What can I expect from this program?
You can expect two months of learning in October and November and an evaluation by a three-person panel to determine if you are ready for internship. During the internship you apply the Cycles of Change™ approach with the support of six hours of personalized coaching. At the end of the internship, the coach recommends you to Centerpoint for certification.
Centerpoint's approach to teaching and learning is very experiential and practical. The program includes between-class writing assignments and in-class role-plays, case studies and discussions. A large binder of materials, handouts and worksheets to support the learning is also included.
You can also expect quarterly group coaching conference calls so that graduates can share how they are using the Cycles of Change™ model with each other and with a Centerpoint facilitator, as well as get input and advice on further integrating their learning.
What do I have to do to earn the certificate?
Your coach must recommend you at the end of your internship month to receive the certificate. You receive a joint certificate from Antioch University Seattle and Centerpoint Institute for Life and Career Renewal.
What do certificate holders do with their new skills?
Job opportunities for career counselors are steadily growing as the field becomes more widely recognized. Professionals from many fields use their new abilities within their current workplaces; others opt to go into private practice.
Are there sources of financial assistance available?
Continuing education students are not eligible for the university's financial aid programs in most cases. However, there are private student loan programs offered by banks and other lenders. Click here for more information.
What do graduates say about the program?
"I find Centerpoint's cyclical change model to be one of the more useful tools I use in therapy. Combined with the rest of my theoretical knowledge, it informs my sense of intervention and offers practical next-steps for my clients in very helpful ways."
D.S., Therapist
"I wholeheartedly believe in the cyclical nature of change that Centerpoint offers in its model, allowing time, space and appreciation for introspection and renewal, as well as for those times in life that are filled with commitment, energy and clarity."
L.W., Business Manager
