The program consists of five 2-hour classes once a week. Four classes are centered on the Core Competencies (CC) and one class is focused on business/Resource Development (RD.) Toward the end of the course, participants must complete an hour's worth of coaching practicum outside of class (two 30-minute practice sessions.) Students MUST obtain "client" permission to record and/or take notes during the practice session. The participant will be responsible for recording or producing those notes, and a 1-hour 1:1 critique with the instructor will be rendered on the participant's coaching technique. The final class meeting will focus on business building and resource development. The goal is to discuss how to further determine one's niche, marketing tactics, and steps to get started in business and/or independent contracting as soon as desired.
