NCCP Coach PD - Workshops

Professional Development

Coaches, like other professionals value lifelong learning and continuous improvement.  The NCCP requires all coaches to enhance their coaching ability by taking both NCCP professional development, as well as non NCCP workshops and courses.

The Coaching Association of Canada has developed a number of NCCP professional development workshops that align with NCCP core values and CS4L.
