Frequently Asked Questions About Becoming a
Successful Relationship Coach with RCI

Do I need prior experience or a background in psychology to become a relationship coach?

No prior experience is required, because coaching helps functional people who don’t need “therapy.” Instead, our training is specifically designed for those who want to be self-employed, desire the flexibility to work remotely, and help singles and couples. Beyond that, our training is also well suited for mental health professionals and faith leaders who want to expand their skills and practice options.

RCI provides you a complete, step-by-step curriculum that takes you seamlessly from beginner to professional, certified relationship coach.

How does RCI training help me build a successful business?

Unlike traditional programs that only teach coaching theory, RCI focuses heavily on real-world coaching skills and practice-building. Through our proven Coaching Business Success System™, we not only provide done-for-you marketing programs and powerful business development strategies, but we also offer ongoing mentorship specifically designed to help you get clients and build a sustainable practice.

Can I use RCI training toward an ICF credential?

Yes. Specifically, our comprehensive coach training program includes 144 training hours that you can apply directly toward your International Coaching Federation (ICF) credential by using their portfolio track.

How does Relationship Coaching Institute compare to other coach training organizations?

Good question! Unlike high priced traditional training programs, RCI is uniquely structured as an affordable member organization, like a health club! Once you’re a member, you get immediate and ongoing access to everything we provide—including live Zoom and self-study training, unlimited mentoring, done-for-you marketing materials, and our proven Coaching Business Success System™—for as long as you wish.

Birgit Pestalozzi

Joining RCI was one of the best decisions of my life. First of all, the training was profound, meaning I was well equipped to start my practice and sign up clients. As a result, within a short time I reached the break-even point on my training and startup costs. Moreover, every time I have a question, consistently, I get a fast reply from their dedicated staff and leadership. Ultimately, RCI is one of those rare cases where you get even much more than you hoped for.

I could not have better things to say about RCI. Not only do they provide you with training, support, and resources for starting and building your business, but the instructors also are phenomenal. Furthermore, the founders are active in your success both during and after graduation. In fact, I graduated in August 2023 and subsequently launched my business in January 2024, ultimately quitting my full-time job in May 2024. Looking back, that is all thanks to RCI.

Priscilla Hunt

As a graduate of RCI, I received everything I needed to become a professional, credentialed relationship coach. To begin with, training, mentors, resources, and programs were all at my fingertips. Next, virtual classes with outstanding trainers and Lab sessions for hands-on practice of coaching skills proved to be invaluable. Finally, access to exceptional made-for-you marketing programs, downloadable exercises, and support building a coaching business are what truly make RCI a unique one-stop-shop for building a business doing what you love!
