2. ACPI Certified Coach® for Parents

As an ACPI Certified Coach® for Parents, you receive the training and the marketing information needed to establish yourself as a parent coach within your community. The ACPI Certified Coach® for Parents credentials verify your training and completion of program requirements that entitle you to coach parents and families or to offer parent education classes.

Parent coaching is a booming new home-based business. A parent coach is a personal coach who specializes in parent/child issues. When a parent needs help overcoming a challenge, they now have the option of hiring a parent coach. Parent coaches primarily function as mentors who listen, clarify situations, identify problems, and offer solutions. They also help parents regain a feeling of empowerment and increased confidence in their parenting skills. This, in turn, elevates the parent's innate sense of nurturing and restores the joy many families lose during times of conflict. 

  • Nannies who have completed the Nanny as Parent Coach Program will receive educational credit for Track 1 and Track 4 of the ACPI Certified Coach® for Parents Program.

  • For those in the United States and Canada, the coursework is offered by teleconference.

  • Global students may take the program independently.
