Welcome to CCAR Training!
Home of the nationally recognized Recovery Coach Academy, the leading training program for Recovery Coaches worldwide. Our programs focus on the Art and Science of Recovery Coaching and are based on the fundamentals of coaching excellence. Come learn what it takes to serve others as a Recovery Coach by attending one of our programs, which are now offered online. All are welcome.
We hope to meet all your training needs whether you want to become a recovery coach or are already working in this field and wish to elevate your skills. Our trainings are designed to be delivered in a retreat-like setting, are uniquely experiential, and rely on the experts in the room—you!
Our authorized facilitators model is what we want to see in recovery coaches - the ability to treat people as resources by actively listening and asking good questions, all while discovering and managing their own stuff. It may sound simple, but being able to achieve this goal takes considerable skill. We like to think of it as the Art and Science of Recovery Coaching. Our trainings cover both. Not only do you walk away with the skills, but our programs provide an opportunity to practice and develop your own art!
We hope you will join the over 60,000 individuals who have already participated in our nationally recognized training programs. Across the country, employers are seeking out individuals who have taken the CCAR RCA by name. Past participants are working or volunteering across the country in numerous Emergency Departments, Recovery Community Organizations, Treatment Centers, and more.
We are Recovery Coaches. We are tireless advocates and we are making a difference in the new recovery movement. More importantly, we are saving lives. So, whether you are working as a coach, looking to become one, are a family member, or ally ready to learn about the recovery process, we can promise you a transformational experience.
One thing we know for sure is, transformed people, transform people.
