NYS Coaching Certification Micro-Credential

GCC's NYS Coaching Certification program bundles four courses, two in health and two in physical education, into a unique micro-credential which is delivered in just 12 credit hours. The program is designed to:

Satisfy the Commissioner of Education's requirements for coaching in NYS, and
