Important Clarification
Scope of This Training
This training does not license participants as therapists, legal advisors, or crisis intervention providers. Facilitators are trained to guide a structured relational process and must refer couples to appropriate professional, pastoral, legal, or emergency support when needed.
If you are unsure whether this training is the right fit for your background or role, reach out before enrolling. We want every facilitator to enter the process with clarity and confidence.

Online / Self-Paced Training
Candidates who complete the training online will work through the materials in the protected learning portal and submit required work for certification review.
Trainer-Led Training
Candidates trained by an approved Drip-Free Marriage trainer may complete the training through a guided cohort, live session, or supervised training experience. In this case, the approved trainer may observe the candidate, review practice work, and complete the evaluation process.

Important — Certification Boundaries
Facilitator Certification Does Not Authorize Trainer Status
Facilitator certification does not authorize someone to train other facilitators. That requires Trainer Certification. Certified facilitators are equipped to guide couples — not to certify or train others in the system.
