B Licensing ProgramThe B Licensing Program consists of three (3) tiers. The B Pre-Test and B Provincial (B License Part 1) courses are run through the British Columbia Soccer Association, while the B National Course (B License part 2) is run by the Canadian Soccer Association.
Below are course descriptions for the B Licensing Program:
B Pre-TestThe B Pre-Test is a non-certification course that is a mandatory pre-requisite for any coaches wishing to pursue the Canadian Soccer Association’s B License Program. The main purpose of this course is to give coaches the proper methodology needed to detect and correct errors in technical skill development and small-sided game situations. This course does involve some theory components, but is heavily geared towards the ability of the coach to plan and run effective sessions based on pre-selected technical and tactical coaching topics. Successful participants will be eligible to move forward in pursuing B Provincial License certification.

The practical components are heavily geared towards the ability of the coach to plan and implement effective training sessions based on a variety of pre-selected technical and tactical coaching topics.
