EC NCCP Certification Maintenance

The EC NCCP certification is like a diploma; after successfully passing the evaluation, the coach is certified for life. However, to keep their active status, instructors and coaches are required to:

​

1. Submit professional development (PD) points and

2. have an issued Coach Status to keep their certification current and be recognized by EC and AEF.

​

Instructors/coaches can check which activities they can receive points for in the PD Activity Guide, then the Coach Update Form  should be filled out and submitted to coaching@albertaequestrian.com.

​

The NCCP system requires instructors and coaches to submit their PD points on a five-year cycle according to their context:

​

1. Instructor: 10 points

2. Competition Coach: 20 points

3. Competition Coach Specialist: 20 points

4. Competition Development (HP1): 30 points

​

Instructors/coaches are responsible for entering their first aid and active coaching points themselves. Presentation on how to do it coming soon.

​

Follow these steps to check out how many points you have.

​

Check this presentation on how to complete PD points and when to submit the Coach Update Form.
