The Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC) Council is a group of volunteers responsible for setting policies and processes that uphold the highest standards for mental performance credentialing. Due to the increased interest in CMPC and volume of applications, the CMPC Council simply is unable to provide individualized assistance such as "soft review" of coursework or evaluation of transcripts at this time. Even if a CMPC Council member did provide a "soft review" it would not be binding until officially reviewed as part of the formal application process. The Council understands that candidates face decisions regarding registering for courses. We strongly encourage CMPC candidates to work closely with an Approved Mentor regarding selecting coursework and mentored experiences.
