The New Standards
Equivalencies and Challenges during the transition from Old NCCP to New NCCP
Effective June 2006
LEGACY COACHES = coaches who received training and certification in the Old NCCP prior to 31 December 2005.
- All training and certification by legacy coaches will remain credited in the old NCCP data base.
- Any further training or certification will be credited in the new NCCP data base.
EQUIVALENCIES
Squash Canada Equivalency
During the transition, legacy coaches will be able to seek further training and certification in the New NCCP on the basis of their credits in the Old NCCP data base. Fully certified Level 1, 2, 3 coaches may request the following equivalency from Squash Canada or their Provincial Office:
Level 1 = Squash Instructor
Level 2 = Club Coach
Level 3 = Provincial Coach
Note: This is a Squash Canada equivalency only and credits will not appear in the New NCCP data base.
New NCCP Equivalencies
Legacy coaches will be entitled to apply for certification equivalency in the New NCCP Data base when the new contexts have received final approval from CAC. Equivalencies will be granted based upon a comparison of the old evaluation requirements and those now required in each context.
Level 1 certified Certified Squash Teacher Developed by Sq. Can.
Trained Intermediate Instructor CAC Conditionally Approved
Level 2 certified Certified Intermediate Instructor Developed by Sq. Can
Trained Club Coach
Level 3 certified Certified Club Coach Being developed by Sq. Can. Trained Provincial Coach
Notwithstanding the foregoing, coaches seeking Squash Canada or New NCCP equivalency must complete on-line evaluation of Making Ethical Decisions within one year of application and before December 21, 2008.
Note: There is no cost involved in taking the on-line evaluation. If you should fail on your first attempt, you may try again. If you fail twice, you have to take the course which is available as a take-home module but a fee is required. If you start the evaluation, you may pause to seek information at any time. Your work is saved and you may continue where you left off.
These Squash Canada and New NCCP equivalencies shall apply until the new system is in place and this policy is updated.
