Your Training Fee

Your tuition for the Parent Coach Certification® Training Program is $5,800. This fee includes all training materials, phone classes and services, including the four on-site workshops (travel and lodging not included).

The PCI requests a first payment of $3,800 followed by two $1,000 payments. If this doesn't work, the PCI works with each student to develop a payment plan that will fit his/her budget. You will be asked to sign an agreement that you'll make your payments in a timely manner. Most students pay in full at the start of their training. This fee is $5,500, a savings of $300. In either case, you receive all your training materials at the beginning of your program so that you can look ahead and anticipate your course work.

If you take advantage of the PCI's Early Registration Discount, you can save up to $500.00 by applying before the announced deadline. This brings the tuition to $5,000, or if on a payment plan, to $5,300. Questions? Please call the PCI Office at (425) 401-1519.

In addition to your tuition to the PCI, you will register with Seattle Pacific University for either continuing education units or for graduate credit for each course. Instructions for doing this are given after acceptance into the program. Continuing education fee is $30.00 per course, for a total of $120.00 for the four courses during the year-long training. If you choose the credit option, that fee is $320.00 per course (for 8 quarter, graduate-level credits), for a total of $1,280 for 32 graduate-level credits for the four courses during the year-long training. Students must register with Seattle Pacific University for one of these options for each of the four courses.

Visa and Mastercard accepted.

Your PCI Parent Coach Training Program Includes:

Course Materials—see below.
36 Phone Classes with PCI Course Facilitator & Colleagues to activate course content.

Exciting collaboration and networking opportunities!
Opportunity to Participate in as many Process Calls per quarter as you like to activate your coaching skills. Each quarter beginning with Course 2, choose 3 (or more), from up to 12 process phone classes which provide examples of the PCI parent coaching process and opportunities for you to play the role of the coach and receive feedback from your colleagues and course facilitator.
6 Phone Classes to learn the basics for Marketing Your Parent Coaching Practice. After Course 3 or 4, participate in six marketing phone classes to jump start your parent coaching practice. Share ideas with colleagues and "pick the brain" of sales and marketing professionals.

If students cannot come to the workshops, the PCI provides the workshop materials and means for the individuals to get the course information from a distance. Additional workshops are offered at nominal fees.
Support and Guidance from Colleagues. When you enter Course 1, you are paired with someone in your group who is your "coaching buddy." Discuss course content, role-play coaching, and basically have a nurturing companion for the year-long journey.

This supervisor/guide talks with you once a month for six months to help you develop your coaching skills and support you in your parent coaching practicum experience. The student has the option to continue the relationship upon completion of the training.
