Yes, we offer a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If during the first 30 days from when you sign up you're not satisfied with our LYMM 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 your planning purposes, just know that there's a total of approximately 88 hours of video-based content to watch forms or worksheets to complete. That's about 44 hours per course or about 7-8 hours per module. 

So, in taking a more aggressive approach to completing the training, if you plan to spend 8 hours per week going through the course material you should be able to complete the entire course in 12 weeks (i.e. one module per week). We've had some who planned on going full-time from the get-go who completed the training in even less time than that. 

On the other hand, we've had many students who were in no rush or couldn't start the training for several weeks or months go at a much slower pace. For them, it may take anywhere from 4 months to a year to complete the training.

In the end, it really depends on your particular situation and circumstances. That's why we made it self-paced and are allowing you to enroll and start as soon as you're ready to roll.

I would call it more recommended guidelines vs. minimum requirements since everything's based on the honor system.

But for your own safety and well-being as well as that of your 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.

As a recommended guideline, we'd like to see a minimum of 2 years of solid recovery for each student BEFORE they attempt to go through our mentor training and certification process.

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 is (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 proceed 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. 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™ or CPM.

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 CPM's 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.
