Badminton Canada NCCP Level 4 and Level 5

 

The National Coaching Institute is part of the Canadian Sport Centre and delivers NCCP level 4 and level 5 courses to coaches.  There are two ways to achieve level 4.

The first one is the best in terms of real coaching education.  The NCI offers a two year, part time Diploma in High Performance Coaching. 

The Diploma program includes the completion of the required theory courses for NCCP level 4 certification as well as other courses such as communication, philosophy and values, choice theory, power and ethics etc. 

In the Diploma program, it is recognized that coaches do not lead "normal" lives.  They travel with athletes and teams to competitions and training camps and are involved with any number of "events" that transpire to make committing to such a program difficult. The NCI recognizes and works with coaches in the program to find solutions to get them through the program.  In fact, it is this combination of study and practical work that makes the program so valuable.

The second route is to take NCCP level 4 tasks one by one and the tasks can be taken in two different ways.

 The first way is attend individual courses at a local NCI.  They can be selected from the Diploma program schedule and sometimes are offer them separately for groups when the demand is high enough.

The second way is to do them by video.  The NCI has DVD video for most tasks with the exception of Leadership (#17) which must be done in person. 

 

General information about the NCCP Level 4 / 5.  There are 20 tasks that must be completed.  When 12 of them have been completed, which must include tasks 12 and 9, coaches can be certified at Level 4.  When they have completed all 20 tasks, they can be certified at Level 5.  

Seven of the 20 tasks are sport specific and the requirements to complete them are set by Badminton Canada. 

Level 4 / 5 Tasks

Completion of 12 tasks is required for Level 4 certification.  This must include Task # 12 and Task # 9.
