How we work
What we stand for
- Free for childrenThe children's course, puzzles and games stay free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
- Private by designChildren use a first name or nickname only: no accounts, no email addresses and no chat.
- Built with federationsOur course follows the TTDCA programme, and coaching certificates are issued together with national federations.
- Funded by coach toolsClubs and schools pay for coach licences and exam vouchers; that is what keeps the children's app free.

For national federations
Coaching certificates, issued together
The Coach Academy's Certificate of Coaching Competence is issued jointly. In Trinidad and Tobago it is issued by the Trinidad and Tobago Draughts and Checkers Association (TTDCA) and Chippy Technologies Ltd. A national federation that provides exam vouchers for its coaches issues the certificate with us: the certificate names the federation and Chippy Technologies Ltd.
How it works for a federation
- Agree the programme with us. We add your federation to the certificate system.
- Give your coaches vouchers. Each voucher is linked to your federation.
- Your coaches take the course and the exam in the free Coach Academy.
- Certificates name your federation and Chippy Technologies Ltd., with a code anyone can check.
