Admission Steps
1. Complete Application. The admissions process begins with completing our online application. If you want to meet with one of our education consultants before completing your application, you can request a consultation by sending an email to core[at]efficioeducation.com.
2. Refundable Enrollment Deposit. Once you’ve completed your application, you will be asked to process a non-refundable enrollment deposit of $150. Your enrollment deposit holds your spot in your chosen cohort, applies toward your full investment for the program if you move forward, and covers your admission orientation and advising. Please note that your enrollment deposit does not mean you’re legally responsible for investing in the full program.
*3. Admission Orientation and Business Analysis. Once you confirm with your advisor that you would like to move forward, you will have the opportunity to choose your payment plan during your admission orientation session. Once you have completed your admission orientation, we will conduct a business analysis to help you prepare for the first few months of work.
*4. Meet Your Education Team. Once you’ve completed your admissions and analysis, you will be assigned your education team (coach, consultant, strategist) that will work with you during the program orientation and ramp-up.
*Admission steps three to four will take approximately two weeks upon receipt of your completed application and deposit.
Begin Program! Once you’ve completed the admission steps above, you will attend the CORE24 program orientation, where you will prepare for strategic work, access the Education and Learning portal (ELP), receive your materials, and set up your education calendar to include a 10-15-week ramp-up schedule. Your ramp-up schedule will include:
- Training sessions and coaching to begin organizing your documentation strategy.
- Defining your education work schedule so that you can implement what you’re learning.
- You will access the curriculum, resources, and development tracks found in our ELP. This online portal will also provide access to your peers to share ideas and network.
- You will schedule your credential interview to decide if the credential track fits best with your business and your goals.
- You will plan for events, training, and courses needed to complete your program.
