Q. When will 2012 C.LAC.™ Course Dates be posted?
A. Due to increased project and travel committments for 2012, Dr. Rinaldi will have very limited availability to run the regular three-week course format, at least through August of 2012. For schedule updates, please join the course e-mail list.
Q. How long is the course from start to finish?
A. The online component is three-weeks in length. Students are allowed two additional weeks from the last day of the online course to complete the online final exam and submit their final case-study assignment.
Q. How much time do I need to set aside each day for my course work?
A. Generally, 2 - 3 hours each course day during the three-week segment should be sufficient for completing your daily tasks, reading, etc. Some days will require less time, some possibly more, depending on your level of participation on the discussion forums, written work, etc. Remember, there is no set daily schedule --- you are able to choose the most convenient time to visit the online campus each day.
Q. Do students automatically receive certification upon completion of the course?
A. C.LAC. has been designed to be challenging. It is a college-level course compressed into a 5-week period (3-weeks online / 2-weeks to complete the final exam and case-study). Students must successfully complete all course work, written assignments, quizzes and the final exam with a passing score of 70% or higher to earn the C.LAC. Keep in mind, however, that the course is designed to be both challenging and FUN. We have not added any "busy-work" to the curriculum. All required work has one primary purpose -- to help you realize positive personal growth during the course, as well as to help you learn how to integrate those positive changes with your daily life AFTER the course is complete.
I know that some people will hear "written assignments" and "final exam" and the fear immediately sets-in! -- But, I strongly encourage you to embrace this challenge - NOT back away from it because there is some work involved. Students are supported each step of the way - and we are flexible in regard to allowing for the resubmission of work if necessary.
Q. What is the tuition for C.LAC.?
A. The standard tuition is US$895.
Q. Are there extended tuition payment plans available?
A. While not officially available from the site, we do generally offer a two-installment option - one installment due just prior to the start of the course - and the 2nd (and final) installment approximately 5-weeks later. Please send a note to the C.LAC. Administration Office (after submitting your omline registration and course deposit) if you would like to request this 2-installment option.
Q. Can I enroll in a resident program for this course, or complete it by correspondence?
A. C.LAC. is available as an intensive online program, utilizing the world-class online campus system of ICMT. -- We do, however, plan to begin offering very limited live classroom / online hybrid programs in a limited number of global locations later in 2010. The first will be in South Australia beginning in July 2010. If you are interested in attending a ccourse in that location, please contact us. Join our C.LAC mailing list for more details.
Q. Is the C.LAC. course open to people of all spiritual paths and beliefs?
A. Yes, absolutely. The powerful practice of positive manifestation belongs to all people - regardless of the spiritual path you follow - or whether you follow any spiritual path at all. I neither force, nor promote my personal metaphysical beliefs during the course. While we do discuss some of the known metaphysical origins of the LOA, the course material is objective and non-biased. Q. Isn't the Law of Attraction all about trying to manifest money and material possessions?
A. That may be the case for other LOA books and courses, but it is certainly not my approach - and it is definitely not the approach of the C.LAC course. In C.LAC, we focus entirely on creating a holistic state of HARMONY in our lives, as opposed to simply wishing for a disjointed collection of material "things". By focusing on harmony, we are more likely to attract abundance holistically. When we focus solely on money or material "things", we may realize those "things" in our lives, but often quickly realize that they do not necessarily bring happiness or fulfillment on their own. Q. Are there any prerequisites for enrollment?
A. The C.LAC Certificate program is open to everyone (18 or older) worldwide. All enrollees should hold a High School Diploma, or the equivalent in their country. The course is provided in English-only. Due to the online nature of the program, all participants must have access to a computer connected to the Internet. Participants should possess sufficient reading and writing skills. This is a college-level course that includes several graded case-study writing assignments of 3 - 5 pages in length, along with some fairly complex reading material. The C.LAC program has been designed to be intensive, challenging and highly though-provoking. Accept the challenge -- You can do it!
Q. I am from outside of the USA. Will that be a problem?
A. Not at all. We welcome students from all over the world. All that is required is an Internet connection - and the ability to take a college-level class online in English. The online campus system is available for access all day, every day. You can access the campus at a time convenient for you no matter what your time-zone or work schedule.
Q. What is the difference between being a Law of Attraction Coach - and a Law of Attraction Counselor?
A. In the context of Law of Attraction practice, we often use the term "coach" and "counselor" interchangeably. Law of Attraction counseling typically falls under the umbrella of spiritual counseling and/or life-coaching. Q. What are the legal / business considerations of operating as a Law of Attraction Coach - or Law of Attraction Counselor?
A. While life-coaching is a largely unregulated field internationally, there may be guidelines unique to your country / state / province and/or locality you will need to be aware of. If you intend to coach others, it is strongly suggested that understand the guidelines for practice in this field where you live and/or intend to practice. Neither the course instructor(s), nor the course materials will provide any legal advice. As you would with any new business venture, you should always consult a qualified attorney with any and all legal questions. Q. Is there a course study option for those that want to learn the concepts and practices covered in C.LAC - without going through the full certificate program?
A. Not at this time. However, this option is currently being designed and is expected to be available later in 2011. Please join my mailing list (link opens in a new window) if you would like to be notified when this option becomes available.
Q. I have seen other Law of Attraction Coaching programs with MUCH higher tuition rates - $3,000 - $5,000+ in some cases. Why is the tuition for the C.LAC™ Program so much less?
A. My goal with C.LAC™ was to be able to offer the best and most effective training in Metaphysical LOA Coaching at a tuition rate that is highly affordable. At only US$895, the C.LAC. course is a tremendous value and we intend to continue to maintain a very affordable and competitive tuition rate. Q. I have seen other LOA Coaching programs that are many months longer than C.LAC™. What's the difference?
A. C.LAC™ packs an enormous amount of material and learning time into a short 5-week period (i.e., 3-week online component / 2-week final assignment period). The intensive nature of this program means that we cover in a short period what other courses would need much longer to accomplish. We want you to complete the course and have the confidence to go out and get started with coaching right away. With C.LAC™, you can potentially be up and running in just 6 - 8 weeks!
Q) What is the refund and/or withdrawal policy for the C.LAC. course?
A) All online payments for the C.LAC. course are managed by BBI Online Courses. The course deposit is non-refundable. Upon receipt of your tuition deposit and application, you are considered to be officially enrolled in the program and expected to fulfill your tuition obligation.. Should you decide to withdraw from the program within the first three (3) days of the course, a refund of the tuition balance payment will be given, less a $75.00 administration fee. Withdrawals between 3 and 5 days will receive a 50% refund of the tuition balance payment, less a $75 administration fee. No refunds will be given after 5 course days (Day-5). Please note that no refunds are given for any books or other suggested material purchased through third-party vendors.
