The process outlined below is for NEW facilitators ONLY. If you are a current facilitator, please read here.

One of the most significant roles a CCAR Authorized Facilitator takes on is that of a coach. During the facilitation process, we actively listen, ask good questions, and discover and manage our own stuff, all while treating each participant as a resource. These are the same foundational pillars that we stress to Recovery Coach Professionals... and now, Recovery Coach Professional - Facilitators!

We created the Recovery Coach Professional Facilitator (RCPF) designation to help ensure a high standard for anyone that facilitates CCAR curriculum and to be ever mindful of the role of coaching in the facilitation process.

What is an RCP-F?

• A CCAR Authorized Facilitator who has demonstrated great coaching skills and maintains fidelity during the facilitation process as evidenced by participant feedback and/or an audit of the facilitator’s training.
• A CCAR Authorized Facilitator who has the ability to facilitate available CCAR Training curricula.*
• A CCAR Authorized Facilitator who has and maintains Recovery Coach Professional Designation to demonstrate continued professional development as a coach. You MUST be RCP designated prior to completing the application below.

Note:* Having the ability to train CCAR curricula does not mean a facilitator has to train all curricula.  It also does not include certain curricula still in development.  

An RCPF is NOT:

• A Core Trainer. The Core Trainer role has been discontinued. CCAR is now the only organization authorized to train new CCAR Authorized Facilitators.

How does one become an RCPF?

• Obtains and maintains Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) Designation
• Completes an Authorized Facilitator Application
• Completes the Authorized Facilitator Training
