What Makes Our Relationship Coach Certification Program Unique?

1-It's the only program developed and led by a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping couples. Most programs are led by coaches with minimal experience. 

2-It's the only program providing live teaching each week for students to gain maximum knowledge and interaction. Most programs are recorded videos students must watch on their own.

3-It's one of the only programs providing practicum experience for students to work with actual couples to receive hands on training and evaluation of their coaching skills. Most programs don't require students to practice with any couples to develop competence.

4-It's one of the only programs training students on successful marketing strategies to gain new clients once the program is over. Most programs don't teach any marketing skills and expect students to learn how to gain new clients on their own.

What do previous students of the relationship coach certification program have to say? 

Becoming a relationship coach under Dr. Wyatt Fisher's certification program was easily one of the most life changing and rewarding decisions I've ever made. The material was clearly outlined, presented well, and practiced extensively. I felt prepared and formed a connection with other coaches and Dr. Fisher himself. It was a very personal and focused program that gave each coach a plan with detailed steps and Dr. Fisher was always a call or email away. Dr. Fisher has given me tools to help others and it's even changed my relationship with my own partner in the best way. Thank you for investing your time and studies with me Dr. Fisher! -Ali Isdaner

I highly enjoyed going through Dr. Wyatt Fisher's Relationship Coach Certification program. I learned a lot about the tools to help other relationships, including my own. I appreciated Dr. Fisher's passion for helping relationships heal and strengthen, and he made sure all the coaches were fully trained, supported, and equipped to provide the best services to couples. Dr. Fisher was consistently open to answering questions and made the training experience interactive and extremely informative. -Haven Poush
