The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) in Judo is the result of a partnership between Judo Canada and the Coaching Association of Canada. This program enables participants to learn both, in a classroom setting and on the mat, what it means to be a coach/instructor in Judo. The NCCP is the recognized national standard for coaching Judo in Canada. - Judo Canada

Why take NCCP training?
By taking NCCP coaching courses, you will learn how to be a better coach and a better judoka. For Judo, all course facilitators in Canada are experienced and knowledgeable judoka who are willing to share their experience with you. You will also learn from your fellow course participants as the courses are as much about sharing ideas as they are about learning from the facilitators.
NCCP training challenges you to look at your current practices and to open your mind to alternative methods as well as reinforcing traditional teachings. It also allows you to develop a network of coaches with whom you can continue to share ideas/methodology with and continue to grow with.
What are the coaching stages in Judo?
The normal path that is followed is Dojo Assistant (DA), Dojo Instructor (DI), and Competition Development (CompDev). Another pathway is Community Coach, DI, and CompDev.
|
Community Coach: This course is for instructors involved in a recreational club (no competition) or with recreational judoka not involved in competitive streams. Prerequisites:
There is no Certification required for this level. (See the NCCP Policy for more details.) |

Dojo Assistant: Prerequisites:

Professional Development
All certified coaches/instructors will have to complete a set number of Professional Development hours over a five year period to maintain their certification in an “Active” state. The required number of hours depends on the certification level of the coach:
- Dojo Assistant – 10 hours
- Dojo Instructor – 20 hours
- Competition Development – 30 hours
A new cycle starts every five years. If a coach does not attain the required hours, his/her status in the Locker will be “Non-renewed”. To get back to active, the coach will need to complete the missing hours or be re-evaluated. A new cycle will be started at that point.
The following table shows the activity types for Professional Development points. All points are recorded in the Locker. Points are entered by the course sponsor (CAC, Judo Sask, etc) except for self-reporting items. The Locker will guide you through entering these points. Check CAC, CAS, Judo Canada, and Judo Sask websites for PD opportunities.
