1 Some seminars within the NOCP Learning Pathways are restricted to selections made by Ringette Canada.

Instructor Facilitators may be asked to participate in Professional Development seminars on an ad hoc basis. Instructor Facilitators may be required to co-facilitate periodically.
Instructor Facilitators must deliver an NOCP seminar once every two years in order to maintain their certification.
