Certification programs

Two levels of coaching mastery

Fully online, ICF-accredited executive coach training for senior leaders. Both programs begin with the same 12 weeks.

Leaders have come to us from

  • Special Olympics

Start from the coaching you plan to do

If your clients will be individual leaders, begin with the Professional. If your work already involves teams, sponsors or organizational systems, enroll in the Advanced from the start.

A rule of 24 weeks. Weeks 1 to 12 are the same for both programs, and the Professional Certificate is complete at week 12. The Advanced Certificate continues through weeks 13 to 24 and is complete at week 24. Week 6 is the last week to switch between them freely.

Weeks 1–12Both programs

You’ll be able to

  • Help a leader make a decision without telling them what to do
  • Find out why the same problem keeps coming back
  • Know how you react when you're under pressure
  • Set your price and strategic contracts for corporate and private clients
