How to Become a Professional Recovery Coach With IAPRC
- Choose your path. The PRCC focuses on recovery coaching, the CPC builds core coaching skills, and the PRCC Dual brings both together.
- Learn online at your own pace. Most students finish the 80-hour PRCC in 4 to 6 months and the 120-hour PRCC Dual in 6 to 9 months.
- Earn your credential. Graduates receive the Professional Recovery Coach Certificate, the Certified Professional Coach credential, or both with the PRCC Dual.
Recovery coaching is non-clinical and future-focused. Coaches don’t diagnose or provide treatment, and they can work alongside a person’s counselor or treatment team. The PRCC is a professional certificate issued by IAPRC, not a state license.
