The Standard Basic Course will meet once each week for 1 hour for a total of 24 weeks, and the Accelerated Basic Course will meet twice a week for 1 hour each session for a total of 12 weeks. After you register you'll be able to select whether you would like to be in the Standard or Accelerated Course along with your preferred session time for the interactive and practice/supervised portion of the course.

Class times have not yet been set for the Spring Term. We will post the times as soon as they become available.

* Please note that these times are dependent on student registration counts and are subject to change based on enrollment.

** If you miss a class you are able to make it up at your convenience during other class times available (there are several other class meet up times currently full, but that can be used for "make-up" classes to accommodate changes in schedule).

This is highly interactive, providing the opportunity to not only learn the foundational skills of coaching through an approved course with ICF (for those interested in acquiring a coach credential) but also to practice your coaching skills in a safe environment, under ICF guidelines. This ensures you are practicing the right skills meeting the industry's highest standards for effective coaching practice.

Those who complete the course will have the option of being placed on our Client-Attraction platform to begin building your clientele and practice 'paid' coaching hours (where you earn for hours you coach), further advancing your skill set under our guided direction and support.

 


Registration ends Sun., June 3rd

These are highly interactive classes so you can develop your "coach communication" skills quickly & effectively. You will be practicing what is learned under the supervision of an instructor & in a small online class setting. With class sizes kept small, we encourage you to register today to ensure enrollment in this unique accelerated skill advancement course.

    left Quotes Communication skills are good to have but coaching skills are GREAT to have. I didn't realize how great until I started picking up the phone to call new leads and it wasn't the least bit heavy!

    In nursing, communication skills are keen to have in order to ask the right questions during an assessment or in order to motivate a multi-discipline healthcare group to become a team. I loved all of that.

    But even at the masters level, none of my classes gave me the confidence I needed, and now have (!) in order to confidently contact strangers - knowing that I can help them take their business to the next level.
