We took over the National Skateboard Certification Program (NSCP) in 2010 through our Not-For-Profit Canadian Skateboard Park & School Association from the town of Newmarket Sports & Recreation Department in Canada. We are very grateful for all the work there team researched with special thanks to Janis Luttrell.
Our organization continues to research, update adding new material which it is now evolved as the ISCP (International Skateboard Certification Program) & SKATZ (Stance, Kicks, Axels, Transfers & Zen).
Since the introduction of Skateboarding at the Japan Olympics we are getting daily requests from around the globe to train & certify Skateboard instructors. We are now over 68+ countries, 1,375 cities and growing. Countries, Municipalities, Parks & Recreation Departments, Sports organizations are all reaching out to partner with us to both certify & train Skateboard Instructors.
The ISCP & SKATZ have partnered with CATT (Concussion Awareness Training Tool) to offer a free online certification course to all Instructors/Coaches & Athletes. Which is included in the level 1 course.
