Certification Requirements for Accent and Pronunciation Training Services

Are you thinking about jumping into the world of accent and pronunciation training but worried you need some sort of certification to get started? Let's bust that myth wide open!

MYTH: You need to be certified before you can offer accent and pronunciation training services.

TRUTH:  There is no certification, licensure, or degree required to provide accent and pronunciation training.  Yes, you read that right – ANYONE can offer accent training services.

We are not working with disorders.  This is not therapy or treatment.  It’s elective coaching aimed at helping individuals improve their communication skills. There is no national or state licensing board or certification organization for accent or pronunciation training.

You should be qualified to offer accent training, but you don’t need to be certified to do it.  Qualified and certified are not the same thing. 

However, it's worth considering that many potential students seek credibility and assurance when choosing an accent coach.  Students want to be sure that they are working with a qualified professional, so if you do decide to get a certification for accent training, it can be a valuable marketing tool and help you find students.
