The NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) is a Canadian program designed to provide standardized training for coaches and instructors across various sports — including judo. This program is managed by the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) in collaboration with national sport organizations such as Judo Canada.

Judo Training – NCCP with Judo Canada

In the context of judo, coaches follow sport-specific modules tailored to the needs of judo, which include:

• Judo techniques and tactics
• Training planning based on age groups
• Safety and injury prevention
• Performance management in competition

The NCCP uses a stage-based system, and coaches earn certifications as they complete their training. This certification is recognized nationally, and in some cases, internationally.

The NCCP is an essential tool for any coach who wants to develop their skills, grow in their career, and provide high-quality support to their athletes.
