The Instructor of Beginner Golfers Evaluation is a key component of the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), offered in partnership by the PGA of Canada, Golf Canada, and the Coaching Association of Canada. Upon successful completion of the in-person workshop, participants will demonstrate their teaching abilities through an evaluative process that includes working closely with an industry expert evaluator, who will guide and assess their progress.
This evaluation process is aimed at ensuring that each participant has achieved the desired learning outcomes and can apply what they've learned to effectively coach beginner golfers. The evaluator will offer constructive feedback and guidance, helping to refine teaching methods and ensure that participants are ready to provide the best possible instruction for beginners.
Successful completion of this evaluation confirms a coach's proficiency in delivering quality, beginner-focused golf instruction.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completing the evaluation, coaches will be able to:

  • Utilize the principles learned in the Make Ethical Decisions (MED) module to navigate ethical dilemmas in coaching scenarios.
  • Create comprehensive training programs that outline clear goals, structured weekly plans, and appropriate progressions for beginner golfers.
  • Use teaching assessment tools to evaluate personal coaching effectiveness and implement strategies for continuous improvement.
  • Deliver clear, concise instructions and feedback tailored to the learning styles of beginner golfers.
  • Design and implement training sessions that prioritize the safety and inclusive participation of all beginner golfers. 
Evaluation Method 
The evaluation process is designed to assess a coach’s ability to effectively instruct beginner golfers through three key components. The Make Ethical Decisions (MED) Module & Evaluation is completed online through the Coaching Association of Canada. Additionally, participants will submit a portfolio, which includes a 30-minute video lesson demonstrating their coaching abilities. Each component will be assessed individually, and successful completion of all components is required for certification. After submission, learners will have a debrief call with their evaluator.

 

Evaluation Methods

The Instructor of Beginner Golfers Evaluation is comprised of 3 components ; the Make Ethical Decisions Evaluation, A Portfolio and a 30 minute video lesson. You can begin the evaluation at any time after you've attended the in-person training.
