The CICNC programs walks you through a system to give clients a strategic advantage. As much as can be anticipated, they will have a game plan to handle it. I, as a coach, have a whole new arsenal of tools to supplement the coaching I've been providing for years. It will surely make a tangible difference in the realms of confidence-building and elevated compensation packages. I pursued this certification to validate things I already knew, but I actually picked up tons of new approaches through the program.

- Brenda M. Cunningham, Push Career Management, LLC

I would highly recommend this class - especially for first time interview coaches. The course provide the tool and resources necessary to build a robust service for clients.

- Laura Johnson

Love this certification! CICNC provides career coaches and their clients with tools and scripts that makes it easier to navigate the difficult journey of negotiating a compensation package. My clients are getting good results thinking beyond salary range and applying CICNC's best practices.

- Paloma Valverde, PhD, CARW, CICNC, CCTC, CHJMC

The course gave me up-to-date information (especially with social media which I did not use before), good resources, and the questions which really need to be posed for interview preparation. I also liked the questions which make clients think about their career choice

- Myriam-Rose Kohn

The CICNC certification class contained so much great information. I have been offering interview coaching for about 2+ years now but I came away from this training with a number of great ideas to make my offering even more comprehensive and effective.

- Denise Bitler

I would [recommend CICNC]! This certification course gave me a new perspective on my interview coaching practice with new information, practice-based examples, and tools that will allow me to redesign this component of my career management work to serve my clients better.

- Norma Dávila

The course covers a broad range of topics and coaching tools, and the participants bring excellent ideas from their experience. Having completed the sessions and homework, I feel confident that I can support my clients with practical examples, insightful ideas, and a variety of coaching questions to help them use their strengths.

- Tanya Mykhaylychenko

I think this program is a great investment for anyone who is new to the coaching space (I include myself here) and looking to broaden and diversify their services into tangential areas that go beyond resume writing. I also imagine that this program would have something valuable for experienced coaches looking to stay up-to-date on current and emerging interview preparation and salary negotiation trends.

- Kate Williamson

The CICNC format of having a series of live classes allows you to learn the material effectively, reflect on it, and ask questions as you go along. - Kelly Donovan

I would recommend colleagues take the CICNC course if they have any desire to add interview prep to their services or if they already provide interview prep coaching and want to up their game. This course is thorough in its offerings and the cohort discussions are truly valuable. I have been providing interview prep coaching for several years, and still learned lots of different strategies.

- Lucie Yeomans

The CICNC course taught a 4-step interview process that will help students build confidence and presence in interviews, and show them ways to research and negotiate competitive salary and compensation.

- Dr. Cheryl Minnick

The course was comprehensive and offered structure and tools to interview and salary negotiation coaching. - Beverly Harvey

Interviewing and the way to approach compensation is changing and this program gives options to help a client to determine what works best for their job search.
