The
Master Federal Career Coach (MFCC) certification
shares the insight and knowledge we have gained over
the past several decades. (See the comprehensive
outline below).
Among other
things, the MFCC certification will provide you with the
knowledge and resources to help shape your clients’
understanding of the federal employment landscape in the
21st Century. Additionally, you will learn
how to determine your clients’ qualifications and coach
them in finding jobs and developing effective
application materials. The “Coach’s Toolbox” will add
huge value and help you to be a more effective coach by
you with powerful, relevant resources such as
job-winning resume samples and templates tailored for
each of the popular online resume systems in use today.
All of this
great information is presented in CPG’s 5-Checkpoint
format, making it easier to read and interpret as each
section builds on the last. Although you can take the
certification at your own pace, the recommended approach
is a 6-week process. Each week, you will cover one
checkpoint and take a quiz to ensure your mastery of the
information. After completing each checkpoint, you will
take the final exam on week six.
As a career
coach, career or guidance counselor, military
readiness officer, or other advisory position
professional, you will encounter clients from a broad
range of professional backgrounds and experience levels,
each on their own path.
But being a Master Federal Career Coach is a career path
too!
Do you want
to learn from the industry leader how to be the best
coach you can be, and how to educate and empower your
clients on navigating today’s federal job landscape to
achieve their own career goals?

answer is yes, then sign up for the new MFCC
