Due to the changes IASF has implemented, any non-US coaches will be required to complete their coaching certification within their own country. BCSC is offering a credentialing program until a national coaches certification program is created. Members of BCSC are actively working with Cheer Canada to create national coaching certification so there will be some continuity when we transition into the national program.
Please note that credentialing is separate from the Technical Course we offer. The Technical Course is a great way to prepare for credentialing but is not included.
Policies
If you have no previous coaching Certification or it has been expired for more than 6 months you may credential levels 1-2 for a $50 flat rate. This rate includes an online written test and an in-person/virtual coaching evaluation.
Level 1- $30
Level 2- $30
Level 3- $30
Level 4- $40
Level 5- $40
Level 6- $50
Level 7 **- $50
** Note: Level 7 credentialing is now broken into two sections. Although the written test is the same for both, when being evaluated, please specify if you wish to be credentialed for level 7 with flipping (no twisting) baskets, or with all twisting baskets.
Non-affiliated members will be charged an additional $25 administration fee.
If you are credentialing any level between levels 3 and 7, a practical field experience form must be submitted before seeing a Coach Evaluator (CE).
If you are re-certifying your existing level, it is a $35 flat rate. If you have an active certification (obtained through USASF, ICU, or BCSC within the past 3 years) and would like to upgrade to a higher level, please see the table above for rates.
Credentialing occurs four times a year in February, May, August, and November. Registration for each session will open one month prior.
If there is a pressing emergency to be scheduled outside these periods or if you have 8+ coaches to be scheduled at the same location in the same session please email coach@bcsportcheer.ca to see when there is availability.
