The sessions will be 90 minutes on Fridays at 12:00 - 1:30pm Eastern Time from mid September to end of November. In the Practicum phase there will be support calls on a 1-2 month basis.

Since the program is designed as a learning lab, you are strongly encouraged to be in attendance. We will be doing mini teaching sessions so it is most beneficial if you are there to participate. If you anticipate missing more than 1-2 sessions, you might wait until next time to participate.

Replays will be available for you to revisit and if you have to miss a session.

We know this time will not work for every single time zone - it will be our experiment for the beta program and we will learn and adjust from there.

We don't yet have an exact time frame for the second cohort to be offered.

The training program will cost $3499 USD. This first beta cohort will be $2999. In exchange for the lower price, we are looking for patient applicants that will give us feedback on our newest curriculum as we go through.

More about official Bullet Journal education here.

It does NOT certify you to:

  • Offer an on-demand video course.
  • Train others how to teach The Bullet Journal Method.

Please note that offering paid trainings or classes on The Bullet Journal® Method without certification is a trademark violation. To share the Bullet Journal practice, individuals interested in teaching Bullet Journal classes can apply for certification through our program.

We are building on what you've learned from Writing for Being. However, it will not be a repeat of the Writing for Being experience.

The Writing for Being experience was about our personal application, journal prompts, self discovery, while the Bullet Journal Trainer Certification is much more about application and live practice. There will be much more live engagement with one another.

This experience is designed for those who are passionate about learning to share the Bullet Journal methodology through a standardized Introduction curriculum. We will explore the depths of the techniques and how we connect them to the needs of others.

Although we will discuss business topics like how to pitch the value of coaching, matching the curriculum to an audience, and so on, we will not be covering the basics of setting up a coaching or training business.

This program will be taught by Bullet Journal Certified Coaches Kerstin Schiemenz and Jessica Chung.

Each session is 90 minutes and will require an estimated 60-90 minutes of work to prepare to teach lessons and study outside of class. It is important to complete the work to stay on track and be prepared for teaching.

The whole process is designed to be completed in six months to reach full licensing.

For this Beta experience, we only have the resources to support the program in English. We highly recommend that you have fluency in English to get the most out of the program. Our replays will be have captions that may provide a strong translation.

For aspiring trainers who intend to teach in a different language than English, we will have an extra session to discuss guidelines and processes.

Every participant needs sufficient internet access that will allow them to join Zoom. A camera and microphone must be available, as there will be both discussions and group work. As we share personal stories, it is incredibly helpful to be able to connect faces to stories.

You'll also want to have a notebook and a pen to write with, of course! Although you might be a digital Bullet Journalist, we encourage you to engage in analog if that is available to you. This can be your current Bujo notebook.

In the programming world, releasing a beta version is the step before the final version. So this is the first iteration of the final course. We’ve spent a lot of time and energy creating this program, and want to test it with a live group to continue making it even better. The feedback from this group will be incredibly valuable. The program is priced accordingly.

We will require a minimum enrollment of 10 participants to run the program.

To request a refund, please email us at support@bulletjournal.com. Make sure to include your order number so we can help you swiftly.

Request a refund before the platform opens (mid-September) for 100% refund.

Once the course begins, refunds will not be offered.

To ensure you understand what the Bullet Journal Trainers Certification will authorize you to do, plan on attending/watching the Bullet Journal workshop in August which is included in your participation in Writing for Being. More information will be announced about this workshop in your email.
