Divorce Coach Specialty Training

We are proud and excited to introduce eight specialty certifications which leverage the divorce coaching intensive training which you completed through the CDC.

Starting in 2024,  we offer several specialty coach training and certifications to those who have already earned the CDC Certified Divorce Coach certification.

As they become available and scheduled for registration, we will send out announcements advising you when the one you are interested in is scheduled. Each course comprises eight modules and will be meeting once per week for two hours over the course of 8 weeks. The pace of the course allows you to digest each module and to do the assigned reading and pre-class assignments at a more relaxed pace than you experienced in the CDC Certified Divorce Coach Intensive Training. The classes are limited to 12 people per class.  Scheduled times for each course will change throughout the calendar of scheduled courses to accommodate the Pacific region, the US and Canada, and the European, Middle East, and African time zones. 

Each course costs $990. Payment options are:

• $890 payment in full at time of registration
• 2 payments of $495 monthly from the time of registration, or 
• 3 payments of $340 monthly from the time of registration.
