Training & Certification Levels

NCCP coaching levels come in two different types - Trained and Certified.  

Trained levels are the result of completing the basic tasks and require no further work from the coach.  Generally, House/DS Head Coaches and all Assistant Coaches required trained status. OWHA regulations state that Trained status is only valid for 5 years, after which the coach must either continue the training path, or retake their current course level.

Certified levels are the result of completing the assigned tasks and evaluations of a given course.  All competitive Head Coaches for U-13 and above require this level. In order to maintain a certified status, coaches must accrue 10 Professional Development Points within 5 years.  These points can be obtained through many streams, such as:

  • National and provincial sport organization conferences and clinics
  • eLearning modules
  • NCCP workshops
  • Coach mentorship programs
  • Active hockey coaching


Making Ethical Decisions

This is the final step for Coaching 2, Development 1, and High Performance 1 coaching levels.  The course can be done in-person or on-line and takes approximately 4 hours, for a cost of $75-$85.
