Youthologists are trained to inspire, equip and assist their clients in creating a happier, more organized spaces, relationships and learning to live a more balanced life based on each client’s personal goals and priorities. They help young people with every topic and area including self-esteem, study skills, room organization, friends and getting along with parents.

What is the Training Process to Become a Youthologist Teen and Youth Coach?

Your initial training is conducted through interactive online classroom sessions where you participate and watch videos, forums, assignments, and the manual at the state-of-the-art Youthology Master Program web site hosted by Ning. You may attend “forum classes” and complete your course work when it is convenient for you, work at your own pace, and take the final examination when you are ready.

Once you have been accepted as a Trainee in the Youthology Masters program, you will be given an invite for the online classroom. Upon receiving your invite, you will be able to log-in to the Youthology Masters Program Web site, access the lessons and assignments, watch the video presentations and look at all of our other resources that will help you grow your business as a Youthologist and coach not only how to be one. There are 12 training modules that cover various topics, including the Goal Making Assessment, Study Skills System, the Family Peacemaking process and how to build a successful business as a Youthologist. You should expect to spend at least 1 to 2 hours on each module.

After you complete the training forums, to receive your official certification and begin building your Youthology Coaching business, you must score at least 75% on the final exam. If you do not receive this minimum score, you will be able to review your training materials again and retake the test up to four times within a second 30-day period.
