Why Choose the NRWA's Writing Excellence Training Program? We know that writing an exceptional resume and cover letter is no small feat and earning our certification is even tougher! We created Writing Excellence to give you, the resume writer, the tools you need to earn the NCRW designation – the ONLY industry credential awarded to those whose work is ABOVE AVERAGE. Designed around the latest industry standards and best practices for writing resumes and cover letters and taught by an award-winning Nationally Certified Résumé Writer with 30+ years of experience, this training will guide you through all the steps for creating best-in-class documents. You’ll learn how resumes and cover letters have changed and why; how to assess your client and plan an effective document strategy; how to write compelling marketing copy that showcases your clients’ unique value; how to easily create visually impactful documents—and more!
Is Certification Guaranteed? Although not guaranteed, many Writing Excellence grads have credited this course as instrumental to earning their NCRW and joining the ranks of approximately 75 writers worldwide to hold this prestigious, industry-leading certification. After completing all the requirements of the program, participants submit a final capstone project/writing sample to the Certification Commission for review. If they receive a “Ready” recommendation from the grader, they may immediately register for the final NCRW exam—knowing that they have acquired the tools, resources, and confidence needed to enable their success. Should you complete the program and require additional training and support before moving on to the exam, the instructor and/or Certification Commission will provide you with a list of recommended next steps to further develop your skills. Either way, we guarantee you’ll come away from the program with more tools, resources, and confidence than you did prior to registering.
How Will Writing Excellence Prepare Me for Certification? Ideally suited for professional resume writers with at least 2 years of experience writing resumes and cover letters, this program will guide you through each step of writing best-in-class resumes and cover letters.
