Football Alberta:
- Make Ethical Decisions (MED): all coaches must complete the MED online evaluation within 3 years to remain active in the NCCP. It is free for coaches who received their NCCP number through the Competition Introduction Position course; otherwise the listed fee is $85.
- NCCP Safe Sport e-learning: a free module listed for Novice, Atom, Peewee and Bantam coaches and for high school coaches, alongside Making Headway and Safe Contact.
Football Ontario: the coaching page lists Making Headway in Football as required for all coaches and links to Safe Sport resources, Coaching Safely and Rowan's Law. It does not list a separate Safe Sport course or a screening requirement.
Requirements differ by province and league, so the module list above is what these two provincial bodies publish, not a national requirement.
