International Coach eLearning module + Enhanced Screening

On May 11th, 2023, the Government of Canada announced new initiatives to enhance safe sport practices and work towards a more accountable and safer sport system.  

The Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is pleased to confirm that through this announcement, funding has been provided to ensure that all development and national team coaches attending international events are thoroughly screened and have the appropriate coaching certifications.   

As part of this project, the CAC will develop training for international coaches to support the integration of international coaches into coaching roles in Canada. The module will ensure the onboarding to support an understanding of values, ethics, and coaching expectations in the Canadian context.  

The funding will also allow the CAC to develop, pilot, and implement an enhanced screening process for coaches that can be applied throughout the sport system in Canada. 

Join the Task Force 

The CAC is seeking expressions of interest from its sport partners to participate in a task force to develop the new International Coaching eLearning module.  

The role of the task force is to provide guidance, expertise, and experience to develop the eLearning module to support the integration of international coaches into the sport system in Canada. The task force will also provide advice and guidance on the Enhanced screening process and CAC Professional Coach application process for new, current, and international coaches working in national and development team programs.   

The purpose, roles and responsibilities, and project timelines for the task force are outlined in the Terms of Reference.
