The Gold Standard in Excellence: Why Your Mental Performance Consultant Should be CMPC® Certified
In the pursuit of elite performance—whether on the field, in the boardroom, or on the stage—the margin between success and failure is often mental. At our Center, we believe that your mind deserves the same level of professional expertise as your body.
That is why we prioritize the Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC) credential. As the premier certification in the field, the CMPC® designation ensures you are working with a professional who has met the highest national standards for sport and performance psychology.
What is a CMPC®?
The Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC) is the only NCCA-accredited certification for mental performance consultants in North America. Administered by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), this credential signifies that a practitioner has:
Ethical Commitment: Strict adherence to a professional code of ethics and ongoing professional development.
Advanced Academic Preparation: Mastery of graduate-level sport science and psychology.
Mentored Experience: Hundreds of hours of supervised, hands-on applied work.
Rigorous Examination: Successful completion of a comprehensive national certification exam.
Why Accreditation Matters: The NCCA Milestone
The CMPC® program recently earned reaccreditation from the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). This is a critical distinction for our clients at AZ Neurocenter.
Accreditation by the NCCA—the same body that accredits certifications for nurses, emergency medical technicians, and other vital healthcare roles—means the CMPC® program meets or exceeds nationally recognized standards for:
- Public Protection: Ensuring that practitioners are qualified to provide safe and effective services.
- Validity and Reliability: Confirming that the certification process truly measures professional competence.
- Quality Assurance: Continuous vetting of the program’s integrity and excellence.
- Peace of Mind: The mental tools you or your child are learning are backed by decades of rigorous research-proven methods shown to enhance optimal performance.
