Goal: To ensure it continues to be possible for coaches attempting to complete their Level 3 certification in the old NCCP to do so while the Competition – Development multi-sport modules are piloted and once they are implemented and Theory 3 is discontinued.

Rationale: Two core components of the Theory 3 course were annual planning and coaching ethics. Make Ethical Decisions and Design a Basic Sport Program, modules currently associated with the Competition – Introduction and Instruction – Beginners contexts, are also required for the Competition – Development context and adequately cover these two core ability areas from Theory 3. Availability of both modules is extremely high as Make Ethical Decisions is available across the country as a stand-alone module, and the online evaluation is available to all coaches at no cost, and Design a Basic Sport Program is currently available in both workshop delivery and Home Study delivery and is becoming available in a stand-alone elearning format before the end of the 07-08 fiscal year.

Providing coaches with the option to choose 4 out of the 6 modules listed will enable them to choose modules that are most available to them either according to the schedule of their delivery or according to availability of Learning Facilitators in rural locations. It will also allow coaches to select the 4 modules which they feel will be most beneficial to them based upon their current coaching situation and needs.

The automated trigger of Theory 3 equivalency can be tracked and reflected in the NCCP Database.

Implementation period:

• Start Date - December 1, 2007.
• End Date - Theory 3 equivalency will cease to be provided to coaches April 1, 2012.

NCCP Operational Standard: Coaches who have completed training in Design a Basic Sport Program, Make Ethical Decisions (training or evaluation) and any 4 of the 6 multi-sport modules will be automatically credited in the NCCP Database, upon receipt of all NCCP registration forms, with Theory 3 equivalency.
