All coaches are required to have their Safe Contact certification and mandated to complete the Safe Contact 2.0 Refresher Course every 5 years after initial certification.
Safe Contact Re-certification
Football Canada in conjunction with the Canadian Football League (CFL), has launched the ‘Safe Contact 2.0’ refresher course.
​
Safe-Contact 2.0 is a less expensive and accessible option for coaches who have already received their Safe Contact certification and are in need of recertification after their 5 year period is up.
​
The goal of this initiative is to make coaching recertification more easily accessible and less financially burdensome on coaches across the country. This course will streamline the process for all current and future coaches needing re-certification.
​
Safe Contact 2.0 is available now via The Locker.
