Thank you for your interest in the 2023 Facilitating Alabama Career Development (FACD) Training Program. FACD is a customized professional development program designed and delivered by Horizon Point Consulting, Inc. for K-12 career services providers serving Alabama schools.

As a component of Alabama’s state plan for implementing the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V), the Office of Career and Technical Education/Workforce Development and the Instructional Services Section are pleased to offer the Facilitating Alabama Career Development (FACD) Training Program for Administrators, CTE Administrators, CTE Teachers, Curriculum Directors, Counseling Coordinators, School Counselors, Career Coaches, and JAG Specialists.

This signature FACD training course was developed by Horizon Point Consulting, Inc. who are certified instructors for the National Career Development Association (NCDA). NCDA's Facilitating Career Development (FCD) and School Career Development Advisor (SCDA) curriculum is the foundation of our FACD program. The FACD curriculum and training, which typically costs between $1000.00—$2500.00 for each participant per person, is internationally recognized and successful completion leads to professional credentials such as Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP), School Career Development Advisor (SCDA), Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF), and others.

This course is for individuals who are first-time participants who have not completed FCD and/or SCDA training.

Acceptance in the program is by competitive application. Participation in the program requires a commitment to a combination of live virtual training sessions and self-paced eLearning.
