I present to you...............

The National Coaching Accreditation Course Level 1 (NCAP)

The course I've been busy with the past one month ever since i touched down in Singapore. A cert required by MOE if you wanted to coach in schools in future. (Yes, I literally chiong-ed to class the moment I touched down at Changi Airport....)

For 3 times every week the past one month, I've been diligently heading down to Bouna Vista to attend 3 hour classes on how to be a better coach. No life this past month. Initially, was a little worried that the classes were going to be dry as everyone I spoke with so far have told me the classes were really boring and super draggy and all they did was sleep or stone in class. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the lessons actually turned out quite interesting and useful in the practical aspects of coaching. Although the focus was on sports and not so much on dance...I managed to pick up quite a few pointers that were still helpful and could be applied to how I handled students and conducted classes. A very good plus point of the course was that they provided hot coffee and tea with a light meal halfway through class. The breaks turned out to be the highlight of class and the hot drinks were always very welcomed especially with the rainy chilly nights the past week! :P

Got to know a few swimming instructors and other people from the different walks of life. One guy even coached MotorCross Biking and Skydiving!

And now after 9 sessions, its EXAM time! Tonight 730-830, we sit for an open book paper and after that, it marks the end of the course!! Yay!! Unless *choy choy choy* you fail the exam la....then you have to resit the paper! If you fail again, you have to resit the entireeeee course! And the cycle goes on this way until you pass.

I should pass la hahaha. I think. I better pass!

Now to go sit down and run through the notes and highlight the important sections! Man , I haven't "studied" in ages....

Results updated in a month's time. Cheer me on peoplez!
