Association of Child and Family Coaches® (ACFC) – Licensed Training Partnership

Build Your Own Child & Family Therapeutic Coaching Training Business

Your experience. Your passion. Your business. Our qualifications, resources and support.

Have you ever wanted to turn your passion for helping children and families into a business of your own?

The Association of Child and Family Coaches® (ACFC) is offering an exciting opportunity to establish your own specialist training academy through its Licensed Training Partnership.

Whether you're an experienced coach, educator, professional working with families, or someone whose personal experiences have inspired a desire to make a difference, ACFC provides the educational foundations, qualifications and resources to help you build a purpose-led business.

With established training programmes, ready-developed learning materials and dedicated partnership support, you can focus on growing your academy and supporting learners without having to create an entire educational system from scratch.

A Business Opportunity With Purpose

As an ACFC Licensed Training Partner, you'll have the opportunity to develop your own training business while helping equip practitioners with the knowledge and skills to support children, parents and families.

ACFC has already developed a portfolio of specialist qualifications, including:

• Level 3 Child and Family Therapeutic Coaching
• Level 5 Child and Family Therapeutic Coaching
• Level 6 Child and Family Therapeutic Coaching
• Therapeutic Play
• Parent Coaching
• Neurodiversity-Affirming Coaching
• Trauma-Informed Family Coaching

These established programmes provide the foundation for your own specialist training academy, allowing you to build an audience of aspiring practitioners and professionals seeking to develop their skills.

Everything You Need to Establish Your Academy

Launching a training business can be a significant undertaking. Developing qualifications, creating learning materials, establishing assessment processes and building learner management systems all require considerable time and investment.

With ACFC, much of this educational infrastructure is already in place.

As a Licensed Training Partner, you'll benefit from:

• Established qualifications and specialist training pathways.
• Ready-developed curricula, teaching materials and assessment resources.
• Learner registration, management and certification systems.
• Quality assurance processes and professional standards.
• Dedicated programme enrolment pages through ACFC.
• Business launch guidance and marketing resources.
• Partner induction and professional development.
• Assessor training and ongoing mentoring.

You'll have the foundations to establish your own academy, supported by an organisation with an established educational framework.

A Flexible Business Model

One of the key advantages of the ACFC partnership is the flexibility it offers.

Learners study predominantly through self-paced online programmes, allowing them to complete their training around their existing commitments.

This means your academy can attract learners without necessarily relying on fixed teaching cohorts or traditional classroom-based delivery.

You can focus on developing your audience, promoting your programmes and supporting your learners, while ACFC provides the educational infrastructure behind your business.

Whether you want to build a full-time enterprise or develop a business alongside your existing professional activities, the partnership offers a flexible foundation for growth.

Build an Income While Making a Difference

The ACFC Licensed Training Partnership operates through a transparent per-learner revenue model, with no fixed monthly management fee.

Your income is linked to the learners you enrol, giving you the opportunity to build your business as your audience grows.

For example, a Level 5 Child and Family Therapeutic Coaching learner currently pays £2,180.

After the 20% ACFC Partnership Fee and £50 registration, certification and quality assurance charge, your Partner Delivery Fee would be £1,694 per learner.

That means:

• 1 Level 5 enrolment: £1,694 Partner Delivery Fee
• 5 Level 5 enrolments: £8,470 Partner Delivery Fees
• 10 Level 5 enrolments: £16,940 Partner Delivery Fees

These figures are illustrative and represent Partner Delivery Fees before your own business expenses and taxes. They are not guaranteed earnings.

Beyond the financial opportunity, every practitioner you help train has the potential to make a positive difference to children, parents and families.

ACFC is inviting its next 10 approved Licensed Training Partners to join at a significantly reduced initial licence investment.
