Certification Detailed

After completing the Academic Life Coaching, Wellness Life Coaching, or Executive Life Coaching 1.0 Training Program, you can apply for CTEDU coach certification. Acquiring certification from an accredited organization tells your future clients that you’re a professional in the field and have acquired a valuable skill set.

The path of certification is designed to ensure that you become an outstanding coach. Certified coaches are more skilled, confident, and ultimately more successful in establishing their coaching careers. Below, you’ll find the steps you need to take to receive CTEDU certification and a credential from the ICF. 

The ICF credentialing process varies depending on which level of training and ICF credentialing path you pursue. There are three levels of training: Associate (ACC), Professional (PCC), and Master Coach Certification (MCC).
