How training works

Every module follows the same three-part rhythm.

Work through short video lessons, demonstrations and written references, module by module.

Try each skill in a coaching roleplay with a trainer or fellow trainee, then reflect on how it went.

Receive structured feedback on your roleplays and track where you are improving.

The course is arranged in three stages. Trainees work from the top down and are ready to see their first client by the end of stage one.
