NCCP DOJO INSTRUCTOR COURSE 

NCCP DOJO INSTRUCTOR COURSE 

Judo Alberta will be holding an NCCP Dojo Instructor course on Oct 4-5, 2025, in Edmonton.  

The “Instructor” course provides the participant with knowledge to teach the technical, physical, mental, social and other aspects of judo. The course prepares the participant to be a club instructor and be responsible for providing judoka with the basic physical literacy skills with emphasis on children under the age of 14, judo skills as described in the Judo Canada syllabus, and to introduce young judoka to competition.

Prerequisites:

  • Minimum age of 18.
  • Minimum rank of brown belt with a working knowledge of the judo techniques included in the Judo Canada kyu syllabus.
  • Trained DA or Trained Community Coach.
  • Sterling background check for all candidate coaches who are 18 years old and older via Sterling Agency – for details see: https://www.sterlingtalentsolutions.ca/landing-pages/j/judo-canada/;

OR equivalent if such checks are required by the Province/Territory. In cases where the Sterling agency is not used for this service, results of the background check must be communicated to Judo Canada to NCCP@judocanada.org by the individual coaches or P/T offices.

The Backcheck is required only if the check done for the DA was done more than 3 years earlier.
