ADMISSIONS POLICY

This certificate program is for mature, self-directed adults who hold a graduate level degree.  Applicants need strong interpersonal relationship skills and communication skills.  Ideal applicants will have had significant professional experience.  The ability to process complex information and "think on one's feet" is essential.  Prerequisites include attendance in at least three in-person workshops and an acceptable application.  Occasionally candidates are not accepted into the program due to the faculty committee's determination that the candidate is not an appropriate match for our program.  As space can be limited in the courses early application is advised.

*The College of Executive Coaching reserves the right to modify requirements and fees although once a participant has been accepted into the certificate program the requirements for certification are guaranteed not to change for that participant.

STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION

The College of Executive Coaching does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission procedures and any other programs.

FEES AND ACCEPTANCE POLICIES

After the prospective trainee completes three in-person workshops they are invited to submit an application for the certificate program with a $100.00 application fee.  This application fee is refundable, less a $30.00 processing fee, if the application is not accepted. The fees for the entire certification program are variable depending on the courses selected by the trainee.  For informational purposes the student may estimate the cost of the program by adding up the cost of the individual workshops, application fee and the individual coaching labs (the Individual Coaching Labs are $135.00 per lab and the Competency Feedback Seminar is $395.00).  The approximate tuition for the complete 72 hour Certification Program is $3,900 and may be higher or lower depending on specific courses you choose to enroll in.

The regular refund and cancellation policy applies as described elsewhere in College of Executive Coaching literature unless otherwise stated.

PROGRAM LENGTH

The certificate program can be completed in seven months and is normally completed within an eighteen month period.

The right to refuse service is reserved.
