I've had several people ask what the correct way is to call out that you are certified. The following are different ways to recognize your education.
Name , CNCP (if you just want letters after your name) or Name Narrative Coach Practitioner
Certified through Learning Journeys, The International Center of Coaching
An ICF Level 2 Accredited Coach Education Program
Resume / Bio Line
Certified Narrative Coach Practitioner (ICF Level 2 Accredited Program, Learning Journeys)
