Training That's Right For You
From Certification to Specialization

Divorce Coaches Academy is committed to offering the greatest education value for your investment.

  • Divorce Coach Certification

    DCA's revolutionary approach to divorce coaching is about to change everything. This isn't just coaching. This is a proven framework grounded in the principles of alternative dispute resolution to reduce the financial and emotional impact of divorce on families.

    Our training program doesn't look like the others and that's on purpose. It's designed to be in alignment with the future of divorce, not the past. Developed by successful divorce coaches, mediators, and conflict resolution specialists, our curriculum prepares you for what's next.

  • Continuing Education Single Classes

    Divorce Coaches Academy is designed to be open and accessible to every practicing divorce coach. No annual dues, just choose the class or program you're interested in...and voila, you're in. It's that easy! Join us live or watch the recorded version on your own schedule.

    Classes start at just $25 in the On Demand library and we're adding new classes all the time. So whether you're just starting out, want to polish up your skills and knowledge, or need to earn some CEU's ASAP, you'll find something in the library that's right for you.

  • Mentorship, Specialty Trainings, and Networking

    One of the hardest things about being a solopreneur and independent practitioner is the lack of collaborative work opportunities. If you're searching for a facilitated "think tank' environment, check out our Case Consultation Group or Training Intensives.

    And watch for Socials, Happy Hours, Book Clubs and other special events. We're planning get togethers where practicing, professional coaches can gather for topical discussions or just fun, casual networking.

I really appreciated this course! Trying to figure out how to gain clients can be daunting, but Debra provides us with a roadmap for success. She gives actionable steps to take, and explains the importance of each. As a coach at the very beginning of my coaching career, this course answered questions I didn't yet know to ask. Gaining this knowledge, from the tried-and-true experience of a successful coach, leaves me feeling equipped to set myself up for success, as well.
