Become a Life Coach

So you want to become a life coach (or maybe just check it out and see what's involved in working as a professional life coach)—for anyone who is curious about becoming a coach, there are usually a lot of questions.

The next question is how you become a life coach: Is training required? How do you start?

Life coaching is an interesting industry, one that has evolved rapidly particularly in the past decade. There’s been substantial growth in coach training program options and so if you’re going to become a coach, your first step is to think about training.

Training Options to Become a Life Coach

You now have a range of options for training to become a life coach and you can choose the programs that are the best fit for you.

Do you want something large and methodical? Or something small and personalized?

When we were designing the curriculum for the CLCC coach training program, one thing that we felt was important for anyone wanting to become a life coach is to model our curriculum after the International Coach Federation’s Core Competencies.

Graduates of our program have secured ICF credentials at the ACC and PCC levels. Because we are Level 1 Accredited by the ICF, you can immediately apply for your ACC credential after finishing all graduation and coaching hours requirements from the ICF.

We recommend that anyone who wants to become a life coach makes a point of receiving some kind of training—you want to know that you have put yourself through the rigor and investment of time that is necessary to truly feel confident being a coach supporting other people.

Personal and Professional Coach Training

One of the things that makes our CLCC program different is that we don’t just train you in becoming a coach—we also give you training on a personal level. We want you to also be learning and growing, gaining more confidence and working through self-doubt, so that you are best poised to support your clients.
