The accelerated ICFA program begins with each store identifying a Store Champion who serves as the key contact and lead for training at their company. Each Store Champion monitors staff progress and learns how to engage the associates in reviewing key learning strategies. The Champion devotes 15 minutes per day for one month and Associates study two 15-minute modules per week for 12 weeks. A quiz on the information of each module follows each instruction. Each participant receives a certificate that recognizes completion of the program.
A $400 value, members pay $50 while ICFA covers $350 per participant. This three-month training opportunity is limited to the first 500 registrants signing up by April 15, 2022.
