Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

I am having a full time job and may not have time to attend classes. What is the time commitment for the 12 month course?

The main time commitment for the course consists of three weekends of which Phase 1A & 1B are both from Friday evening to Sunday evening and Phase 2 is from Saturday morning to Sunday evening. As for the two Phase 3 assignments, you have the freedom of choosing any two days in the span of nine months to be involved.

 

What will I get at the end of the course?

There are two certificates that will be given out – one from Quest which is awarded upon completion of Phase 2 and from IPMA which is awarded upon fulfilment of Phase 3.

 

How recognised is the IPMA cert?

The IPMA cert is a Certificate for Competency. It is not a diploma or degree certification. In this light, the recognition is based on organisations’ nature of business. More info on IPMA is available at www.ipma.co.uk.

 

I cannot not make it for Phase 1B so what should I do?

Should you not be able to attend any of the phases, you are entitled to join the next intake at no cost for the phases you missed. The only requirement is that the sequence of 1A and 1B must be followed. You are however allowed to attend Phase 2 before Phase 1.

 

Will I have training opportunities from Quest?

The selection of trainers is based on two key criteria – Knowledge of subject matter and Competency level of delivery. As long as these are satisfied, CPT will be eligible for selection for training.

 

How do I know if the course is worth my investment?

Whether or not the course is worth the investment highly depends on two factors. First it is the personal goal which defines what you wish to get out of the course. If you would like to have a change in career, this course provides you with the necessary tools and contact to get there. Secondly, it depends on your diligence. The pro-active nature of you will enable you to move forward faster into what you want to do.

 

Who are the trainers and coaches?

The master trainer is KC See, CEO of Quest Group. He personally conducts majority of the training. The team of coaches are CPT graduates who are from various backgrounds in the training profession.

 

How much do I get paid when I train for Quest?

If the contents are from Quest, the average daily training rate is USD 300-600. If it is your own content, the rate is USD 600-1000. These rates may vary from regions to regions as well as the level of difficulty in the subject.

 

Are there many written papers involved?

While there are classes and assignments involved, the CPT course is a highly practical and non-academic based programme. The only written papers are usually only about 100 words per report.

 

Where (countries) do I get my support from?

The CPT programme is being offered in Singapore/Malaysia, China and the latest being Indonesia. You may get training support and opportunities in these regions as well as other places where Quest has businesses in.

 

Are there any other hidden or additional costs involved in order to fulfil this course?

You can be assured that the investment has already covered all the expenses. Please take a copy of the full investment list for reference. The only possible additional cost is the upgrading of room which is a third party expense to the hotel.

 

Is the seven days cooling period for 100% refund guaranteed?

Yes it is guaranteed. The discount is only given for applicants who take a step to make a commitment on the day of the course introductory talk. However we understand that some may have to check their schedules or consult their spouse etc, and hence we give a buffer time for them to do that without risking being penalised.

 

Which area(s) of training should I train others in?

Applicants with different areas of subject interest are welcome to join the course, as it does not cover specific subject matter, but the core skills of training to help them become a professional trainer.

 

Can I be a trainer if I have no qualifications?

Yes, there are no pre-requisite criteria such as degree or diploma. However, all participants should have a passion to share and a teachable spirit.
