What is Life Coaching?

• As defined by the International Coach Federation (ICF), Life Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential. In this relationship, the client is honored as the expert of their life and work and it is believed that every client is creative, resourceful and whole. The role of a life coach is to provide support to enhance the resources, skills and creativity that the client already has within themselves.

What is the International Coach Federation (ICF)?

• The ICF is the leading global organization committed to advancing the coaching profession through establishing a high standard of practice, providing independent certification, and building an international network of trained coaching professionals. The ICF provides accountability to both clients and the coaching profession as a whole. Individual coaches and coach training programs that pursue ICF accreditation demonstrate mastery in coaching, in both knowledge and skills and an ongoing commitment to professional excellency. Coach Training EDU offers approved and accredited coach training hours through the ICF.

What is the value of becoming a certified Life Coach?

• Receiving a life coach credential (ACC, PCC, or MCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) reveals not only your credibility as a life coach, but also your investment in the theoretical and practical components of professional coaching. Further, certification serves as an effective marketing tool to establish your coaching practice or serve as an asset in advancing your career within an organization.

Is it possible to make a living as a coach?

• Absolutely! Life Coaching is a $2 billion dollar industry that continues to grow internationally and more than 70% of CTEDU alumni are earning coaching-related income.

What makes CTEDU different from other coach training programs?

• We are at the highest level of accreditation that the ICF offers training organizations and we’re currently in the process of becoming accredited through the U.S. Department of Education.
• CTEDU believes in a completely online, remote learning model that allows greater accessibility and affordability of our programs. Our program was established as a virtual program from the beginning.
• Utilizes a flipped classroom model as an instructional strategy and blend andragogy (focuses more on process than content), experiential (learning through experience), and transformational learning approaches to maximize individual growth and development throughout each course.
• We provide business building materials that give you the knowledge to create your own profitable coaching practice and do your life’s work.
• Support and resources available throughout your training, into launching your coaching career, and beyond.

Will I be a good coach?

• The foundation of coaching is leveraging extreme curiosity combined with deep listening and powerful questions to shine a light on aspects of our clients they may not see in themselves. These are the foundational skills that we cover at the very beginning of our program, so you are set up to be an exceptional coach.

Which specialization is right for me?

• Deciding to become a life coach is the first step of your journey. It is a time to explore, challenge, and learn about yourself as you do your life’s work. Even though we provide three different life coach training specializations (Executive, Wellness, and Academic), our curriculum is designed to prepare you to work with a diverse client population, regardless of the specialization. Having a conversation with an Enrollment Coach might be helpful in choosing a specialization with CTEDU.

Which package is right for me?

• We offer three different packages: 
  • The associate package is ideal for coaches who are new to the field and want to develop a foundational skillset. If you are a coach or professional interested in starting your own coaching practice, this is a great place to start!
  • The professional package is ideal for coaches who have some experience and are interested in advancing their skillset. 
  • The master package is ideal for coaches with years of extensive coaching experience and are in need of the highest level of training and support. 
• Regardless of your choice, each package offers a global network, research-based curriculum, and a clear path toward an ICF credential.
