There are 3 types of coach developers:
- Learning Facilitators – lead NCCP coaching courses
- Coach Evaluators – evaluate coach portfolios and conduct formal observations
- Master Coach Developers – provide training and formal observations of LF’s and CE’s
Coach Developers are nominated by Cycling BC and undergo training to guide, moderate and instruct new cycling coaches through various training programs. Learn more here.
