What Happens in the Career Coach Master Professional Certification Program

The Career Coach Master Professional Certification Course is an online learning course with one optional assignment and one required assignment described below in the “ASSIGNMENTS” paragraphs. Students must earn a passing grade to successfully complete the course and receive their Master Career Coaching Professional (MCCP) certification.

Like IAP Career College’s basic courses, this part-time online certification course is self-directed, which means you may study and complete the assignments at times that are most convenient for you from the comfort of your own home.

The Career Coach Master Professional Certification Course has a recommended completion date of 12 weeks from the starting date or 120 hours. However, you may choose to complete the Career Coach Master Certification Program in as little as 4 weeks or as long as 24 weeks, depending on your schedule.

Throughout the course you can receive up to three hours of personal teaching assistance or professional mentorship from a faculty member. That’s up to one half hour per week for 6 weeks with personal attention from a professional mentor.

Although experienced career coaches may find it is possible to successfully complete the Career Coach Master Professional Certification Course without assistance from a faculty member, it is recommended that you take advantage of this resource to receive maximum value from this certification course.

The required assignment is a Master Project which demonstrates the student’s professional skills. Evaluated on a pass/fail basis, the Master Project consists of a written paper and, depending on the topic, may be supplemented by other materials such as video, before and after photographs, or client testimonials.
