Pre "B" Assessment Course
The Pre “B” Assessment was designed with the Provincial “B” Licence course in mind. It is for those coaches who plan to attain a higher certification level at the Provincial or National level.
The Pre "B" technical assessment is four days in duration with a minimum of 8 hours per day.
This assessment provides coaches with a better idea of what to expect at the Provincial “B” Licence level. This is not an accreditation course nor a coaching licence -- no diplomas or certificates are issued; however, candidates will be given feedback and may receive a recommendation to proceed to a Provincial "B" Licence course.
After successfully completing the Pre “B” Assessment, a 1-year practical component will apply (i.e., a coach may apply to attend a Provincial "B" Course one year from their successful completion date).
It is important that coaches have the opportunity to put what they have learned to practice and it is through this practical application that coaches should be able to achieve an experienced comfort level so that when they attend the Provincial "B" Licence Course it is within an environment that is familiar to them.
Throughout this process, candidates will be given both verbal and written feedback. Verbal feedback will be in the form of group and individual feedback, and a final individual written assessment and result will be mailed following the course.
The final written results will either recommend the coach to attend a Provincial “B” Licence Course or it will recommend that the Pre “B” Assessment be re-taken.
Pre-requisites to Apply
- Completed 30 Hours Community Coaching Course (Soccer Technical) or
- Former / Active Canadian Professional Player (Written verification from Provincial Technical Director)
- Written Approval from the Director Technical (OSA) is required
