The Locker & More
When you become a coach or are a coach-in-training, you will be assigned a National Coaching Certification Program number with the Coaching Association of Canada. This number is linked to a coaching portal called The Locker. Your Locker number will have the history of the coaching courses you’ve taken.
NCCP Multi-Sport Modules
In addition to the ongoing NCCP Athletics workshops, there are some other important NCCP multi-sport modules. Safe Sport Training and Make Ethical Decision (MED) are required for all Athletics Alberta Coach members and the other modules are specific to the various coaching pathways. The online modules are available at Alberta Sport and the eLearning modules available in The Locker.
Coaching Education Deadlines
New deadlines have been established for your coaching education evaluations.
Coaches will have one year (365 days) to complete and pass their Athletics Portfolio for RJTW, Sport Coach and Club Coach. And, that clock will begin on the day that they register for their Athletics Evaluation.
In addition, coaches who registered for their Athletics evaluations in RJTW, Sport Coach or Club Coach in the past (2024, 2023, 2022, etc) have until December 31, 2025 to complete and pass it. If this deadline is not met, they will have to re-register for the evaluation and pay for it again.
These new deadlines are intended to keep coaching education current and evaluations productive.
