• You need to hold onto your certificate of completion as proof that you completed the course. We do not retain copies and will charge a processing fee if the certificate needs to be reissued. 

Nope, not at all. There is no certification or license required to teach accents and pronunciation.   Anyone can do it. Some of us just do it a lot better than others ;)

After completing this program, you will be certified in The Accent Channel Method of Speech Improvement and you will receive a certificate of training.  You can use this certification to promote your services, but it is not a requirement to start teaching or offering services.

Definitely not!

You don’t need to be a native speaker but you do need to speak English at an advanced level.

There are several non-native speakers in the program and most of them are already out there working with their own students.

That’s exactly what I wondered when I took my first accent coaching job.

Even if you’ve never worked with a student before, this program will give you the skills, structure, and confidence to start teaching right away. You’ll get everything you need: a proven method, ready-to-use materials, and a clear plan for building impactful, high-value coaching programs.

If you’ve already worked with accent students but aren’t getting the results—or rebookings—you want, this training will show you exactly how to improve your outcomes, keep students engaged, and build long-term coaching relationships.

This program is a great fit for anyone interested in American English pronunciation—especially SLPs, ESL teachers, voice coaches, actors, and other speech or language professionals. If you’ve taken even one phonetics course or worked with articulation, you’re more prepared than you think.

You’ll learn how to work with real, paying clients—and with the guidance, tools, and support included in the program, you’ll grow your confidence every step of the way. And if you have questions? I’ll be here to help.

The program is completely self-paced, with the exception of any Live Group Coaching sessions.  However, the coaching sessions are always available as a replay, so technically, you can work through those at your own pace as well.

You'll have access to all lessons as soon as you enroll, so you can start the program immediately.

The program was designed to be part training, part resource library.  

The core training gets you ready to work with students and teach the 11 most common goals for non-native speakers.

After you've completed that, you'll want to start working through the training and practice library that shows you how to teach every sound of American English.  There are 350+ lessons, some instructional, some focused on repetition practice.  

I'm not sure how many hours are in the practice libraries, but they are meant to be used as a resource depending on what your students need.   

For example, L vs. R is not covered in the core training because it is a less common goal, unless you are working with a native speaker of one of the languages of East Asia, i.e. Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, etc.

But there is training and practice for L vs. R in the Sounds Practice Library so when you have a student who needs to work on this goal, or if you know that you will have students in the future who need to work on it, you will go to the practice library, learn to teach it, and download all the materials that you will need for your sessions. 

You have lifetime access to the core training, so you can work at your own pace and revisit the material at any time.  You have 1 year of free access to the practice library in The Speech Coach Collective and can choose to renew access after the first year.

I do have several British and Australian teachers who have completed the program and are now working with students and teaching the British or Australian accent. 

The core training is the same, regardless of which accent you are teaching.  I use the method that you learn in the program to teach dialects to actors, so the process is the same, you just teach different sounds, if that makes sense.  

Because I teach several different British and Australian accents to actors, I can help you with the sounds, if needed.  You can ask in the Facebook group or we can discuss at one of the monthly Live Coaching sessions.   I'm very hands-on inside the program, so if it's not a weekend, you'll usually hear back from me the same day.   I really do offer every bit of knowledge, support, and advice that I can to the teachers in the program.

Kristen is an Australian Speech-Language Pathologist and she wrote this in the course survey section of the program.

"Even though I'm Australian (working in Australia), The 11 Essential American Goals section was still extremely useful as it provided a structural model for teaching articulation/artic cueing to this client population. As an SLP with a background in linguistics, I have a good enough understanding of the (significant) vowel differences between the Australian and American accent that I could tweak these lessons to suit my needs. Having said that, the /ae/ vs /eh/ difficulty is definitely still relevant for students learning the Australian accent!"

That being said, all of the practice audios that I offer in the program are recorded in a General American Accent, so you wouldn't be able to use those with your students.  You would have the accompanying practice sheets, so you could use them in your sessions and model for your students, but the audios wouldn't work for between session practice if you are teaching anything other than the General American Accent.

Yes.  All participants who complete the program will receive a certificate of training.
