The gold standard<\/a> for being a coach is membership in the International Coach Federation (ICF). \u00a0\u00a0The ICF requires 60 hours of training to become a member.\u00a0 In addition to membership, the ICF offers credentialing – think about it this way: becoming a member of the ICF is much like getting a degree, and then earning a credential is much like getting a masters or doctorate level degree.<\/p>\n

At the Center for Coaching Certification, the first training program is the ICF-approved Certified Professional Coach<\/a>– a 30-hour program that serves to initiate people into the coaching competencies and develop coaching skills, plus provide a process.<\/p>\n

The second level is the ICF-approved Certified Master Coach program totaling 35 hours (the Certified Professional Coach program is a prerequisite).\u00a0 This program completes the 60 hours required for membership in the ICF, and the hours required for the first level of credentialing, the ACC.\u00a0 The Certified Master Coach program adds group coaching plus is a deeper dive into the coaching competencies, taking your coaching expertise to a more advanced level.<\/p>\n

Back to the first step: The Certified Professional Coach program begins with five live, interactive online webinars covering tools and techniques for developing and enhancing coaching competencies. \u00a0These are followed by research and practice homework assigned during each webinar.\u00a0\u00a0Next is a group session for Q&A time plus reviewing the resources provided to graduates.\u00a0 The coaching practicum follows, either online on in one of many different cities, and you will experience coaching hands-on.\u00a0 After the coaching practicum you will complete a case study. \u00a0Completion of these steps means you receive your certificate.\u00a0 After certification, recordings on business and marketing plus a monthly Q&A call are included and available\u00a0to all graduates as part of the program.<\/p>\n

At $1,895.00, our program is one of the most affordable ICF (International Coach Federation) approved programs in the country.\u00a0 The classes are packed with information, stimulating, and fun. \u00a0Additional benefits of the Center for Coaching Certification include:<\/p>\n
