CMC® Certification Program
Become a
Certified Money Coach.
Earn the original behavioral money coaching credential — and give your clients the psychological framework they need to finally transform their relationship with money.
Why CMC®?
The only certification
built on 25 years
of proven methodology.
The CMC® isn’t a generic coaching certification with a financial module bolted on. It’s a complete behavioral methodology — developed by Deborah Price over 25 years of working directly with clients — that addresses money at the level where change actually happens.
You will graduate with a step-by-step system you can use immediately with individuals, couples, and business clients. Most CMC® graduates begin working with clients before they finish the program.

Who This Is For
CMC® training is built for practitioners with existing experience and clients.
The program is designed to complement your existing practice — not replace it. You bring the relationships and the professional context; we give you the methodology to go deeper.
Having existing clients is strongly recommended, as Module 3 requires working with two practice clients to complete certification.
