Become Credentialled as a CDC Certified Divorce Coach®
MORE CREDIBILITY for YOU! This is the ONLY Certified Divorce Coach® Program. The CDC® certification marks are recognized in multiple countries, and we train coaches throughout North America and all around the world. This is the only Divorce Coach certification anywhere in the world and is The Professional Standard for Personal Divorce Coaching™. This program prepares you to have a new professional career.
LIVE TRAINING. Divorce Coaching requires live, interactive, experiential training to be an effective divorce coach. The course is live interactive training and coaching practice on divorce-related scenarios. This is not training to a minimum standard like most other programs – we train to a higher standard.
LEARN from EXPERT PROFESSIONALS. Instructors from multiple disciplines train the course with live interactions, discussions, and practice coaching during the class sessions.
Professionals come to the Certified Divorce Coach® Program from many different backgrounds: mediation, family law, financial services, therapy, coaching, real estate, or other professions so there is much learning from each other in the interactive discussions.
Divorce coaches are confident and competent in the value they offer to their clients. Participants in the program are pleasantly surprised by the personal growth they also achieve during the course.
Throughout the program and after, every certified coach has an online community of graduates to turn to for support, insight, and encouragement.
All course participants also have access to the program founders by phone and email for support at no extra cost, from the time you enroll in the program until the day you retire from your divorce coaching practice.
There are many imitators in divorce coach training, but none who actually offer a regulated certification like the CDC Board of Standards®! Schedule a one-on-one call with our co-founders to answer your questions and discover what makes us different!
