F.A.Q. - Active Relationships Center

Active Relationships Curricula

Is there a faith-based Active Military Life and Resiliency Skills?

Can AR facilitators modify the order and number of modules presented?

Regarding Facilitator Certification

Will my certification expire if I am not "active" as an AR facilitator?

Yes. To retain your certification, you are required to teach at least ONE Active Relationships class per year (of any of the ARC programs in which you are certified). ARC records indicate when facilitators are teaching via communication with our offices and book-orders for classes. When orders are placed with ARC, the name of the facilitator who is teaching the class is required (since books are not sold to the public or to non-certified ARC facilitators). If you are part of an installation or part of an organization using our curricula, simply email us and let us know.

Are there dues to remain an Active Relationships Center facilitator?

Regarding Products and Materials

Do I have to purchase participant books for classes I teach?

How much do participant books cost?

Do the prices include shipping?

How do I order participant books?

What about teaching aids (such as the little cards we use in the trainings)? Are they an extra cost from the books for participants?

Retreats or Classes for Youth, Singles, Premarrieds, Couples or Families:

Can Professional Certification trainings be mixed with a seminar/retreat for participants?

Yes! Several organizations have chosen to bring ARC master trainers to present to clients and allow trainee facilitators to attend the seminar to receive certification in the program – A two-for-one (client event and leadership training)! In this Seminar/Training, personnel who will be trained to become facilitators of a curricula train with the Master Trainers before the actual seminar, then attend the seminar with agency clients, and then meet again with the ARC Master Trainers after the seminar to debrief and review important program points or ask questions about the curriculum.

Can a Professional Certification training include more than one curriculum?

Are ARC Master Trainers available for events outside of the U.S.?
