As of 2004, the Canadian Fencing Federation is implementing a new coaching development program under the CBET (Competency Based Education Training) model. However the CFF has been slow to provide detailed information of how the new system works. We at the UCFC strive to make the mysterious culture of fencing as clear as possible, so here then, is a basic explanation of the new four-level system for your convenience.
| Level | French Title | English Equivalent | Identifying Traits |
| 1 | Aide Moniteur | Target Dummy | If the Maître is demonstrating a bone-shattering fléche to the knee, this is probably the poor bastard on the receiving end. He is learning the first lesson of coaching – humility – by standing still while someone beats the stuffing out of him. |
| 2 | Moniteur | Approachable One | Has a good technical knowledge of the sport, but usually defers questions to the Prévôt. In a free-fight, will beat you by a small margin, but will insist he isn't very good. Most comfortable when teaching from behind the mask. |
| 3 | Prévôt | Mr. Know-It-All | Will tell you his opinion of everything, and irritatingly, is usually right. Technically is pretty good, but has forgotten the lesson he learned as an Aide Moniteur. Takes a little too much delight in whooping the less experienced fencers during free-sparring. |
| 4 | Maître d'Armes | He Who Is Wise | Surprisingly fast for a man with a pot-belly, the Maître shows absolute control over the weapon. Will give himself completely to students who train sincerely, but will readily spit in the beer of those who don't try very hard. Relaxes by beating the Prévôt 15-0 to the riotous cheers of the rest of the club. |
