The Real Challenge
The committee isn't just reviewing your resume — they're evaluating whether your written narratives and your live responses demonstrate true competence and congruence.
Most chaplains know their ministry. Very few know how to articulate it in the precise language the committee expects across all 29 competencies.
The committee reads your packet before they meet you. If your writing doesn't fully demonstrate a competency, they'll probe it in the interview — and that's when candidates struggle.
Without targeted feedback, chaplains rewrite the same narratives over and over without knowing if they're getting closer to what the committee wants.
How It Works
The Chaplaincy Certification Coach walks you through every competency with targeted feedback and mock interview practice.
Work through each of the 29 BCCI competencies with guided prompts that show you exactly what to address.
Receive specific, competency-by-competency feedback on where your writing demonstrates mastery and where it falls short.
Use the mock committee simulator to practice defending your narratives and closing gaps before the real interview.
Export your polished competency packet and walk into your committee interview knowing exactly what you wrote and why.
What's Included
Built specifically for BCCI board certification — not a generic writing tool. Powered by advanced coaching technology to give you feedback no book or study guide can match.
Every competency organized by domain — ITP, PIC, PPS, and OL — with clear guidance on what each one requires.
Get specific, competency-level feedback on every revision — showing you exactly what's working and what still needs strengthening.
Practice defending your narratives with a simulated committee that challenges you the way the real one will.
Track which competencies are committee-ready and which ones need more work — at a glance.
Download your completed competency narratives in a clean, formatted packet ready to submit to BCCI.
Access your coaching from your phone, tablet, or desktop — wherever you have time to work on your certification.
Tell the app about your ministry setting and religious or spiritual tradition. Every piece of feedback is calibrated to your specific context — not generic chaplaincy advice.
Built by a Chaplain, for Chaplains
"I built this tool because I've been through the board certification process myself. I know the anxiety of staring at a blank page, trying to articulate years of ministry in language the committee will recognize. I know what it feels like to wonder if your writing is actually demonstrating competence — or just telling stories. This app gives you the feedback I wish I'd had."

Preparation timelines vary significantly depending on where you are in your journey. Most candidates spend several months preparing their competency narratives before submitting. The app lets you work at your own pace — some chaplains work through competencies daily, others weekly. There is no rush built into the subscription.
If you have limited time before your committee date, the app is still valuable for targeted feedback on specific competencies. If you need more intensive, personalized support on a tight timeline, our Done-For-You service may be a better fit. Contact us at support@chaplaincoach.org to discuss your situation.
The app is ideal for chaplains who want to work through their materials independently with guided feedback at their own pace. The Done-For-You service is for chaplains who prefer direct, hands-on support from a Board Certified Chaplain — someone who will review your work personally, help assemble your packet, and guide you through the process. Contact us to have a conversation about which option fits your needs.
