Questions

Common Questions

Do I need a clinical license to take this course?

No. The course is designed for both licensed professionals (LMFT, PhD, LPC, LMHC) and non-clinical pastoral leaders. Module 3 explicitly addresses the scope-of-practice distinctions for both audiences.

When do I get referral portal access?

Immediately upon passing the Module 6 certification assessment (70%), your account is automatically granted Certified Referral Partner status and portal access is activated.

How does the 30% commission work?

When a couple enrolls using your personal referral code, you earn 30% of the course price. All referrals are tracked in your partner portal and commissions are paid out monthly.

Can licensed counselors use this with active clients?

Yes. Module 5 specifically covers integration with existing counseling treatment plans, documentation, and progress notes. The series is designed to complement, not replace, clinical work.

What if I don't pass the Module 6 assessment?

The assessment can be retaken as many times as needed. There is no penalty for retaking — the 70% threshold ensures genuine mastery before the certificate is issued.
