CIAC™ — Certified Identity-Anchored Career Coach™
The teenager you coached is now 19. They are standing at one of the most disorienting transitions of their life. This certification extends your practice into that territory — career design, self-discovery, and the identity work of early adulthood, using the same indigenous framework you already carry.

Earning Potential
The young adult
premium market
Young adult clients are often self-funding or corporately funded. They command a higher minimum rate than teen clients — and the institutional market (tertiary, corporate graduate, NGO) adds a significant non-one-on-one income layer.
These are illustrations of what is structurally possible — not promises. The methodology, the pricing floor, and the MAE™ licence are already built for you. What you earn depends on how fully you use them.
CIAC™ holders who also hold CIAT™ can serve the full 9–35 age range. This is the most commercially powerful profile in the Mayine ecosystem — one practitioner, one framework, one family's entire developmental arc from pre-teen through early adulthood.
Practice Model
8 young adult sessions/week @ R1,500 | R48,000 P/M and R576,000 p/a
10 young adult group sessions/week @ R950pp | R38,000pm and R456,000 p/a
Corporate graduate programme (2/year @ R20,000) | Quote based and R40,000 additional
CIAT™ + CIAC™ combined (12 teen + 8 young adult/week) @ R130,000p/m additional
