Credentialing
Cheer Nova Scotia offers coaches credentialing three times per year, aiming for:
February
May
November
It is the gym owner's responsibility to ensure their coaches are credentialed.
NOTE: CNS will be changing the credentialing sessions to occur TWO times per year in 2025.

The link to register, plus ALL information and requirements are located in the 'Information and Registration Presentation' below.
Note: If there is an abundance of registration, we may ask if you can test outside of these dates. Also, there may be some constraints for the in-person session at CNCC in Truro depending on availability of testers and coaches at the event.
Approximately one-week after registration has closed, check your junk/spam folder for add'l details that will be sent from certification@cheerns.com.
Start your course requirements NOW!! ---> specifically the MED course, which can take several weeks to complete due to manual requirements.

Cheers,
CNS

If you are a prospective coach, being re-certified, leveling up, etc. please ensure you start completing all of the course requirements ASAP. Even if you are only a Coach in Training, these courses are extremely helpful and will help when it comes time to be certified. Ensure you are set up in Sideline and have all documents loaded.
The Making Ethical Decisions course and evaluation should be started immediately as this course has manual requirements that are outside our control.
Our next session is tentatively planned for late May 2024.
If you have any questions regarding the credentialing process, please email: certification@cheerns.com.
Note: Outside of credentialing sessions, the certification email is checked infrequently. During credentialing sessions there is approx. a 24-72 hr delay with responses.
