NCCP Community Coach Training: A new
qualification as of 2008. This is a 14
hour weekend course focusing equally on
ethics and liability and triathlon itself. |
|

NCCP Triathlon Level One: The older
version of the Community Coach course.
This was a 16 hour training course that
resulted in certification. |

OTC Training: |
|
|
|
1. The vast majority of our team must first
complete a full season in the TTP before
becoming a coach. This 64 hour course
allows them to understand all aspects of the
sport and ensure sufficient proficiency is
developed. We do make exceptions on
occasion if the candidate can demonstrate the
understanding, proficiency, and experience
required. |
|
|
|
2. Each fall the club hosts a 16 hour annual
training course with a visiting coach.
This is 100% triathlon content and recently
featured 3x World Champion triathlete and coach,
Karen Smyers. Our list of other guest
coaches includes Dave Scott (6x Ironman World
Champ), Mark Allen (6x Ironman World Champ), Sam
McGlone (World Champ and Canadian Olympian),
Cliff English (Former US National Team Coach)
and former Canadian National Team Coach,
Phillipe Bertrand. |
|
|
|
3. Each coach under goes a 6 hour course on studio use and class facilitation. |
