Learn to Help People Actually Change

Taking Foundations is the First Step to a Professional Coach Certification

Foundations is the first course of both the Level 1 Coaching Mastery Certificate Program and the Level 2 Professional Coach Certificate Program.

Step 1: Coaching Mastery Foundations. Your road to becoming an effective coach starts with a hands-on, interactive coaching intensive. This 3.5-hour x 4 sessions program gives you the tools, practice, and feedback you need to use coaching at work and in life.

Step 2: Coaching Mastery Advantage. Continue your journey developing your coaching skills and mindsets, expanding your capacities, both professionally and personally. This longer course includes what you need to set up and confidently engage in intentional coaching conversations. The course takes 5 months, because as a set of skills, coaching takes practice and feedback, which takes time. And it works. 

• Six 3.5-hour plenary sessions delivered over Zoom. Your road to becoming a professional coach continues with a hands-on, interactive coaching intensive.
• Five 2-hour online small group mentor coaching sessions, over the next three months. Immediately following the plenary sessions, these small group classes are led by our instructor to further equip you.
• Two 90-minute individual mentor coaching sessions. To fine-tune your coaching after you've had a few months of practice, one of our instructors will meet with you one-on-one online. This learning process will move you forward and prepare you for your ICF ACC application, if you wish.
• A final assessment. We'll help you prepare a coaching conversation and give it a full Level 1 performance evaluation.

When you've completed the above requirements and pass the final assessment, you'll receive your ICF Level 1 Certificate from us. Once you also have 100 total client coaching hours, you may apply to the ICF for an ACC using the faster, easier and less expensive ICF ACC Level 1 application path.
