Students who register for the course will have access to our online classroom the week before our first interactive class. Students listen to the three lectures for that week and attend the discussion class to discuss the content  (See Class Schedule for details). In-person and Virtual interactive classes meet from 6:30-8:00 PM. The 11-week course begins with an orientation, followed by 10 discussion classes.

In the virtual classroom, you will be able to view or download the Biblical Counseling Manual (PDF).

The Biblical Counseling and Coaching Training is personal growth journey that will impact your life like nothing else. If you want to learn how to overcome personal struggles and better help others in their times of struggle, then this Training is for you.

Everyone gives counsel to others. It may be to a friend over coffee or over the phone; it may be a marriage on the brink of divorce or difficult issues with a child or a parent. You may be involved in a mentoring or discipleship relationship where you are looked to for counsel. Whatever the case, this training will help equip you to be a better friend, mentor, and counselor.

You will learn the basic fundamentals of biblical counseling and how to apply them in real life. You will learn to discern the root systems of problems and the Biblical approach to solving them. You will see that God’s Word has answers for every situation we face in life. You’ll take 10 3-hour classes covering a variety of counseling issues. See below for the full course schedule.

Following orientation, you will take 10 3-hour classes covering a variety of counseling issues. See below for the full course schedule.

You must attend no less than 8 of the 10 interactive discussion classes to complete the course.

After completing the 30-hour training course, students have 4 years to complete their certification. 

Although a refund cannot be given, you are able to transfer your
registration to someone else or use your registration for a future semester. This transfer must be approved by the
Biblical Counseling and Coaching Institute.

If you choose to continue the certification process and become a Certified Biblical Counselor you will need to complete phases 2 and 3 of the certification process. The entire process can be completed at an affordable price of approximately $1,200.00.  Upon completing the entire certification, you will embark on an exciting and fulfilling ministry. 

NOTE: Relational Impact Ministries and the Biblical Counseling and Coaching Institute do not prepare individuals for State or National qualifications or licensure, as our belief is that biblical counseling is under the purview of the church, rather than a profession licensed by the State.
