Yes, we offer a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If during the first 30 days from the date you sign up you’re not completely satisfied with our training for any reason and would like your money back, we will refund you the full amount you paid – no questions asked.

That really depends on you and your circumstances.

For planning purposes, there’s about 88 hours of video-based content to watch forms or worksheets to complete. That’s about 44 hours per course or 7-8 hours per module. If you plan to spend 7-8 hours per week going through the course material you should be able to complete a module each week. In that case, you could complete the entire course in 12 weeks.

Of course, you could finish it in less time than that, or take much longer. Since the course is self-paced, that’s really up to you.

For your own safety and well-being as well as that of your family and future clients, you need to make sure you’re healthy and have enough sobriety or healing to not pose a threat to your own recovery or that of your mentees.

We generally recommend you have at least a year of solid sobriety, recovery, healing, and growth before you get certified. That being said, if you’re on a solid track to achieving that by the time you expect to be done going through the coursework, we’ve seen some students do that successfully as well.

Even if you have any setbacks or mild relapses along the way, know that you’ve got lifetime access to the training material. So we’ve also seen some students press pause on their training so they could concentrate fully on their recovery, only to come back later and complete the training from a much healthier place.

No, we won’t be torturing you with countless quizzes and tests while you learn.

However, there are on occasion worksheets and surveys for you to fill out to help deepen the learning. For those of you going on to get fully certified, these completed worksheets and surveys will actually make up the better part of your overall Mentoring Ministry Plan that you’ll be going over with Michael, your mentor, during the Mentor Certification process. So you’ll want to complete and keep up with those as you progress through the training.

Otherwise, these exercises are just there for you as a learning aid.

Yes, absolutely! We LOVE seeing both spouses getting trained to help others, even if they don’t start the training at the same time (yes, that’s ok with us, too).

When you first sign up for the training, you’ll be asked to complete an online Student Profile Form. That’s where you’ll let us know that your spouse would also like to take the training, when you anticipate they’d like to begin, and what their name and email address are (so we can set them up with their own account).

Even if they’re not ready yet from a recovery standpoint, they can come back to us months or even years later when they are ready to start the training. Just as long as one of you paid for your training.

From then on, it’s proceeding at your own pace. And with each of you having your own separate user account, you’ll each be able to mark your progress as you go.

No, it is not (unless it’s featured as a part of the pricing plan you selected). Mentor Certification costs $997 for you, or you and your spouse if you’re married and go through the Certification process together.

No, it’s totally optional. And it’s only available to those students or couples who’ve completed all 12 Modules of the Launch Your Mentoring Ministry curriculum. But it is required in order to earn the credentials and be designated by BraveHearts as a Certified Professional Mentor™.

Lots of reasons, that is assuming you’d like to get paid mentoring others.

For one, over the course of 3-4 weeks that the Mentoring Certification process usually takes, you or you and your spouse will be meeting with Michael 1-on-1 via Zoom to review and discuss your Mentoring Ministry Plan. This plan is mainly comprised of the various worksheets and surveys you filled out during your online course training time.

Michael will personally review your plan prior to your first meeting to find gaps and weak spots, areas that he thinks need improvement or clarification before you meet again.

He’ll go through the same process before your second meeting, this time reviewing your corrected or updated plan, prior to you both discussing them together.

This tailored approach has proven to save LYMM students both time and money in following many of the recommendations Michael has made once he’s had a chance to get to know you better individually and really understand your goals and objectives as you get ready to launch your mentoring ministry.

Only after this further vetting of you and your Mentoring Ministry Plan are we willing and able to award you with the designation of Certified Professional Mentor™ or CPM.

It’s our way of telling the world that we think you’ve got what it takes to be a great mentor and worthy of their investment of time and money working with you as their mentee.

In addition, we enjoy promoting our CPMs to the rest of the world, and typically include our newer graduates as speakers alongside well-known subject matter experts in our highly successful virtual summits.

But we think the biggest reason why you should make the additional investment in going through our Mentor Certification process is to help you accelerate on your pathway to growth and profitability in less time than it might otherwise take if you hadn’t spent the extra time working with an experienced mentor like Michael.

That is, after all, the essence of the value any mentor brings to the table. In this case, the value proposition is no different.

Not if you both go through it together at the same time. But if they complete the training at a later date and want to get certified after you’ve already completed your own Mentor Certification without them, then they will have to pay their own Mentor Certification fee, which is currently $997.
