MED training and evaluation will be combined into one eLearning module available through The Locker Learning Management System (LMS). MED training will no longer be offered through facilitated delivery (in person, virtual-synchronous, home study) through the P/TCR or integrated NSOs (there may be exceptional circumstances). Training and evaluation will be accessed in the same eLearning module available in The Locker. After April 1, 2026, the existing online evaluation will no longer be available through The Locker.
Starting April 1, 2026, coaches will no longer have access to the current MED online evaluation module, nor NCCP multi-sport or sport-specific MED training. Coaches will be required to access NCCP MED through The Locker. The new eLearning module will feature both the training and evaluation.
Coaches who have completed MED training and online evaluation will continue to have this indicated on their transcript and will not need to complete the new eLearning module.
Coaches who are mid-stream – those who have completed in-person training but have not yet completed the online evaluation or are in the middle of the online evaluation – will have until March 31, 2026, 11:59:59 PT to complete the current online evaluation module. Coaches who do not complete the current online evaluation module by March 31, 2026, 11:59:59 PT will need to complete the entire new eLearning module, which includes both training and evaluation. However, they will not be charged again to access the new module.
Coaches who previously completed the MED training and online evaluation will not have free access to the new eLearning module and can reference their existing MED Coach Workbook as a resource.
Coaches who previously (before April 1, 2026) completed only the NCCP MED Online Evaluation and are required to take training to satisfy a training pathway will need to take the new NCCP MED eLearning module. Similar to the current process, they will be required to pay.
New coaches will be required to complete their training and evaluation via the new eLearning module as of April 1, 2026. Once a coach has paid for the eLearning module, they will have the ability to access it at any time via The Locker.
The MED training and evaluation will now be delivered exclusively through The Locker in the format of a new eLearning module.
While this means that Coach Developers (CDs) will no longer deliver this training, CAC and its partners are committed to supporting this important community to remain engaged in delivering the NCCP.
P/TCRs and NSOs will work with those who are impacted to ensure their continued involvement.
Delivery ends March 15, 2026: P/TCRs and NSOs will stop delivering in-person, synchronous online, and home study versions of MED to allow coaches time to finish the current online evaluation.
De-integration by April 1, 2026: NSOs with integrated MED content will no longer be able to provide credit for MED on coach transcripts. CAC consultants will work directly with NSOs to support content updates by March 31, 2026.
Data entry deadline: All workshop data must be entered into the Locker by March 31, 2026 (11:59 PT).
New eLearning module: As of April 1, 2026, MED training and evaluation will be accessed as an eLearning module available in The Locker. The eLearning module can be completed on a computer, tablet or mobile phone; however, coaches from remote communities can connect with their P/TCR to learn more about accessible options available to them.
Communication responsibilities: P/TCRs and NSOs will be responsible for communicating this change to their P/TSOs, Coach Developers (CD) and other specific partners in the community. Please see below for templated resources to support your communications.
Support for Coach Developers: P/TCRs and NSOs will be responsible for leading the development of individualized plans for each CD to ensure their continued involvement in delivering the NCCP, outside of MED.
