It’s a trick question because the answer is there isn’t “one” required background for becoming a divorce coach. Just as every divorce is unique and personal, a divorce coach comes from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a:
* Mental Health Professional
* Family Lawyer
* Collaborative Attorney
* Healthcare Worker
* Family Mediator
* Divorce Financial Professional
* Stay-At-Home Caregiver
* Coach
Whatever your background, helping others not only survive, but thrive after the dust has settled and the divorce is final can be one of the most fulfilling and satisfying “jobs” you’ll ever do. And going through our 16-week CDC® Certified Divorce Coach Training and Certification will give you the foundation and tools to succeed.
And it doesn’t matter your geographic location nor religious affiliation. The content is neutral as to jurisdiction and offers the ability to apply the concepts and frameworks in many different cultures and religious traditions. In fact, we have CDC® Certified Coaches come from such far-flung origins as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Panama, Bermuda, UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and throughout the United States and Canada.
As an added bonus, we are COVID-proof! Every aspect of this live, interactive training happens via ZOOM and through our online community platform. From beginning to end, you will be free from concerns about exposure to the virus!
This is a program that goes well beyond the impressive materials assembled from diverse disciplines – from leading edge neuroscience to highly respected conflict practices especially needed in high conflict and high stress situations.
CDC Certified Divorce Coach® is a federally registered certification mark, registered in the U.S., Canada, and in the U.K., and it provides assurance for clients that the CDC Certified Divorce Coach® and CDC Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach® certifications represent the best in personal divorce coaching, speaks to your credibility as a personal divorce coach and differentiates you from others calling themselves divorce coaches. We’re also now offering dual certifications – CDC Certified Divorce Coach® and CDC Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach® in one comprehensive 16-week course.
If you’re considering becoming a divorce coach, you should attend one of our series of mini-training webinars for those who would like to explore more about how divorce coaching plays out in real life. Our next one is on Wednesday, August 19, and is “Real-Life Divorce Coaching Examples“. Find out more information here: https://certifieddivorcecoach.
