1. FRC Certified Coach: As a FRC Certified Coach, you will work with FRC on a contractor basis. As a 1099 contractor you can develop your own Coaching Business as well as work with FRC’s clients. FRC clients vary across the country and have various rules and regulations we must follow along with FRC’s individual rules and regulations. To become a FRC Certified Coach, students must accept our background disclosure and allow FRC to conduct a basic background check. Background checks are used to advise FRC in what clients (departments or individuals) the FRC Certified Coach is eligible to work with. In the event that a background check produces adverse information that does not comply with the client standards, students will be advised and alternate options will be provided before finalizing enrollment. 

    

2. Certified Life Coach by FRC (Department Authorized): A Certified Life Coach by FRC is an individual who is seeking certification credentials to support their current role within their organization or agency. The individual is not seeking alternative clients through FRC, and their primary clients will be peers, or individuals within their organization. The information within the Coach Certification Course will assist the student in building relationships, supporting individual growth, assisting in personal and profession growth for individuals, and being an accountability agent to help support clients or their peers in achieving their potential. A Certified Life Coach by FRC does not require a background check because the individual is not seeking to work outside of their department or agency.
