For the Training to Practical Competition stage, the evaluation of the coach will be done only if the coach has completed and passed the theoretical and technical components. The trainee must pass an evaluation following the training and submit a portfolio with a correction fee of $150,00 (+trans. fees) and the plan must be submitted within 15 months following the end of the course. If the deadline is not respected, the coach will have to contact the Federation.    

PAYMENT

The passing grade for the evaluation is 70%. The trainee who does not obtain this result will have to retake the theory exam if the score obtained is between 69 and 50%. If the score is less than 50%, the trainee will have to redo the technical training.

In the event that the plan does not conform to the program requirements, the following procedure will have to be applied:

• If the plan requires only minor corrections, the trainee must return the corrected document within one month (free of charge).
• However, if major corrections are necessary and require a third correction, the plan will have to be redone and the fee for this third correction will be $57.49. The candidate will have three months to resubmit the plan.
• If the seasonal plan is not resubmitted on time, a fee of $30.00 will be charged. If the three-month period for the first submission of the plan is not respected, the trainee may request an extension from the Federation. After that, the course must be resumed in its entirety and the related fees paid.

Practical part of the "Train to Compete" course

The "Training to Compete" practical evaluation consists of two parts: an evaluation of a training session of a team at a youth level or higher and the evaluation of a game (also about 4 hours). The fee for this evaluation is $229.95 (100,00$ per evaluation plus tax and covers the evaluation time (approximately 8 hours). Please note that transportation costs ($0.45/km) must also be paid if the person being evaluated and the evaluator each live more than 50 km apart.

Individuals who have successfully completed the first two components of Level 3 are eligible for the practical evaluation and must inform the Federation in writing of the dates and locations of their training sessions and games.
