Compare AAN Foundations Formats
Regardless of which AAN Foundations format you choose, the curriculum remains the same. The different formats are three ways to work through the material.
What Stays The Same
All three formats include the same core curriculum and a certificate of completion. They differ in live support, schedule, and ICF continuing education eligibility. All include:
-
Self-study materials: 12 modules of content (300+ units) and 33 hours of video content.(3-7 hrs/module depending on how you like to take notes).
-
Hands-on application: The course involves substantial independent study and practical exploration across 12 modules. Discussions are highly application-oriented + the course includes 6 hours of recorded case studies and illustrations.
-
Certificate of completion: All three formats will provide you with a certificate. This completion certificate is different from the AANC coaching credential, which requires a separate practicum after Foundations.
"I LEARNED A LOT" DOESN'T COME CLOSE.
"I understand now, at a much deeper level, why insight alone so often fails to create transformation. People can know exactly what they need to change, desperately want to change it, and still repeat the same pattern...I don’t think I will ever look at resistance the same way again. Instead of seeing it as something standing between a person and change, I can see it as a doorway into the change itself...I’m leaving with a renewed sense of possibility for people. We are not simply the stories we inherited, the meanings we once assigned experiences, or the neural pathways we have traveled most often. We can also build new ones."
