This is designed for students of the Biblical Counseling Center who want to pursue International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC) Certification. We'll help you understand your next steps after you enroll.

No.

After you enroll, we'll review your BCC training and create a personalized success path based on your previous coursework.

Our goal is to build on the foundation you've already received, and help you move forward—not give additional burdens.

The International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC) has intentionally designed its certification process to be relationship-based rather than merely course-based.

Rather than navigating the process on your own or completing a checklist through a central office, we serve as your IABC Certified Training Center. We'll help simplify the process for you, provide certification guidance, and handling much of the administrative coordination as you complete your certification.

This approach allows you to focus on your preparation for biblical counseling while we we help shoulder much of the administrative burden throughout the certification process.

As an approved IABC Certified Training Center, we provide a premium, relationship-based certification experience.

Our role is to walk alongside you throughout the certification process by providing personalized guidance, group supervision, and administrative support.

Both ACBC and IABC are committed to the sufficiency of Scripture and the faithful practice of biblical counseling.

IABC partners with approved Certified Training Centers, that provide personalized guidance and support throughout the certification process.

As your IABC Certified Training Center, we serve as your primary point of contact—helping you navigate the certification process with a dedicated Student Care team and providing a formal recommendation to IABC upon finishing your program.

Immediately after enrolling you'll receive: 

✓ Access to your student portal

✓ A welcome email

✓ Instructions for submitting your BCC training for review

✓ A zoom conversation with a student success team member.

✓ Your personalized evaluation begins

✓ A roadmap for your certification journey

Instead of waiting weeks wondering what happens next, you'll begin moving toward your personalized certification path immediately.

Every student is different. Most students finish in approximately:

• 4 months (20+ hours/week)
• 6 months (10–15 hours/week)
• 8 months (5–10 hours/week)

Once your success path has been developed, we'll be able to provide a more personalized estimate.

Yes. You can work on your own pace.

Most of our students are actively serving in their churches while balancing work, family, and ministry.

Your success path is personalized and designed to fit your schedule.

We provide clear next steps, and ongoing encouragement so you always know what to focus on next.

You don't have to figure everything out on your own.

Tuition is $297 per month.
