Steps to Become a Certified Coach

Here are the steps to become a certified coach through the College of Executive Coaching:

Option 1: Participate in an Online Intensive followed by a series of virtual courses. Your intensive training is conducted in six days — this way you complete 44 hours in just one week, so it is efficient — and all the remaining courses are completed via convenient live virtual courses and a few streaming video classes.

Option 2: Attend all your courses — 100% distance learning — without the intensive component. You save $1,600 by registering for the complete ICF-Accredited Certification Program at one time. Learn from the convenience of your home or office. Instead of the six-day Intensive Program, you will attend a special small group course called Coaching Essentials, which is only for option two 100% Distance Learning students.

“I researched all the available coach training programs in North America and found that CEC had the most credible, qualified and accomplished faculty. During the course, the quality of the training surpassed my already high expectations. The stringent entrance requirements resulted in a highly professional and exceptional group of participants that made the learning environment fun & rewarding.”
