Continuing Coach Education (CCE) Programme
The Continuing Coach Education (CCE) programme gives coaches the platform to continually upgrade themselves in their area of coaching through renewing or upgrading their NROC membership.
NROC Membership
NROC membership is valid for 3 years, during which coaches are expected to accumulate minimum learning hours in 2 main areas:
- Coaching practice and
- Coaching education
There are 4 types of NROC membership status:

We may request for coaches to furnish information related to the course content and articulate its application to their coaching practice for us to evaluate its suitability as a CCE activity. Before taking the course, we would strongly encourage coaches to submit the course information to us, so that we would be able to advise whether the course can be considered as a CCE activity.
