The Ontario Soccer Association's Coaching Department is pleased to announce that they have received the course content and permission from the Canadian Soccer Association to start to facilitate the new C License course. This course will replace the current Pre B Course and will be valid for 5 years. 

The C License course is NCCP recognised and will have 40 hours of theory and on-field education. When the course has concluded, the attending coach will have the status of "in-training" registered on their profile in the NCCP locker. The coach will then have the option to have a post course on-field assessment.

If the coach is successful in meeting the standard during the assessment, his/her status will move from "in-training" to "trained" on the locker and be awarded a C License certificate. 

The coaching department has several Pre B Courses scheduled for September and October 2015 and will be replacing these Pre B Course with the new C License. The cost for this course for 2015 will be the same as a Pre B Course. However, there will be a cost of $75.00 for the post-course assessment. 

Those who currently hold a a valid Pre-B will still be able to apply for the Provincial B License and will still be viewed in the same regard, in terms of status in the coaching pathway as new C Licenses coaches. The five year validity remains, starting from the day your Pre-B assessment was succesfully completed.

For more information, please contact Matt Kassabian or Brandon Frith of the coaching development department.
