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.
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.
- 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 only additional cost is one Advanced Training Intensive each year (IM Reset or IM Evolution).
