While the majority of our coaches are trained in an in-class setting, the CAO also supports various methods to accommodate coaches who prefer alternative learning environments.
The home study program is intended for coaches who prefer a self-directed learning environment or who are unable to travel to an in-class course.
Home study is a correspondence based learning method and the hours required for completion may be more than what is required of coaches attending an in-class course option.
The length of time to complete a home study varies by course and learning style of the individual. The home study format relies heavily on self-directed learning. All courses are given a 2 month completion period. Should you require an extension, please email homestudy@coachesontario.ca with your request.
Not all workshops have been designed or modified for home study. The quality assurance of NCCP delivery is important and we want to ensure we continue to provide the same quality of service to all coaches across the province.
Please Note: The Competition Development Multi-sport Modules are targeted towards coaches who are working with athletes at the Provincial and National levels. These modules are very lengthy, challenging and time-consuming so ensure that you have time to complete the work.
Online delivery is a means of providing a virtual in-class experience to coaches who prefer a virtual classroom setting or those who are unable to travel to an in-class course. Online courses are facilitator-led and group-based offered through a platform called Adobe Connect.
