The cost for the Professional Coach Advocate Certification Program is affordable, and is determined by your PCA Instructor. This one-time fee includes everything mentioned above. After the first year, there is a nominal renewal fee. This fee covers your continued membership in the PCA Network and your certification renewal. Unlike some certifications that require you to take multiple-choice exams and repeat trainings every couple of years in order to re-certify, our model is based upon continuous improvement. By simply participating in The PCA Network on a regular basis, your certification will stay current!

Other than a sincere interest in your own personal enhanced performance in work and life and of those around you, no special requirements are necessary. However, in order to maintain your PCA after the first year, ongoing participation in The PCA Network is expected.

The Coaches Registry has a national network of individuals who are uniquely and exclusively qualified to administer the Professional Coach Advocate (PCA) Certification Program. Contact us and we will assist you in finding the best instructor for your specific needs.

MA PCA Instructor is an individual who has completed the Coaches Registry’s Instructor Training Program and is thereby qualified to deliver the Professional Coach Advocate (PCA) workshop and award our national certification, the Professional Coach Advocate (PCA). The PCA Instructor is truly a facilitator of a thoughtfully created curriculum. Therefore, no additional expertise is required.

There are many benefits of joining The Coaches Registry as a PCA Instructor. First, you will be added to the industry’s first and only national registry for professionals dedicated to delivering the PCA Certification Program. This will give you distinction among your colleagues and enhance your credibility among those you serve.
Second, PCA Instructors deliver the Professional Coach Advocate (PCA) Certification Program to participants, potentially generating revenue doing so. You can charge a participation fee for delivering the program to individuals and/or organizations. You can also offer the program as part of something bigger, such as a weekend retreat or group of wellness/life coaching sessions. For example, let’s say that you would like to offer the PCA Certification Program to an organization for 20 people. You begin by purchasing participant certification packets from The Coaches Registry for $25.00 each (includes the participation guide, workshop, certification process, and one-year membership in the PCA Network).
Next, you deliver the half-day training program to your group, charging a fee that you determine appropriate. For example, if you charge $79.99 per person (20 people total), you will generate just about $1,600.00!
Finally, through participation in the online PCA Network (explained below), you will have ongoing contact with those you’ve trained and certified, providing a platform for nurturing lifelong and sustained relationships.
Please note that this program does NOT certify you as a professional coach. Resources for becoming a certified professional coach are provided a the end of this guide.

First, attendees participate in the four-hour initial workshop, delivered by you. During this time, they utilize the proprietary Rating of Perceived Coachability (RPC) tool, and ultimately assess themselves (with your professional guidance) in ten dimensions of coachability.
Next, participants logon to the PCA Network, register, enter their RPC scores, and receive their PCA certification.
Finally, attendees participate in a number of engaging activities and enjoy dialogue (on our forum) with fellow PCA certified individuals (and instructors) on the PCA Network. They also are encouraged to review their RPC scores and, on a monthly basis, make any changes to them. Monthly self-paced participation in the PCA Network allows participants to keep their certification renewed year after year.
As you can see, the entire process is based upon a model of continuous improvement. It also utilizes an authentic self-assessment process. Additionally, the power of social media is realized through ongoing dialogue between certified individuals and their instructor.
