Club Officer Training (COT)

COT

 

Why is Attending Club Officer Training So Important?

Attending COT as a Club Executive is one way to contribute towards your club’s Distinguished goals in education, membership and leadership. Club officer training is a key component of the DCP, with specific requirements for attendance and participation.

To earn DCP points, clubs must have a minimum of four out of seven club officer positions trained in both rounds of training offered each year. 

Only Program Quality Director recognized training will be credited. 

  • Round 1 - June 1, 2025 to August 31, 2025
  • Round 2 - November 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026

Club officer training will be posted as the Districts list them in their event calendar. Please check back regularly for additional dates.

Did you know that Club Officer Training (COT) is not limited to District 21 training only?

All Toastmasters that are club officers in 2025-2026 are welcome to attend any training sessions with other Districts. It can be enlightening to see how other Districts and club officers operate. 

To ensure you and your club gets credited for the training

  • When registering, make sure you let them know you are from District 21.
  • Take a screenshot of your training session for proof of attendance and submit to Melody Helleouet, Program Quality Director for 2025-2026 to pqd@d21toastmasters.ca to receive your training credit along with the below information:
    • Your Name
    • Club Name
    • Your Club Officer Role
    • Date you attended training

If you want to have your TLI or COT listed, please contact Melody Helleouet, Program Quality Director 2025-2026 at pqd@d21toastmasters.ca or call/text at (604) 657-5355. 

If someone from outside of the District attends your TLI/COT or COT, please email the Program Quality Director (PQD) of the District they are from so they can record the training credit.
