Priority Registration List We hate spam as much as you do, and will never rent or sell your personal information to an unauthorized 3rd party. Lastly, ever since we closed the doors last month, questions have been POURING in from interested coaches. You can find answers to the most frequently asked questions below.
>> Frequently Asked Questions << QUESTION 1: "What type of information is covered?" ANSWER: You'll discover just about EVERYTHING you need to know to become a more confident, more effective, and more respected coach. The certification program is broken down into 8 courses: * Coaching Philosophy and Ethics Every course is set up as an "interactive learning experience"... so you actually learn by doing. You'll go through scenarios, face real coaching challenges, then get feedback on how you performed.
ANSWER: For starters, sports organizations across the country are now requiring coaches to receive training in the fundamentals of coaching. Even if your organization or state doesn't require it, your certification will boost your credibility, increase your confidence, and give you a valuable, nationally recognized credential that proves your commitment to your coaching role.
ANSWER: Here's how it works. First, simply enroll through our secure server. All your personal information will be kept 100% confidential and will not be shared with any unauthorized 3rd party. You'll receive a unique login so you can access the course from the comfort of your own home, office, or anywhere you can get online. Second, complete the online course material at your convenience. At the end of each course, you'll need to pass a short exam. Third, once you have completed the requirements of your program, you will receive an official ACA certificate complete with your name and new credential. Simply print the certificate out as proof of your program completion.
ANSWER: Please understand something. The ACA is not doing this to make money. That's why you won't see any cheesy banner ads or annoying pop-ups on our website. For us, it's all about delivering the highest quality coaching education to give our students a competitive "edge" and ensure today's athletes have a fun, positive experience in sport. To do that, we prefer to keep our enrollment levels small and only accept a limited number of students each month. This allows us to focus on meeting the needs of each individual coach. When students graduate through the program, we periodically re-open our doors to take on additional students.
ANSWER: You bet. The American Coaching Academy is a member of the National Council for the Accreditation of Coaching Education (NCACE ). All ACA course material is based on the 2008 National Standards for Sports Coaches. Over 113 sport organizations, colleges, universities and national governing bodies have worked to develop these standards, which outline the scientific and practical competencies that administrators, athletes, parents, and the public should expect from you as a sport coach. We've also gotten glowing endorsements from a "who's who" in the world of coaching education... these guys are like a Jedi Council of coaching, so we were totally thrilled (and blown away) to hear how much they loved the material. Click on the play buttons below to hear what a few of these "gurus" had to say:
ANSWER: There are 8 total courses, and each one is designed to take approximately one hour to complete from start to finish... so a total of around 8 hours. Many of our students work full time in non-coaching jobs, so they complete a couple courses each weekend and are done in less than a month. Others are real "go-getters" and finish the entire program the same day they enroll. You have 60 days to complete the material, and the entire program is done online... so it's totally flexible and up to you.
ANSWER: Yes. After taking the online course you will be able to print out your completion certificate directly from your computer screen. Your certificate will have your full name and date of completion. Click here to see a "spy photo" of the ACA certificate you can receive.
ANSWER: Expensive compared to what? We're talking about a revolutionary program that instantly gives you loads of credibility and a killer credential you can use on your resume. Getting a four year coaching degree at a college or university can cost $25-30K a year. And course material is usually heavy on theory... and light on practical application. Even a basic coaching certificate at those same schools typically runs in the $4000.00 range... and takes up to 12 months to complete. And weekend conferences for certification certainly aren't cheap either. By the time you add in your clinic entry, transportation expenses, hotel, and food, and you're easily talking $700.00 or more. (not to mention the time away from your family) ACA certification won't cost you anywhere close to that. We're even offering several scholarships to reward coaches who take action immediately. And... to make it accessible for ANY coach (even volunteer coaches who don't have a big budget) we're setting up an "EZ payment plan", so you can get started for under $70. We're still working out the final details on the scholarships, so watch your email for more updates in the coming days...
