| | | GCDF FAQ-TRAINING REQUIREMENT |
| | 1. | I have been employed in the career development field for several years but have not completed any specific coursework or training. Where can I get the required training for the credential?
To view the complete listing of CCE approved training providers, select the country from the country-specific certification menu on the GCDF homepage, and then click on the training button in the top menu. |
| | 2. | I work full time and don't feel I have the time to be in a classroom for training. What are my options?
Several approved training providers offer flexible schedules including intensive weekend-only options. CCE has also approved a comprehensive distance learning curriculum and several distance/classroom hybrid curricula. Check with approved trainers in your country to learn more about what options are available. |
| | 3. | I have many years of career development related experience but have not completed the training course. I would like to obtain the certification now. Is there another application option?
You may apply for provisional status if you have met the education and experience requirement, but have not yet completed the 120 hours of training in the GCDF competency areas. All requirements must be met within two years of the date provisional status is granted. |
| | 4. | I completed the training course last year but have not applied for certification. Am I still eligible to apply?
Yes, there is no expiration date on the training course. We do need to verify that the instructor is an approved GCDF instructor, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. |
