Coming from an architecture background, I was extremely worried that I just wouldn’t know enough and that it would take forever to learn what I needed to. But since starting—and finishing—the course and going through the practicums, I truly feel like a book coach!

FAQs

  1. How does Blueprint Method Training relate to Book Coach Certification?


    The Blueprint has always been the heart of our certification program. For the first time, you can learn this method on its own and if you meet the standard we have set, become a Blueprint Facilitator. Book Coach Certification involves two additional trainings, which you can apply for once you become a Blueprint Facilitator. See Book Coach Certification details LINK TO DETAILS

  2. Do I have to become a Blueprint Facilitator?


    No. Blueprint Method Training is complete on its own. Becoming a Blueprint Facilitator is optional. This is a designation which shows that you have met the standards of excellence that we set. The Blueprint Facilitator Intensive is a pass/no pass program. Those who pass and pay a Licensing Fee are added to a directory listing and the Facilitator community. LINK TO FEE SCHEDULE

  3. Do I need a client to start Blueprint Method Training?


    Not for Training. You’ll need to find a writer to work with if you enroll in the Blueprint Method Facilitator Practicum. We recommend having a writer in mind before signing up for the intensive. Many of our students find writers in writing groups; associations; among fellow alumni; calls posted on blogs, social media, etc.; past clients; or as referrals from family and friends. Finding a writer with whom you can practice is an important part of the learning process, and helps prepare our students for finding clients to work with in the future.
