Continuing Education

The RRCA Coaching Program is pleased to announce that we are in the process of developing an RRCA Advanced Level Coaching Certification. The requirements for the Advanced Level will include 5 years as an RRCA Certified Coach and 100 Continuing Education Credits (CEC) with 25% of those from RRCA classes. More details will be announced about the Advanced Level as they are finalized.

As a new component to the RRCA Coaching Program and the RRCA Convention, we will host continuing education classes, each worth 4 or more CEC’s. These CEC’s may be applied to the Advanced Level Coaching Certification when it is finalized.

More information will be posted in this section and shared with RRCA Certified Coaches as we continue to develop the Continuing Education Credit offerings.
