Requirements

•  You must have valid First Aid (CPR-C with AED) at minimum. 
• These  certificates are generally valid for three years. 
• We strongly recommend an in-person first aid course.

• Criminal Record checks are required for all coaches 18 years and older in BC. 
• These are valid for 2 years, and then must be renewed. 
• You may complete paperwork for a criminal record check through your local police station, or alternatively, use Sterling Backcheck for $30.  Complete your check online today through: Sterling Backcheck. Results are typically available in one business day, and identity verification can be done online or at your local Canada post location. Provide your gym/employer with this information, and upload it to your Membership platform account.
• If you have a Criminal Record Check through your work, it must have been conducted in the past two years, even if the expiry date shows valid for five years.

• All coaches will need an online account through NCCP to complete courses.  Create your free account at https://thelocker.coach.ca/home
• Once you have created an account, you will receive an NCCP #. This number is unique to you and your training. Upload this number to your membership account to validate your training with the BCSC.
