About this course

In today’s world, women find it increasingly challenging not only to marry but, more importantly, to maintain a stable, lasting marriage. This course prepares you for a meaningful profession—helping women who genuinely desire to build a strong family but lack guidance on how to achieve it. You’ll gain the skills to support them in establishing fulfilling relationships and nurturing a happy, stable home. Here are 15 key things you will learn in the International Matchmaker Academy (IMA) course:

Who Is This Program For?

IMA is built for the resilient, big-hearted woman who is ready for a new chapter. You’ll feel right at home if you are:

• A Russian-speaking woman (ages 25–55) living outside your homeland, navigating a new culture but still carrying the values and intuition you grew up with.
• Seeking a career change or fresh start: Perhaps you’ve put your own career on hold for family or struggled to find meaning in your current path. You’re ready to reinvent yourself in a role that excites you.
• Emotionally intuitive and people-focused: You have a natural empathy and can often read people’s hearts. You might have a psychology or teaching background, or simply a life filled with giving advice and making introductions. Your emotional intelligence is your superpower, and you want to use it.
• Passionate about helping others: Nothing fulfills you more than seeing others happy. You love the idea of being a guide in someone’s love story – the catalyst that helps lonely individuals find their partners. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could do something meaningful that helps people,” this is for you.
• Independent and ambitious: You want to be your own boss and achieve financial independence, but doing something purpose-driven. You aren’t afraid of taking initiative. In fact, your experience adapting to life abroad has proven how resourceful and determined you are. Now you want to channel that resilience into building your own business.
• Looking for flexibility: You might be a mom, a caregiver, or a free spirit who travels. You need a career that fits your life’s demands – one that lets you work from home or anywhere, set your own schedule, and balance work with personal life. Matchmaking can be that flexible, fulfilling path you’ve been searching for.

Why Become a Matchmaker?

Make a difference: Few careers are as rewarding as matchmaking – you have the opportunity to help people find real love and build lasting relationships. Every successful match means two lives changed for the better, thanks to you.

Flexible lifestyle: As a matchmaker, you can be your own boss and set your own hours, creating a work-life balance that fits around you. It’s hard work at times, but the freedom this industry provides is a game changer for those seeking a more flexible, lifestyle-driven career.

Unlimited potential: Grow your business as large as you envision – there’s no upper limit on your earning potential. You could start locally as a one-person operation or expand internationally and build a global brand. The choice is yours, and you control how far you go.

High demand: The matchmaking and dating services market is already a multi-billion dollar industry (worth around $8.5B globally in 2023) and is projected to reach nearly $13B within the next decade. Yet, there are only a few thousand professional matchmakers worldwide – meaning your skills will be sought-after in an industry poised for growth. In short, there’s never been a better time to launch your career in professional matchmaking.

Built for Your Success

Globally Recognized Certification: Earn a certificate that carries weight. Graduates receive an official Certified Matchmaker designation and Seal of Excellence to display – credentials that build instant credibility and trust with clients and peers. Our program is aligned with international matchmaking standards, so you’re seen as a true professional worldwide, not just a hobbyist. (The Matchmaking Institute in New York, for example, was long the only school authorized to certify matchmakers – our academy builds on that legacy of quality and global recognition.)

Marketplace & Client Leads: We don’t just hand you a certificate and send you off – we actively help you start your business. Upon certification, you become a verified matchmaker on SoulMatcher’s Matcher™ Marketplace, a one-of-a-kind platform that serves as both your client pipeline and your matchmaking toolkit. You’ll gain access to an ever-expanding database of quality-vetted singles around the world, dramatically expanding the pool of matches you can offer your clients. Even more, our platform provides client referrals to jumpstart your roster – connecting you with people seeking matchmaking services through SoulMatcher. In short, you’ll have real clients and candidates at your fingertips from day one, and a full-featured CRM system integrated to manage all your matches and communications. This all-in-one setup means you can hit the ground running as a new matchmaker with both the tools and clientele to succeed.

Global Community & Network: When you join the International Matchmaker Academy, you’re joining a supportive community of like-minded professionals. Connect with an international network of certified matchmakers, coaches, and industry leaders who can mentor you, answer questions, and collaborate on tough matches. Building these relationships will enrich your career – you’ll have peers to share advice, refer clients or candidates, and celebrate successes together. (Many Academy graduates credit the contacts and confidence they gained through our network for helping them launch successful agencies and even win industry awards.) We believe in growing together, so you’ll never feel alone as you navigate your new profession.

Ongoing Support & Growth: Your development doesn’t stop at graduation. We provide extensive post-course support to continue boosting your success. You’ll have access to mentorship and resources as you establish your business – for example, join regular live Q&A calls with experts for 6 months after you graduate, so you can get advice while you set up your practice. We also host advanced workshops, webinars, and send you updates on the latest matchmaking trends, so you can keep your skills sharp and stay ahead of the curve. As part of SoulMatcher’s professional network, you may receive discounts to industry events or conferences and opportunities for further certifications down the line (e.g. relationship coaching specialties), allowing you to continuously expand your expertise. Our mission is to empower you for the long run – with the knowledge, community, and technology to thrive in helping people find love, now and throughout your matchmaking career.
