Recognize coaches for attending your event or training as professional development credit in the NCCP Locker database!

The NCCP Locker database is the central hub in Canada for all coaches to have their training’s, events attended and development recorded. Think of it as the master transcript for all things relating to one’s coaching credentials.

Professional Development (PD) points are required for coaches to maintain their ACTIVE Certified status in the NCCP. The number of points vary slightly but most sports require 20-30 points over a 4-5 year period.

  • NCCP courses or evaluation events are worth 5 points each;

Individual coaches can also utilize the self-report function to award themselves up to a maximum of 8 points per cycle.

  • Up to 5 points for actively coaching (1 point per year)
  • Up to 3 points for other learning (webinars, events, training outside the NCCP)

A coach can log into their Locker account for an up-to-date record of PD points or contact the CAO directly at 416-426-7086 or via email at events@coachesontario.ca.

How Many Points is my Event Worth?

  • 1 Hour = 1 Point
  • 2 Hours = 2 Points
  • 3+ Hours = 3 Points
