In order to be a Certified Executive Coordinator with Market United Kingdom, you must complete a New UnFranchise Owner Training, a Basic 5 Training, and attend and pass the Executive Coordinator Certification Training.
(A) Prerequisites: UnFranchise Owners must have attended a Basic 5 Training and a New UnFranchise Owner Training Completion Certificate to gain admittance to an Executive Coordinator Certification Training.
(B) Required Attendance: Executive Coordinators must attend an Executive Coordinator Certification Training and pass a written test within 28 days of being issued an Executive Coordinator commission, or they shall forfeit subsequent commission until this requirement has been satisfied and submitted to Market United Kingdom by the Certified Trainer who conducted the ECCT. Only ECCTs scheduled and posted on GMTSS online are considered valid.
For partnerships and married couples, it is recommended that all persons involved with the UnFranchise Business attend the ECCT and pass the written test. However, only one of them is required to do so for qualification. Only qualified Certified Executive Coordinators that have personally attended an ECCT and passed the written test are authorised to teach New UnFranchise Owner Training and Basic 5 Training.
(C) Admission Cost: Because the degree of responsibility that Certified Trainers have is so large, and the Certified Trainers are such an elite group of instructors within the Market United Kingdom system, it is only fair that they be compensated for their time and experience. Guidelines for pricing regarding the Executive Coordinator Certification Training are as follows:
(1) The pricing is per person (not per UnFranchise Business or partnership) for an Executive Coordinator Certification Training.
(2) Initial ECCT attendees are those who have never attended an ECCT and passed the test. They must take the ECCT test at the end of the class. If they pass, they get an ECCT Certificate and will be considered a Certified Executive Coordinator (CEC) once the UnFranchise® Level of Executive Coordinator is reached. The fee for an Initial ECCT is £30.00 per person for UnFranchise Owners residing in the United Kingdom.
(3) An ECCT Audit is for UnFranchise Owners that have already attended at least one ECCT and passed the test. They are attending to gain knowledge or to meet UFO or challenge requirements. The test is optional and will not count for or against the UnFranchise Owner, pass or fail. These attendees have passed the test before and are attending to update their knowledge base or fulfil UFO or Challenge requirements. The fee for an ECCT Audit is £15.00 per person for UnFranchise Owners residing in the United Kingdom.
(D) Approved Training: Only authorised and active Certified Trainers may conduct Executive Coordinator Certification Training. To obtain a list of Certified Trainers for a respective area and their location, contact the Local Coordinator, District Coordinator, Regional Director, and/or the National Director of the GMTSS at Market United Kingdom.
