A Look at Coaching Certification Requirements
The first thing to understand about coaching certification requirements is that there are three streams of courses:
Each stream acts independently and has separate contact information regarding upcoming courses. The courses themselves are administered independently.

Multi-Sport Modules
The First stream, Multi-Sport, is administered by the Coaches Association of Ontario. These courses explore central themes in coaching and sport. There are a variety of ways the modules can be taken including in person workshops, Homestudy and online courses.
