What Is The Apprentice Program?

The Apprentice Program is an experiential certification program that puts you on a path to becoming a certified IM Trainer, licensed to teach the IM Method through Power Series Classes and One-on-One Personal Mastery Training as an independent business owner. 

Individuals accepted into the program will receive specialized instruction, led by Joey Klein, that is designed to prepare you to succeed as a certified IM Trainer, and build a meaningful and financially abundant training practice. 


Who Is The Program For?

Those with a desire to serve, who need a vehicle

If you have passion, a desire to learn and grow, and an impulse to pay forward the training that has made a difference for you, you’re perfect for this program!

Those who are still works in progress

Everyone gets triggered. We are all works in progress and on our own journey of personal mastery. Joining the Apprentice Program will fast track your growth—you can accelerate your growth 3-5 fold by leaning in to this training!

"I've always wanted to help people, to serve… but I ended up enabling them. With the IMS Apprentice Program, I gained the skills and talent to be able to truly support and empower others."

"I'm still dealing with my own stuff, I still get triggered; am I fit to serve right now?"

Hear what our Apprentices have to say...

Constance shares her experience of learning to be present with people and serve...and what that gave her in return.

"I don't know how to do 1-1s or classes! I don't know how to train people. Am I qualified to be an Apprentice?"

 "I've never run a business - are you going to train me how to run a trainer business?" 

What Do We Learn?

Training Skills & Talents

As an Apprentice, your job is not to teach, coach or train. Your job is to guide people through the Power Series courses, with step-by-step support and training from Joey and the team. Turnkey support materials include session-by-session outlines and checklists and facilitator manuals for each of the Power Series courses. The entire Apprentice Program is designed to prepare you to serve clients dynamically as a Trainer, and the Trainer Program provides ongoing talent training, so you can continue to grow.

Business Skills & Entrepreneurship

The Apprentice Program is built and run by entrepreneurs, and is streamlined to support people to build thriving Trainer businesses. As an Apprentice we will train you in a set of systems that are modeled after the Trainer System, preparing you to run and build your business upon certification. As a certified licensee, so much of the work is done for you by IMS—from branding and marketing to CRM and merchant processing (and a whole lot in between)! In addition, the Trainer Program includes multiple ongoing training opportunities to support you to thrive.


What's The Commitment?

Time & Focus

Our Apprentices have a wide variety of accountabilities and lifestyles outside their Apprentice journey, including demanding careers, family responsibilities, and other endeavors. As such, the Apprentice Program can be engaged at your own pace. You can take your time and certify in 4 years or more; you can also drive hard and certify in a year. Some people engage the program for their own growth and development, and decide later whether to certify or not. The Trainer Program is similar—you can be a Trainer full-time, part-time or simply as a support to the community; you can teach Power Series Classes (or not) and 1-1s (or not). You are in the driver seat.

In addition to attending four Power Series Weekend Intensives in person each year, you'll attend two Apprentices Intensives. Apprentices Intensives take place in Denver, on the Monday-Tuesday immediately following the Power Series Weekend Intensives in January and July. You will also attend the Apprentice Monthly Zoom with Joey, and have access to additional ongoing training opportunities with Kate and lead Trainers.

Financial

The Apprentice Membership is $385/mo, and it replaces any other membership you may have, covering all your Power Series Weekends, all four Power Series Classes each year, all your digital content, PLUS two Apprentice Intensives per year, as well as monthly ongoing training with Joey, Kate, and lead Trainers.

  • Already a Trainer Boost Member? Upgrading to the Apprentice Membership is only an additional $170/mo.
  • Already a Foundations Member? Upgrading to the Apprentice Membership is just an additional $255/mo.

The Apprentice Membership is a 1 year commitment. The 12-month contract begins on the date of upgrade; first month is prorated. Following the first consecutive 12-month period, this membership converts to month-to-month, and requires 30 days notice to cancel.

The only additional cost is one Advanced Training Intensive each year—IM Reset (starting at $2749) or IM Evolution ($3999 for Apprentices & Trainers, reg. $4999).

Apprentices onboarding in Spring: attend one ATI per year starting the current calendar year. If the current year Reset and Evolution are sold out, register for the following year and get on the waitlist for the current year.

Apprentices onboarding in Fall: attend one ATI per year starting the following calendar year. Be sure to register before the end of this year for next year's required ATI. Sell out risk is high and we can only guarantee your spot next year if you register before the end of this year.

"I don't have time to be a full-time Apprentice or full-time Trainer. What can this look like for me?
