FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General Faq

1. What is Coaches' Tool Chest (CTC)?

CTC is a web-based certification program. It can be custom designed to provide your athletic coaches the ability to complete all their certification requirements in a single place. Example topics that can be included are: First Aid, CPR, AED training, Coaching Fundamentals and Mental Health Training. We build the platform to meet the requirements of your state or association. We can also add content to meet unique school or district requirements.

2. Can an athletic administrator access information or completed certificates?

Yes. We provide a login for District Administrators to check the status of coaches testing or download a copy of the coach's certificate. We also link directly with FinalForms.

3. How is the content for the modules developed?

We work with the best in the business! Our medical content is created in collaboration with Cincinnati Children's Medical Center (2023 US News and World Report #1 Children's Hospital in the USA). Our coaching skills content is created through our partnership with Michigan State University's Institute for Youth Coaching. All of the content is written through the lens of a coach.

4. We are a youth group - do you have training to cover our coaches?

Yes, we have worked with youth groups to create specific content for volunteer youth coaches who need to start with the basics.

5. In our state, coach education is mandated by the Department of Education or the Department of Health. Can you work with those groups to get approval for this training?

Yes. We will work directly with representatives from the appropriate government agencies to ensure 100% compliance for coaches. We want to ensure coaches have a true one-stop-shop for their mandated training. This approach saves the coach, athletic administrator, and district personnel time and resources, year after year.

6. Can I get an example of what a custom platform could look like?

Yes. We will build you an example, at NO CHARGE, and present it to you for feedback. We do not want you to commit to something until you are sure it meets ALL of your training needs in one platform.

7. What is the cost on an ongoing basis?

Every situation is different in terms of the number of modules, how often a coach needs training BUT our goal is that we will be more cost effective than the current method you are using. We will show the numbers!
