The Counselor Training Program is a professional development and learning community that equips college counselors with the tools, skills, and resources they need to more confidently guide students through the college application process. 

The program is taught through a combination of 60-min workshops, 4-week courses, practicum sessions with other counselors taking the course, plus collaborative discussion in the learning community.

It is, as far as I know, the most comprehensive professional development program of its kind and unlike anything else that exists for college counselors and educational consultants.

When checking out, please select which track you'd like to attend for the Personal Statement and College Application Courses. 

Foundational Track live session time: 4-5:30pm PT (7-8:30pm ET)

What People Are Saying About CEG:

In the morass of college admissions, the College Essay Guy explains it all in a way that's amazingly attainable!

Barbara P.

There are a lot of myths about what makes a great essay and an equal number of approaches that sound good but don't work. I had already adopted many of CEG's approaches to the whole essay process and found them to be invaluable. The course helped me find even a deeper understanding of the essay process and how to use the tools that Ethan has developed.
