Coach Program

GET A COACH Request A Coach
           

All NCP Exam Registrants qualify for a Coach if desired. Coaches may be requested through December of each exam cycle. 

Coaches do not take the place of an exam preparation training course but serve as resources to improve the NCP journey. Your assigned Coach can be asked questions and provide direction but is not responsible for training on subject matter. Coaches are forbidden from discussing specific exam questions and/or content or to answer study questions.

A Coach will typically spend up to 5 hours during the candidate’s exam preparation answering questions about how and what to study, general check subject matter, and the exam experience. Coaches are encouraged to discuss the four main blueprint categories and how to best allocate study time.

Being paired is based on Coach availability. Once paired, reassignment is possible by contacting 214-273-3218 or email ncp@theclearinghouse.org
