College/University Course Adoption
Courses available for adoption by colleges and universities include Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid, advanced sport-specific technical and tactical skills courses, and Directing Youth Sports Programs and Officiating Principles courses.
Classroom courses
Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid classroom courses are taught by certified instructors. No additional training is necessary for higher education instructors to become certified. For each course, instructors are provided ancillaries (online instructor guide and video clips) for conducting the course. Students receive the respective textbook (in print book or ebook format) and take the course test online.
Online courses
Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid are also offered as online courses. Advanced sport-specific courses and Officiating Principles are only offered as online courses. All of our online courses include a textbook (print or ebook; varies by course). In addition to reading assignments, the online courses feature video clips, interactive exercises, audio clips, quizzes, and other activities that put the student in real-life practice and game-day situations. Students take the course test online and receive immediate results.
As an online course adopter, your school is provided with a customized portal page on our site (found under the "Organizations" tab) directing your students to the courses needed for your class. You have the option of having your students buy their course materials directly from us through the portal page or having your bookstore purchase online course packages in quantity to sell through the bookstore.

Additional Benefits of Course Adoption
Testing services
Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid online tests are scored electronically; students receive immediate feedback on test results. Students who pass are entered in the National Coaches Registry found on the Human Kinetics Coach Education Center website.
Record keeping through the National Coaches Registry
Students who take our courses are entered in this online registry (unless they elect to opt out). Each student's record contains information on courses taken, test scores, course completion dates, and certifications earned. Students have access to their personal NCR entries and can print and email their course transcripts directly from this area of the site. As an instructor, you have access to your students' records through the NCR. With just a few clicks, you can pull up a roster of students and quickly see who has taken and passed your courses and when. The NCR automates your record keeping for you.
Customized website portal page
With the adoption of our online courses, you'll have a customized portal page directing your students on how to purchase and take the courses. You can use this page to communicate course or unit deadlines to students, provide general contact information, or address questions your students may have.
