Professional Coach Training to Multiply Your Impact

Transformational leadership requires new ways of communicating with those you work with. Coaching skills are essential.

This 60-hour professional coach training is for anyone who wishes to gain empowering coaching skills and take on a part-time or full-time coaching role. It's led from a faith-based perspective (read more on that here). And we are the leading provider of coaching training for cross-cultural non-profit organizations. Graduates may go on to apply for an International Coach Federation credential.
