Who is the training suited for?
This training would be ideal for anyone wishing to pursue a career as a Binge Eating Coach as well as those who simply wish to improve on their existing knowledge and understanding of supporting someone through the recovery process.
Some examples include:
- A professional or health care worker who engages with clients suffering from binge eating disorder.
- An individual who would like to know more about supporting a friend or loved one in recovery.
- Someone who has personally recovered from an eating disorder and now wants to give back and help others to do the same.
- Someone frustrated with your current job and dreaming of a life filled with meaning, freedom, and impact.
What will I learn in the course?
We want this certification to stand out and be credible. With that in mind, we wish to offer the next level of coach training.
The course will cover all aspects of binge eating recovery, coaching clients on specific issues and how to successfully run a coaching business.
On the course, you will learn how to coach your client so they:
- Develop a better relationship with food— without diets or “food rules”
- Find ways to cope other than eating when you feel sad or anxious
- Build resilience so they can better handle a stressful day, week, or month
- Nourishing their body in a way that dramatically reduces any binge urges
- Confidently go food shopping and plan their own meals
- Can safely eat out in public
- Feel more balanced, confident, calm, and in control around food.
- Overcome triggers and binge eating habits
- Set themselves up for a lasting lifelong recovery.
You will also learn more coaching-specific skills such as:
- How to identify why your client is bingeing
- How to create a safe, supportive space for you and your client
- How to overcome any obstacles, roadblocks, or mindsets that may be blocking progress.
- How to keep your client committed and focused on recovery.
- How to work in conjunction with a treatment team
We will also cover aspects of running a coaching business such as:
- How to run a financially successful coaching business.
- How to juggle multiple clients effectively
- How to deal with challenging clients
- How to prepare for your first coaching session
- How to protect your own energy
We will also include all the client forms, workbooks, and tools you need to start coaching right away.
This training will provide you with a solid effective framework that you can use to start coaching with immediately after certification.
How will the course be taught?
The course will be 100{796d6b6e0299a2e8c5a652699619a7ecb0a0c7e1b9e5e171db4a518dc33c6843} online and can be taken from anywhere in the world.
Unlike self-study courses where it’s easy to lose motivation, this course will be taken together as a group. We all start at the same time we all get to go on the same journey together and support and grow with each other along the way. That way you can become part of our amazing recovery community. Connect with current coaches to gain unique insights into the role and share your experiences with other coaches in training along the way.
The course will consist of:
- In-depth live instructor sessions,
- Coaching demonstrations
- Additional reading and video homework assignments
- Roleplaying assignments
- Real world client coaching
We also want this to be an experiential program. We believe the best way to learn is by doing, so the course will include a large element of roleplaying coaching sessions and real-world client coaching.
Who will provide the training?
All training will be delivered by our expert coaches, with years of experience and who have themselves recovered from eating disorders.
This means you are offered incredibly special and unique insights together with tried and tested coaching strategies that you simply will not find as part of your training anywhere else.
How long will the course be?
We’re still working out the details but we imagine Binge Code Academy will be roughly a 15-20 week intensive program and will consist of 12-15 modules.
When will it start?
We are aiming to launch the Academy Autumn/ Winter 2022.
How much is the training investment?
We are aiming to create the “gold standard” of Binge Eating Coach training here. The program will be robust, comprehensive and in-depth.
We also aim to keep our price extremely competitive compared to other life coaching courses of a similar nature, none of which offer training to work with binge eating disorders.
We envision the training investment to be around: $4,000 USD
After you graduate you will be able to build your own financially successful coaching business so this really will be an investment in your future.
