The training of coaches for synchronized swimming uses the National Coach Certification Program that is currently moving towards a new NCCP.  The new NCCP model is made up of three streams and a total of eight contexts, each with its own coaching requirements. Synchro Canada is responsible for identifying how many of the eight contexts are relevant to their sport.  As such Synchro Canada has identified a coach development model.

The new NCCP provides for training and evaluation of coaches at all levels.  Coaches can take courses that cover information on the training outcomes for their applicable level and a coach is then evaluated on that training outcome.
