Notice to Trainers
If you hold a current Hockey Trainer Level 2 certification, you do not need to retake Level 1.

If your card is due to expire August 31, 2008, please be sure to photocopy your Level 2 qualifications (Basic First Aid and CPR) and send to the ODHA office BEFORE it expires. You also need to send in a $10 administration fee and include your trainer number or send in a photocopy of your old card.

How to Become Certified as a Trainer

To be a team  trainer, everyone needs to take the standardized Level 1 Hockey Trainers Certification Program.

The Ottawa Sting requires trainers to have Level II certification.

To find a course, go to the ODHA website  under "clinics" then "trainer".  

Here's the link: http://www.odha.com/Pages/Clinics/Trainers.php

You can take any course offered.

If you are a doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, other health care professional, police, fire fighter and/or certified in First Aid and CPR, then bring your qualifications to the course. Show them to the instructor and this will make you certified as Level 2.

 

Otherwise, if a Level 2 course is not being offered, you need to take your First Aid and CPR and send it in to the ODHA office with the administration fee (currently $10). Go to the ODHA website and look under Trainer FAQ for further information.

Then before your Level 1 expires in 3 years be sure to send in your updated First Aid and CPR information with the administration fee and you will not need to re-do Level 1. Your trainer registration will be extended to the date of expiration of your First Aid and CPR.
