What’s Included in the Parent Coach Certification® Training Program

Join our personalized distance-program! Director Gloria DeGaetano and the PCI team work with you every step of the way during your training year to ensure your optimal success as a parent coach.

The Parent Coach Certification® Training Program is uniquely designed to meet your specific needs as a busy family support professional.

During your parent coach training year, you have 24/7 access to a wealth of information on PCI Web site’s Student Portal. The PCI Student Portal provides audio files needed for your training, along with valuable learning experiences through audio recordings of actual coaching conversations, and PDFs of required and supplemental reading.

Intentionally built into the program are extras for you to participate in if you choose to, such as being coached by a senior student so you know what it feels like to be on the parent side of coaching.

During the year, your progress is regularly reviewed, evaluated and discussed so that you can add skills, stretching yourself in new directions to optimize your innate talents. At PCI we strongly believe in purposeful, continual expansion of our human potential. The Parent Coach Certification® Training Program reflects that!
