Certified Coach Database

Finding the right coach is important to a fun and healthy pursuit of cycling. Canada’s National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) provides certification for cycling COMPETITION coaches focused on athletes in the Train-to-Train (U17), Train-to-Compete (U23), and Train-to-win (Elite) stages of Long-Term Development. To achieve certification, coaches must complete an evaluative process and demonstrate competency.

Cycling BC proudly showcases our NCCP-Certified coaches below. Alternatively, visit our accredited coach registry.
