Nomveliso Mbanga Teencoaching™ — Certification Pathway

What the partial scholarship actually means

Mayine's Teencoaching™ certification ecosystem represents a significant investment in tools, training, supervision, brand licensing, and ongoing professional infrastructure. The Partial Scholarship model allows a qualified practitioner to enter at a commitment fee — a meaningful, non-negotiable upfront amount — with the remainder structured into a revenue-share arrangement as you build your practice.

This is not a payment plan. It is a partnership model. You commit. We commit back. You bring clients. We share the revenue. The balance clears through real practice — and by the time it does, you have a functioning coaching business.

Your Entry Commitment
R35,000 – R45,000
Paid upfront in full at acceptance. The amount depends on your chosen pathway — CIAT™ only or CIAT™ plus a specialisation.
How the Balance Clears
10 Clients · R950/month
You bring 10 teen coaching clients into your practice on a 12-month contract at R950 per person per month. Mayine takes 70% of the gross revenue to offset your balance. You keep 30%.
What Your 30% Covers
Retreat then Income
Your 30% (R2,850/month) covers your annual residential retreat for the first 6 months. From Month 7 onwards it flows directly to you as income.

How the scholarship works

From application to active practice — here is what to expect at every stage.

01

Submit Your Application

Complete the application form on this page. Our team reviews all submissions to assess alignment, readiness, and fit within the Mayine ecosystem. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by Penny, our Operations Lead, within 5–7 business days.

02

Alignment Conversation

Shortlisted applicants are invited to a focused conversation with Nomveliso or a designated team member to confirm readiness, discuss the revenue-share structure, agree on the applicable scholarship pathway, and answer any outstanding questions.

03

Scholarship Offer and Agreement

Successful applicants receive a formal Scholarship Offer outlining the commitment fee, the 70/30 revenue-share terms, the client contract requirements, and the full timeline to licensing transition. You will have time to review before signing.

Commitment fee is payable in full upon signing
04

Enrolment and Onboarding

Once your commitment fee is received, you are formally enrolled into your certification programme. Onboarding, induction, and your programme schedule follow within the agreed commencement window. You begin sourcing your 10 teen clients from Month 4 when the practicum bridge opens.

05

Practice, Revenue Share and Transition

As a scholarship candidate you build a real practice from inside your certification. Revenue share applies monthly until your balance is cleared — at which point you transition automatically to standard MaGICA™ Licensed Associate terms.

Choose your pathway

The scholarship is available on two certification pathways. Both use the same 70/30 revenue-share model and the same 10-client mechanic. The difference is the commitment fee, the total balance to recover, and the timeline to licensing transition.

Scholarship eligibility criteria

The Partial Scholarship is for practitioners who are genuinely ready to build a Teencoaching™ practice and are aligned with the values, methodology, and standards of the Mayine ecosystem.

Genuine Financial NeedYou cannot access the full certification fee immediately but are financially stable enough to pay the commitment fee upfront and sustain a coaching practice.

Experience with Young PeopleYou have a background — formal or informal — working with pre-teens, teenagers, young adults, or families.

Aligned Values and Practice EthicsYour values around youth development, indigenous identity, and community accountability align with the Mayine framework and code of practice.

Clear Practice IntentionYou have a realistic and considered plan for where and how you intend to practise — and you can articulate it clearly in your application.

Ability to Source 10 ClientsYou have a realistic network or community from which you can bring 10 teen coaching clients within the first 4 months of your certification journey.

New to the Mayine EcosystemThe scholarship is for prospective practitioners entering for the first time. Existing coaches have a separate upgrade pathway.

Payment Policy

The commitment fee is payable in full upon signing your Scholarship Agreement. This applies without exception. In extraordinary circumstances, a split arrangement may be considered at Mayine's sole discretion — this must be requested in your application and is not guaranteed.
