Items 4 and 5 will be a brief review of your resume and goals and an opportunity to express any questions or comments you may have via a two-way communication with your Certification Director.
If you pass all elements of the final check-out you will then be issued your diploma and added to the New MTMCA Certified Coaches Member List on MTM-U.com. in the unlikely event that you fail to pass the check-out, you will be redirected to CoachTube with targeted instructions for restudy and re-evaluation.
