Common questions.
Is the 30-day companion really free?
Yes. No credit card. No trial. If you want to go deeper afterward, the paid pathway is here, but the companion asks nothing of you but your email.
Do I get CE credit for the 30-day companion?
No. The companion is a free resource, not accredited coursework. NBCC continuing education is available inside the paid Introduction to Premarital Practice course and the CPMS™ Specialist certification.
What is the difference between the book and the certification?
The book is written for both couples and clinicians. The certification pathway is a full clinical training and credential for clinicians who want to specialize in premarital work. Many clinicians read the book first, then move into the pathway.
Do I need to be a licensed clinician to enroll?
No. The Introduction course is open to clinicians, clergy, coaches, and helping professionals. The CPMS™ credential and Directory listing are limited to licensed clinicians. Non-clinicians receive a certificate of completion, not the credential.
How long does it take to earn the CPMS™ Specialist credential?
Most clinicians finish the Introduction in two to four weeks and the Specialist in six to eight weeks. Both are self-paced and asynchronous.
