We have start dates in January, March, May, July, September, and November. You can enroll at anytime, and here are the benefits of enrolling well in advance of each start date:

1) Get A Head-Start: Once you enroll, you are given immediate access to our Core Training video series that will help you quickly master the basics of coaching. Reviewing this before your first module will allow you to show up feeling more prepared and confident in your understanding of coaching principles.

2) Meet Your Peers Ahead Of Time: Once you enroll, you can join our weekly Practice Coaching calls and connect with other coaches like you, that way you see familiar faces by the time you get to you first weekend training module.

3) Have Your Manuals: Once you enroll, we ship out hard copies of your manuals. Having these with you during first module will ensure you can follow along seamlessly with the training materials and reference them whenever needed.

We have live calls every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We offer daytime and evening options so they are accommodating to different time zones. You will also participate in three half-day weekend modules that occur every two months, serving as checkpoints in the certification process.

You can anticipate devoting about 3-5 hours per week to the program. If you ever need to "pause" your participation in the Academy, we will support you in getting caught up to speed once you are ready to come back into the classroom.

The certification process takes approximately 6 months. Also, over 50% of our students enroll paying clients within a couple months after their first module.

Even after you are certified, you still benefit from your lifetime access to all our training calls.

(If you want to get certified faster, we offer an Accelerated Track. Upon enrollment, let our team know if you'd like to join this track. The Accelerated Track is designed for those who prefer more independent learning, with less community interaction and group work. While this track allows you to complete your certification more quickly, most students find that the connections and collaboration in the Signature Track help them grow their coaching business faster.)

Discussing this opportunity with your partner can be challenging, but here are some tips to navigate the conversation about coach training:

1) Express Your Passion: Share why a career in coaching means a lot to you. Highlight the ways it can benefit your relationship or family, such as providing financial freedom or more quality time with your kids. Help them see the positive impact this opportunity can have on your shared goals and dreams.

2) Seek Belief in You: Instead of asking for permission or convincing them about coaching, ask for their belief in you. Frame it as an invitation for them to support you on a deeper level. Emphasize that this is about personal growth and a shared journey that can strengthen your connection.

3) Share Success Stories: If your partner is looking for concrete evidence, feel free to share success stories from other students who have benefited from the program. This can provide tangible examples of the positive outcomes of coach training.

Remember, sometimes we need to make decisions for ourselves even if our loved ones aren't immediately on board. It can be tough, but pursuing your dreams is essential for creating the life you want.
