NCCP Make Ethical Decisions – Important Changes Coming

Overview & Rationale

Changes Coming to NCCP Make Ethical Decisions (MED)

• MED training and evaluation will be combined into one eLearning module available in The Locker.
• All facilitated delivery methods (in‑person, virtual-synchronous, home study) will be discontinued.
• After April 1, 2026, the current online evaluation will no longer be available.
• All training and evaluation will occur within the new NCCP MED eLearning module.

Why This Change? (CAC)

• Increasing shift toward eLearning across Canada.
• Improved consistency across the NCCP.
• Greater accessibility, simpler delivery, and stronger program impact.
• Ensures all coaches receive the same content and evaluation method.
