Presentations
Over the years, ABOA members have been fortunate to hear some of the best officials in the world give special presentations at clinics, camps, and seminars. None of these presentations have to do with specific rules, but instead teach officials important game management techniques, communication skills, self-awareness, psychology and more.

NOCP
Course Materials & Assessment Tools
Launched in 2007, the National Officials Certification Program (NOCP) was created to assist in the education and development of officials. The NOCP currently consists of five levels; three of which are administered by ABOA, one by CBOC and one by FIBA. The purpose of the NOCP is to assist in the education and development of officials across Canada. Specifically, its goal was to enhance outcomes with respect to rules knowledge, floor mechanics, game management and court presence.
More information is available below about each level and the ABOA specific requirements to achieve certification.
National Officials Certification Program
The National Officials Certification Program (NOCP) is a cooperative effort between Canada Basketball and the Canadian Association of Basketball Officials (CABO)
