Frequently Asked Questions
I’m in a different time zone and/or cannot attend live webinar sessions. How will this affect me?
No problem. Each session will be recorded and available to watch or re-watch any time throughout the course. We’ve had individuals complete the program from all over the world. We’re also available during office hours and through email support, so you can get your questions answered.
Why does this program cost so much?
We understand that certification is pricier up front than some of our other offerings. We’re confident that the return on your investment will be more than worthwhile when you see direct results in the growth of your own business, and/or as an official Mindbody Certified Business Consultant. Consider this an investment in yourself and your business’s future. You’ll get access to hundreds of hours of content created by our expert business education team. We see businesses who participate in any MBU program grow 20% more than similar businesses who didn’t participate.
I’m highly motivated and don’t need live training. Is there a self-paced training available online?
No, the current offering is designed as an immersive experience, with live instruction provided through visiting educators, coursework dependent on partnered exercises, and invaluable Q&A times with our expert instructors.
I’ve been using Mindbody software forever and have been helping my friends with their questions. I feel like I’m already a consultant.
This certification program focuses on best business practices beyond Mindbody software knowledge, so you can consult with businesses on how to grow their attendance, revenue, and retention. If you’re interested in participating in a certification program that is specific to the software, check out our Software Certifications page.
Do I need to own a Mindbody site to participate in this certification process?
While it may prove useful to have your own Mindbody site, it’s not required, and we can provide you with a demonstration site to use for reference.
