Learn About Becoming a Certified Life Coach

If you’re interested in becoming a coach, you may have questions about whether or not you need to be certified as a life coach in order to find success in the industry.

Currently, the coaching industry does not require that you become a certified life coach in order to work with clients, the way that a therapist has to have a license in order to practice. However, even if you ultimately decide not to become a certified life coach, that doesn’t mean that you should skip out on training.

Coach Training and Coach Certification

Coach certification is the certificate or credential you receive as a graduate. Coach training is different. You definitely need coach training, not only to ensure you have a strong coaching foundation but also to provide reassurance for your clients that you have the self-awareness and character to invest in your skill set for their benefit (also, if a client asks you if you have training and you have to say no, that’s…embarrassing).

Our program offers a coach training certification based on the ICF Core Competencies and our graduates have used our certification to receive their ACC and PCC credentials from the ICF (International Coaching Federation).

You receive a CLCC certification upon completion of all graduation requirements (and we don’t charge you extra for a certificate).

Coach Certification and Training Online

While our coach training program is held virtually, you’re connecting with an incredible community. And, we want that training to be engaging. You’re not just learning about the coaching skill-set through a series of worksheets and videos—you’re learning from real life coaches with real industry experience in live sessions where you can actively practice coaching.

What Does It Mean to Be a Certified Coach?

You can become a certified life coach through our Credentialed Life Coach Collective program, by which we mean become certified in the methodology of our life coach training program. You learn different coaching techniques, while developing your own unique coaching style.

As part of our graduation requirements we review a final graduation portfolio from all of our trainees that also helps prepare you for your ACC credential from the International Coaching Federation. Our certified life coach graduates accrue one-on-one coaching hours to get practice coaching real clients on real scenarios. We have an exit call with every graduate to review their coaching progress during the time in our program.

Many of our graduates start taking on paying clients even before they have finalized their certification. You do not have to be a fully certified life coach to take on paying clients. Unlike some other programs, we do not require any extra fees for your graduate certificate.
