About the CONCACAF C Diploma

• Entry-Level Course: The CONCACAF C Diploma is the foundational course for the Advanced Coach Education pathway, preparing coaches for progression to the Specialist or Professional Streams (B Diploma, A Diploma). 

• Comprehensive Learning: The hybrid course combines synchronous e-learning sessions with in-person workshops. Coaches will engage in over 75 hours of learning and practical application, significantly more than the previous National C Licence. 

• Coach Developer Support: Each coach will be supported by NWT Soccer Coach Developers and assigned tasks to complete throughout the course, ensuring a high standard of competence. 

Transition from National C Licence: As National C Licence courses are no longer offered, the new CONCACAF C Diploma will be available for aspiring coaches. The C Diploma costs $250, it provides enhanced value through increased instructional hours and comprehensive support, far exceeding the benefits of the C Licence. 

Benefits of the C Diploma:

• Enhanced Training: More than 75 hours of learning opportunities designed to develop a deep understanding of the coaching process.

• Flexible Learning Environment: A blend of online and in-person sessions tailored to meet the needs of modern coaches.

• Year-Round Support: Continuous support from Coach Developers to help each coach achieve their best outcome.
