Training
Two different things, often confused. One teaches you the method for your own practice. The other licenses you to run our programs.
IF YOU WANT TO…
Use it with your clients
Learn the RIFT framework and the Fisher method, and apply it in the work you already do. Continuing education credit available.
For therapists, counsellors, coaches and anyone working with divorcing clients one to one.
IF YOU WANT TO…
Run our programs
Become licensed to deliver the ten-week Rebuilders program in your own community, with our materials and our name.
For professionals building a group practice or a local program as a business.
These are not five rungs of one ladder. They are two separate paths, and most people only ever need one of them. Nothing in the first track is a prerequisite for the second.
Learn the method
Three levels, each building on the last. The whole sequence costs less than $1,000, and the first level is free.
RIFT Informed
One hour covering the four phases, why the sequence matters, and how to locate a client within it. Enough to change how you handle your next divorcing client.
- The RIFT framework and the four phases
- The ebook
- Website hosting, free for life
- A listing in our professional directory on completion
Six-credit course
The working depth. Each phase in detail — what it looks like in a client, what moves it, and what to avoid doing too early. Includes reading and interpreting the Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale so you can measure where a client is rather than estimating.
See what's covered →Twelve-credit course
The full certification. Builds on the six-credit course with the harder material: clients who are stuck, complicating factors, the shape of identity work that a ten-week program starts but does not finish.
See what's covered →Continuing education eligibility is currently pending across all levels.
Run our programs
Licensed training for professionals who want to deliver the ten-week program themselves. Two levels, matching the two formats we run.
That distinction matters, and it is deliberate. You already know how to hold a room — that is your profession. What you do not have is four decades of knowing which exercise belongs in week six and why week three so often goes sideways.
So the training is content, not pedagogy. You learn what each of the ten weeks covers, in detail, and you sit in on a live class and watch it run.
Seminar facilitator training
Licenses you to run the ten-week seminar — the larger-group format. Full training on what each week covers, plus observation of a live class.
- Week-by-week curriculum in detail
- Sit in on a live class
- Licence to run the seminar in your community
- Facilitator's guide, video library, RB360 account and ongoing support available as add-ons
Workshop facilitator training
Licenses you to run the ten-week workshop — the small-group format, which asks more of a facilitator and carries the higher price point for participants. Everything is included rather than optional.
- Week-by-week curriculum in detail
- Sit in on a live class
- Licence to run the workshop in your community
- Facilitator's guide included
- Full video library included
- RB360 account included
- Full ongoing support included

Which one
Start with the free hour
Whichever direction you're heading, it costs nothing and takes an hour. Most people find it answers the question for them.
If you see divorcing clients one to one
The six-credit course is the practical level. It gives you the framework and the ability to read the assessment, which together change how you work with someone who is grieving a marriage rather than repairing one.
If you want to run groups
Go to the facilitator track directly. The CE courses are useful but they are not a prerequisite, and the facilitator training covers the framework itself.
Seminar or workshop
Seminars run larger and cost participants less. Workshops run small, ask more of the facilitator, and command a higher fee. If you are unsure which suits your community, talk to us — it depends on your market more than on your experience.
