Online Age-Specific Modules
You must complete the modules for the age categories you will be coaching PRIOR to participating with your team or being placed on a roster.

NEW:  On June 4, 2020, USA Hockey announced that it will conduct its Level 1-4 coaching certification clinics virtually until it is deemed safe to host large group gatherings.

A new temporary card is being introduced as a flexible option for coaches to maintain their certification if they are unable to attend virtual coaching clinics due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A new coach can receive a Temporary Card for Level 1 for the 2020-2021 season.  The following year (2021-2022), they will need to attend a Level 1 clinic.

All other coaches will receive a one (1) year extension at the current level that they are at for the 2020-2021 season.  The following season (2021-2022), they must attend the next level up.

If receiving a Level 3, that certification is only good for one (1) year.  If you purchase a temp card you will need to wait until after October 1st, 2020 to attend a virtual clinic, if you see one that you want attend.

To search for a list of courses, click the "USA Hockey Courses" tab at the top left after logging on.

The next level course must be completed on an annual basis until a CEP Level 3 is achieved (Exception: 8U (Mite) division coaches may remain at Level 1 or other certification level, even if expired, until such time as they are coaching any older age level of play).  Once a CEP Level 3 is completed, a Coaching - Level 3 Recertification may be performed via the E-Learning system on an annual basis for two (2) years.

Courses are $50 each.
