ABC partners with a growing list of Training Centers to equip counselors throughout the US and Canada. Please reach out to a Training Center near you to inquire about the possibility of joining a class for ABC1 certification. If you prefer self-paced online training then you can enroll through our website at https://christiancounseling.com/certification-overview/.
Training Centers provide comprehensive grading and certification for their students. In contrast, an ABC Cohort supports registered ABC online students by offering guidance, mentoring, and resources, but relies on ABC to provide certification grading directly. Training that is enrichment-only does not provide ABC certification.
