Become an Accredited Recovery Coach of Canada
Recovery Coaches Canada is committed to elevating the standard and recognition of recovery coaching across the country. We champion excellence by supporting dedicated coaches who are making meaningful impacts every day.
To achieve these objectives, we've established the prestigious Accredited Recovery Coach of Canada (ARCC) designation, a mark of distinction and professionalism.
The ARCC accreditation process is rigorous, ensuring only the most skilled and committed recovery coaches earn this esteemed designation.
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
Complete an approved 30-hour Recovery Coaching training course.
Complete a recognized 20-hour Recovery Coach Mentorship course.
Finish an approved 10-hour Recovery Coach Ethics course.
Upon providing certificates verifying these qualifications, applicants must submit a 20-to-30-minute recorded coaching session. A panel of three expert judges evaluates this recording according to strict, predefined criteria. Applicants achieving an 80% or higher score will proudly earn the ARCC designation.
For detailed scoring guidelines, refer to our evaluation rubric here.
