Do I need to be licensed to apply?
No. Applicants do not necessarily need a clinical license. We welcome licensed professionals, certified coaches, wellness and relationship professionals, ministry or community leaders, qualified Bonding Biology Institute graduates, and other purpose-driven applicants. Every applicant is reviewed for readiness, maturity, experience, alignment, and ability to operate within the program’s ethical standards and defined scope. Certification does not authorize anyone to diagnose or treat medical or mental-health conditions or perform services requiring a government-issued license.
Can a Bonding Biology graduate become certified?
Yes, qualified graduates may apply. Completing a Bonding Biology program can provide valuable personal experience with the methodology, but it does not automatically qualify someone as a practitioner. Graduates must complete practitioner training, demonstrate competency, pass required assessments, and agree to all ethical and scope-of-practice standards.
How long does certification take?
Certification is completed through a structured cohort that includes instruction, practical application, supervised work, and formal assessment. The exact cohort calendar and completion requirements will be provided before enrollment. Certification is awarded only after all requirements are completed and competency is demonstrated.
What is the weekly time commitment?
Applicants should be prepared for consistent weekly participation in training, coursework, practice, and assessment preparation. The exact schedule and anticipated weekly commitment for the next cohort will be provided before enrollment. Certain weeks may require additional time for live training, supervised practice, or examinations.
Is the certification available outside the United States?
Yes, qualified international applicants may apply. Laws governing coaching, counseling, health services, advertising, privacy, and professional practice vary by jurisdiction. Every practitioner is responsible for operating within the laws and licensing requirements applicable to her location and for participating in required live sessions and assessments.
When does the next cohort open?
Cohorts open at selected times to preserve training quality and provide appropriate support and evaluation. Priority-list applicants will receive the next cohort dates, information-session invitation, tuition details, curriculum overview, and application instructions before the cohort is announced publicly.
Do I have to start a business?
No. You may use the certification to enhance work you already perform. Eligible practitioners may also separately apply to coach within designated Institute programs. Applicants who want to build or expand an independent practice may apply for optional curriculum, technology, and business-support resources.
Can I earn money with this certification?
Certification may help qualified practitioners expand existing services or pursue an approved professional pathway. Depending on the pathway, a practitioner may charge for her own professional services, apply to receive a 10% commission on qualifying attributed Institute program sales, or apply to use licensed resources in an independent practice. Certification does not guarantee clients, assignments, revenue, profitability, or business success.
Can I sell Bonding Biology Institute programs?
Certified practitioners may separately apply for permission to recommend designated Institute programs. Approved participants may receive a 10% commission on qualifying program sales properly attributed to them. Certification alone does not grant resale or referral rights. Eligibility, attribution, payment timing, refunds, chargebacks, marketing standards, and continuing approval are governed by a separate written agreement.
If I refer or sell a program, will I coach that client?
Under the Institute Program Coach pathway, an approved practitioner may be selected to serve as a client’s designated coach during a defined program experience. Assignment is not automatic and depends on approval, client fit, capacity, program requirements, and good standing. Coaching duties, duration, caseload, service standards, and compensation are stated in the applicable agreement.
Is the 10% commission payment for coaching?
The 10% commission applies to qualifying, attributed program sales under the referral agreement. Any additional compensation for coaching services will be stated separately in the applicable Institute Coach agreement. No compensation is earned unless the requirements of the relevant written agreement are satisfied.
Will the Institute provide clients?
The Institute does not guarantee clients, referrals, assignments, leads, or a particular volume of opportunities. Any coaching assignment or referral is discretionary and may depend on certification status, client fit, capacity, performance, availability, and continued good standing.
Do I have to create my own program?
No. Eligible practitioners may apply to support approved Institute programs or license selected lessons, videos, exercises, assessments, and client journeys. You may also choose to use only the foundational certification within an existing practice.
Can I charge an additional fee for private coaching?
Under the independent-practice pathway, an approved practitioner may establish and charge clearly disclosed fees for the private or group coaching she personally delivers, subject to her agreement and applicable law. Her coaching fee must be clearly distinguished from any Institute program, platform, technology, or licensing charge.
Will I receive access to the CRM?
CRM or client-management access may be offered through a separate optional resource plan. It is not automatically included with certification. The applicable agreement will define available features, approved uses, privacy and security obligations, fees, support, data ownership, export rights, and what happens to client records when access ends.
Will you teach me how to operate a profitable company?
Optional business-development education may address offer design, onboarding, CRM usage, sales, marketing, retention, operations, financial management, and client experience. These resources are educational and do not guarantee profitability. Every practitioner remains responsible for her decisions, expenses, marketing, pricing, compliance, and results.
Is this therapy or a clinical license?
No. Certified Bonding Biology Practitioner™ is a private professional certification. It is not a government-issued license, clinical degree, or authorization to practice psychotherapy, medicine, or any regulated healthcare profession. Practitioners must accurately represent their qualifications and refer clients whenever a need exceeds their training or legal authority.
What happens after certification?
Certified practitioners in good standing may use the approved practitioner designation within the permissions provided, participate in continuing education, and apply for elective professional pathways. Maintaining the credential may require renewal, continuing education, current materials, compliance with the code of conduct, and continued good standing.
Is this a franchise?
The foundational certification provides professional education and an earned private credential. Optional coaching, referral, curriculum, technology, and business-resource pathways are offered only through separate approvals and written agreements. Participants retain responsibility for their independent professional and business decisions except where a specific Institute program agreement defines a limited service standard.
What is the refund or cancellation policy?
All payments are final and nonrefundable. Because participants receive immediate access to proprietary intellectual property, training materials, certification resources, and other benefits, no refunds, credits, transfers, cancellations, or payment reversals are permitted after enrollment.
Participants remain responsible for the full financial commitment stated in their signed agreement, including when choosing a payment plan or deciding not to complete or use the program. Any recurring renewal may be canceled according to the notice requirements in the applicable agreement; however, cancellation applies only to future renewal periods and does not eliminate existing payment obligations. This policy applies except where otherwise required by law.
