Design of the Learning Process.
The RCS certification course consists of 8 learning modules that contain 4-5 lessons in each module. To complete a lesson, the student must listen to a 15-20 minute audio lesson and complete the learning exercises. After all the lessons are completed, the student will take an open book test and submit their answers to the RCS office.
A Zoom call will then be scheduled between the student and an RCS certified coach to talk through their answers and answer any of their questions. Once completed, the student will be approved to sign up to take the next learning module. The student is free to work at their own pace. Upon completion of all 8 modules, the student will receive a signed certificate stating that they are officially certified in the Real Coaching Success method of coaching.
