Program Designs

This introductory cohort-based training program is designed to build foundational coaching skills. It offers a Level 1 certification upon completion with two format options: one 3-day weekend intensive or 3 months of once-weekly course meetings. This 60-hour program covers three modules: Coaching Foundations, Relationship Building, Coaching for Empowerment, and Transformative Dialogue. Course requirements include the following:

• 12 Independent study hours
• 3 hours of mentor coaching
• 3 hours of masterminding
• A final performance evaluation

Students who complete the Foundations Course meet the training hours necessary to apply for a Level 1 credential through the International Coach Federation. This program does not include embedded commitment coaching.
