Q
[General] What is NROC?
A

Sport Singapore created the NROC in 2004 to raise the standard and professionalism of sports coaching in Singapore. It serves to ensure minimum technical qualification of sport coaches, that practicing coaches continue to improve and that coaches provide a safe environment for their athletes.

A provisional membership category was introduced in January 2017 to allow coaches to participate in academic, educational and professional development activities to improve their coaching practice as they work towards completing all requirements of full NROC membership.

Through NROC, Sport Singapore aims to give recognition to coaches who have been certified and deemed competent by a national body. Doing so also allows the public to have easy access to qualified coaches.

[General] What is the difference between provisional and full membership?

At the moment, CCE logbooks can be issued to all NROC coaches if they wish to continue keeping track of their learning and development this way. There is no real need to maintain the logbook as coaches are expected to update their CCE records directly in SportSync before renewing their membership.

You can record CCE learning hours from self-guided learning activities such as watching or reading coaching-related materials, or even conversations with coaches related to coaching, as long as you record any reflection on what you’ve learnt. Each completed reflection activity earns you 1 CCE hour, and please remember a minimum of 12 hours’ worth of attendance-based or course-based CCE is still required.
