Common Questions
Do Basic, Executive, and VIP lead to different certifications?
No. All three lead to the same CLNC® credential. The difference is how much mentoring and business development support comes with it.
Which level should I choose?
Basic works if you're comfortable building your caseload on your own with monthly mentoring. Executive and VIP add structured marketing and report writing apprenticeships for consultants who want more hands-on guidance getting started.
Is job placement included with certification?
There's no formal placement service. What's included is ongoing mentoring, a directory listing, marketing tools, and, in Executive and VIP, structured apprenticeships to help you build your own caseload.
What if the program isn't the right fit for me?
Every level is backed by a 30-day guarantee. If it's not right for you, you get your money back.
Can I finance my certification?
Yes. Career loans are available through Sallie Mae. If you would like to apply for a Sallie Mae Smart Option Student Loan® for Career Training, please call 713.942.2200 or apply online.
Can I upgrade from Basic to a higher level later?
Yes. You can upgrade at any time. You'll just pay the difference between the original purchase price and the system you would like to upgrade to when you're ready.
