Divorce Coach Training Based on the Principles of Alternative Dispute Resolution for Previously Certified CDC Divorce Coaches

Hear what certified divorce coaches have to say about ELEVATE...
Heather Cary and Carolyn Jacobs joined us on the DCA® podcast to talk about their experience in ELEVATE. They describe how learning to speak ADR language, working with clients to focus on conflict management and delivering an effective coaching session every time has increase both their client impact and their bottom line.
Both Heather and Carolyn are already successful, practicing divorce coaches, but told us that the DCA foundations, frameworks, and skills have provided just what they needed to take their coaching practice to the next level.
The DCA® Core Process
RESOLVE Approach: ADR Foundation
Client IMPACT: Coaching Framework
Session FLOW: Consistent Client Results
Simple, proven, consistent frameworks that are straightforward to learn and apply. RESOLVE, IMPACT, and FLOW are acronyms that provide a way to organize every concept you learn.
Our revolutionary approach to divorce coaching is designed to prepare you to deliver client results that lessen the financial costs and emotional impact of divorce on families. These concentric circles represent our philosophy that the RESOLVE Approach (our ADR foundation) wraps around everything we do and every coaching technique we teach.

About the ELEVATE Program
25 CEU's awarded upon completion
Rolling Admission
Because ELEVATE is a fully self-paced, self-study program, you can enroll and begin learning whenever it fits your schedule. All course materials are available immediately upon enrollment, allowing you to move through the curriculum on your own timeline and at a pace that works for your commitments.
Self-Paced
All course materials are available immediately upon enrollment—there is no weekly release schedule. Unlike cohort-based learning, ELEVATE is fully self-paced, allowing you to progress through the program on your own timeline and at a pace that fits your professional and personal commitments. Each module includes approximately 90 minutes of video-based learning.
Office Hours
You’re not entirely on your own. Participants have access to twice-monthly office hours with the Director of Learning in their country (Canada, United States, or Australia) for questions, guidance, and learning support throughout the program.
Office hour schedules vary by country and will be provided upon enrollment.
Live Practicums
Once you complete the video learning modules and your workbook, sign up for 2 live practicums to practice your new ADR skills. Meet with fellow students and a professional mentor and work through mock coaching scenarios.
Final Video
Submit a final 45-minute video of a coaching session with a "client" of your choice to demonstrate mastery of the DCA core processes of RESOLVE, IMPACT and FLOW and the ADR frameworks and approach to divorce coaching.

Once all requirements have been met, you'll receive your certificate of completion and be awarded 25 CEU's. You'll also be eligible to be listed on the DCA® Coach Locator and for referral to our partner organizations.
Program Pricing
Continuing education should be accessible, affordable, and add value. We believe getting trained as a DCA® ADR Certified Divorce Coach will not only expand your knowledge, but will pay for itself with new clients and additional revenue.
