Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
Professionals interested in both the business and technique of executive function coaching as a part-time or full-time career.
What is it, exactly?
Six, 60 - 120 minute classes, led by executive function coach, Sean McCormick, the founder of Executive Function Specialists, which results in a certificate of completion (see below for course overview details).
Where are the classes?
The classes are recorded.
Throughout the year, I do lead live classes (See dates in this article).
Please note, if you enroll in the 90-day program you will only be able to access the live classes if they fall within your 90 days of access.
After enrolling, you will receive access to the official course overview, which has all the meeting links, slide decks, and course resources.
Do I get a profile listed on the directory upon completion?
Yes! All enrollees who complete the certification can create a directory listing on this page.
How does it work?
The course is taken self-paced by watching the class recordings and completing additional pre and post-class work.
If a live cohort is in session, you have the option of joining the live classes rather than watching the recordings (and vice versa).
If a live cohort is scheduled, you will see the dates in this article above.
Once all modules are completed, you will receive your certificate.
What if I can't make this one?
If you can't make this one click here to get updates (Dates TBD).
Are There Payment Plans Available?
We offer payment plans through Affirm, AfterPay, and Klarna at checkout.
Is This Course Designed for Launching My Own Practice?
Absolutely. This course prepares you for a full or part-time career in EF coaching, independent of any organization.
How long do I have access to course materials?
You will be provided with a comprehensive course workbook that you can save forever, which includes all the slide decks for each meeting.
You will have access to the course content and community membership on Skool for 90 days from the date of your sign-up.
You can extend your access to all course materials, including course content access and more by purchasing a membership or 1:1 coaching.
Note: If you were previously enrolled in the certification course, then you can extend your course access to 1-year by enrolling in the membership. If you were not previously enrolled in the certification course, then enrollment in the membership does not give you course access, only community membership access.
Do you have a course that is JUST focused on coaching? Not sure if this is right for my special education teachers...
Check out the Semester Success Blueprint course. This is a shorter course designed to be completed by educators and students TOGETHER.

About Me
Hey! I'm Sean 👋
I'm a former public school special education teacher who realized that executive function skills are more important than knowing when George Washington crossed the Potomac.
Since then, I've made it my mission to teach anyone who will listen about how to develop these key life skills.
In 2020, I founded Executive Function Specialists to ensure all students with ADHD and Autism have access to high-quality online executive function coaching services. We offer online EF coaching and courses to help students and families.
Realizing I could only reach so many people through coaching, in 2021 I started the Executive Function Coaching Academy which trains schools, educators, and individuals to learn the key strategies to improve executive function skills for students.
In 2023, I co-founded of UpSkill Specialists, to provide neurodivergent adults with high-quality executive function coaching services.
When not pursuing my passions through work, I love spending time with my family, getting exercise, and expanding my brain through reading. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
