Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the Fundamentals and Certification Programs?

While both of our Training Programs offer proprietary tools and frameworks, they vary in their depth and audience. The Fundamentals goes through the basics of the Cancer Journey curriculum in 12 weekly sessions. The Fundamentals is great for those that already have experience as a life coach and are looking for additional skills as well as perfect for those who are brand new to coaching and are looking for a place to start. For those looking for a program that goes deeper into the work and toolkit while offering more time to not only learn but also absorb and execute the lessons, the Certification is the perfect choice. Over 8 months together, The Certification Program explores every concept and allows you to see the trajectory of growth that comes with our award-winning coaching methodology.

Both Training Programs include our experiential training model and the often-unexpected side effect of personal growth for the coach.

Are the Training Programs accredited?

Yes, both of our Training Programs are available for Continuing Education Credits toward the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC).

Testimonials

words from our community

Whether it's Fundamentals or Certification, the impact of our Training Programs consistently feeds transformation.

The Cancer Journey Institute Fundamentals Program came into my life at a time of major transition, as I explored new career possibilities. As a cancer survivor, I wanted to deepen my understanding of how better coaching can better support family, friends, and colleagues with cancer. What I found was not only a deeply enriching coaching program but also a healing community of compassionate coaches dedicated to guiding and supporting their students. The "VIP" Fundamentals Program gave me hands-on experience with real coaching practice sessions, helping me truly understand and value the coaching model. This class was a pivotal part of my transformation, equipping me with skills I will carry for a lifetime. While I’m still considering whether to become a coach, one thing is certain—the Cancer Journey Institute has helped me heal and embrace the next chapter of my life with a new confidence.

The depth of information taught and shared in the Cancer Journey Coach Certification class is phenomenal. It’s almost indescribable the type of learning available to us as participants (and ultimately our clients), but is measured week-by-week in the way we interact, the way we open ourselves to a greater understanding of self and the way we have grown. Each tool is woven together seamlessly.

What my heart knows, in this moment as I finish this final leg of my Certified Cancer Journey Coach Training, is this: I’m going to do something BIG with this training as a foundation. I feel called to build something. Something far more than a coaching practice, which I also plan to build. And, a big part of that is I’m going to build it with The Cancer Journey Institute. I feel that in my bones. You ask me what is possible? ANYTHING!
