Goliath Advocacy Academy
The Goliath Advocacy Academy is the credentialing and training home of the COMPASS Framework — a rigorous, human, Anti-CCI certification program for practitioners who are serious about doing this work right.
Seven curriculum modules that don't just teach COMPASS — they challenge how you see your work, your participants, and yourself.
The COMPASS Certified Practitioner designation is earned through 90 days of practice, case record review, and a live practical assessment. It is not a quiz.
Certification is the beginning. The COMPASS Collective is the ongoing community of practice where certified practitioners share, grow, and carry the movement forward.
Each certification level builds on the last — deepening practice, expanding responsibility, and advancing the framework.
The foundation. For direct service practitioners who sit with participants and administer COMPASS.
