Help people create a life they don’t need to escape from.
Feeling excited about sobriety? Are you getting that sense of a new purpose waiting in the wings? If you’ve been researching sober coach training programmes, you’ve probably noticed that many require 6-12 months of commitment, lengthy essays, and academic-style assignments that can feel disconnected from the real work of coaching.
We took a different approach. the Sober Club Accredited Coach Training can be completed in 8-weeks.*
It is intentionally designed to be thorough, comprehensive, and practical without the unnecessary barriers that delay your ability to start making a difference.
Real Skills Over Essays
You won’t spend months writing papers. Instead, you’ll develop the actual coaching skills you need. You’ll work with people who are drinking more than they want to. They’re not at rock bottom. However, they are ready to get free from the alcohol trap.
You’ll learn active listening and powerful questioning. Additionally, you’ll master boundary setting and relapse prevention strategies. Most importantly, you’ll discover how to hold space for transformation.
Beyond that, you’ll explore the holistic approach to positive sobriety. This includes nutrition, mindset, and self-care. You’ll also learn about balancing the nervous system.
Comprehensive Yet Efficient
Eight weeks might sound quick. But this isn’t a shortcut. It’s a streamlined, focused approach that respects your time. At the same time, it ensures you’re fully equipped.
Every module is designed around what actually works in the field. Not what looks good on a syllabus. Furthermore, there’s ongoing mentoring and support throughout your journey.
Skills for Life
This training doesn’t just prepare you to coach others. It changes how you show up in every relationship. It transforms every conversation and how you face each challenge. In other words, the skills you learn become part of who you are.
Brilliant Results
Our graduates consistently tell us something important. They felt prepared to begin working with clients immediately. Therefore, the training bridges the gap between learning and doing. You’re not left wondering “what now?” when you finish.
Getting Your Coaching Business Established
Recently, we surveyed trained wellbeing coaches and therapists. A large number admitted something surprising. They hadn’t started using their skills. They felt ill-equipped or lacking in confidence to get going.
We do things differently. We encourage getting your business going right away.
That might look different for everyone. For instance, some of our coaches work one-to-one online. Others prefer in-person sessions. Some coaches run group programmes, workshops, or retreats. Others simply take people for “Sober Strolls” on the beach.
We help you create the business that works for you.
Ongoing Support
There’s ongoing mentoring, support, and connection. You’ll be part of our coaches family. For a small monthly fee, you can join our mastermind group. Where appropriate, you’ll also feature on the Find a Sober Coach Directory. This is where most coaches get all their leads.

“After coaching my first clients, I can say that Janey’s training prepared me fantastically well. The thought of helping someone change their relationship with alcohol was daunting. However, Janey’s training gave me an array of practical and easily implementable tools. In addition to the coaching training, the course provides a wealth of knowledge about setting up your coaching business. It makes everything feel straightforward and effective.
