Important: At the end of each module, make sure you save your certificates as PDF Files. Then you can upload them to your Rugby Canada Training profile you created in Step 1.

To enroll in Rugby Canada development sessions/courses, you will be charged a one-time fee of $25.00. This fee contributes directly towards subsidising transportation costs for course facilitators and sustaining our community development model.
Important: registering to coach.rugbycanada.ca does not mean a coach is registered and insured under the Rugby Canada Membership and Insurance Policy. This is explained further in Step 4.
The courses are listed on Rugby Canada’s Training & Education Centre here. Select “British Columbia” and “2023” in the dropdown menus.
There are a number of Course prerequisites that must be completed ahead of completing a Level 1 or Level 2 Coaching Course. Learn more about the required prerequisites on the Rugby Canada website here.
You do not need to take Level 1 to enroll in a Level 2 course.
If you want to work as a Rugby coach in British Columbia, you must register and pay the appropriate Membership fee.
