This course is approved by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners. It is a 55-hour comprehensive coaching education course that, upon successful completion, will provide participants with the essential knowledge and credentials to earn their coaching authorization license. This is a hybrid class, 12 hours of face-to-face classroom and the additional online course work completed at the participant’s own pace. The face-to-face classroom provides a hands-on component so that coaches know what to do in case of an emergency. Participants will learn how to tape an injury or stop a bleed.
At the completion of the course work, participants will take two tests and need an 80% or better pass rate to receive the Coaching Authorization Certificate from IHCC. Once participants pass and receive our certificate, they can complete their application for coaching authorization with the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners, completing all background check forms and submitting all the required fees at www.boee.iowa.gov/licauthorization/coaching-authorization.
Register online for this class at https://ihcc.edu/coaching
The cost of the class is $390 per participant. Credit card payment is required in order to complete the registration.
