Make Ethical Decision Certification Changes; Update from Softball Canada
For those coaches that plan on attending the Softball Manitoba 2026 Provincials/WCSC/Softball Canada championships and need their "Make Ethical Decision Certification", please see the following email from Softball Canada.
As of April 1, 2026:
- Coaches will no longer have access to the current MED online evaluation module, nor NCCP multi-sport or sport-specific MED training.
- Coaches will be required to access NCCP MED through The Locker. The new eLearning module will feature both the training and evaluation.
- Coaches who have completed MED training and online evaluation will continue to have this indicated on their transcript and will not need to complete the new eLearning module.
- Coaches who are mid-stream - those who have completed in-person training but have not yet completed the online evaluation or are in the middle of the online evaluation -will have until March 31, 2026, 11:59:59 PT to complete the current online evaluation module. o Coaches who do not complete the current online evaluation module by March 31, 2026, 11:59:59 PT will need to complete the entire new eLearning module, which includes both training and evaluation. However, they will not be charged again to access the new module.
- Coaches who previously completed the MED training and online evaluation will not have free access to the new eLearning module and can reference their existing MED Coach Workbook as a resource.
- Coaches who previously (before April 1, 2026) completed only the NCCP MED Online Evaluation and are required to take training to satisfy a training pathway will need to take the new NCCP MED eLearning module. Similar to the current process, they will be required to pay.
- New coaches will be required to complete their training and evaluation via the new eLearning module as of April 1, 2026.
- Once a coach has paid for the eLearning module, they will have the ability to access it at any time via The Locker.
- The eLearning module can be completed via computer (laptop or desktop), tablet, or mobile phone; however, the CAC will work with partners to look at and develop alternative learning methods for those coaches who cannot access eLearning.
