The Mastery Certification (CIMP) program can be completed as soon as you finish your mentorship sessions with Kim, which is usually 1-2 months.
Can I complete certification on my own schedule?
Yes! While lessons are set up to be delivered over a 12-week timeframe, you do not need to follow that timeline. You can absolutely complete the program at your own speed. All learning modules must be completed prior to certification.
What are the certification requirements?
To graduate with (CIP) certification, you must simply complete the 12 core learning modules, which include training videos, personal practice, and fieldwork.
For (CIMP) specialized certification, you must complete the first 3 coaching sessions with Kim, all CIMP certification activities, and graduate from the (CIP) training program.
What is the workload like?
While this program is one of the most in-depth intuition learning experiences on the market, its training modules are simple, digestible and fun. Plus, you have the flexibility to dive into as much practice as you like; we have core requirements along with opportunities to go deeper, if you are called to.
How do I know that I have what it takes to be an intuitive leader?
If you are here, reading this...if something is stirring within you as you read these words...your intuition has already told you the answer. Though our critical mind can make us unsure, our intuition leads us right where we need to be...whether we know it or not.
I consider myself a beginner. Could this program be right for me?
Whether you are currently developing your personal intuition expertise or just starting your journey, the program will give you the training, tools, and opportunities to grow your practice and feel fully equipped to take your intuition out into the world!
What experience do I need?
The certification program is designed for both beginner intuition students and those wishing to expand their abilities to professional level skills. No experience is necessary.
