“The training I had at Coach Training EDU was absolutely essential. Coaching is how I define meaning and purpose for myself. It is the why of my life. In other words, why I get up in the morning and why I jump out of bed and can't wait because I know the things I am engaging in is to help someone be better.”

Trusted by Professionals From:
Who This Program Is Designed For
Senior-level managers, C-Suite leaders, and any high performer who knows how to get things done and lead people well.
Leaders Ready to Level Up
You know how to lead. You can have the hard conversations, give feedback, and get things done. Yet what really lights your fire is the people. One-on-one conversations, mentoring, coaching, and helping people be a better version of themselves. Now you can learn the skills to take those conversations to the next level.
Burned-Out Executives Ready for More
You’ve been in this field a long time, and you’re good at it. But you can tell the difference between tired and done, and you crossed that line a long time ago. Instead of powering through, coaching gives you a path to meaningful work that inspires and rejuvenates you.
Professionals Ready to Pivot
You have walked the walk. You can talk the talk. Now you’re ready to do something for you. Whether it’s a mid-career pivot, setting yourself up for early or semi-retirement, or infusing some new life into your career, it’s time to start charting a new path. Executive coach training just might be that path forward.

Certifications
Executive Coach Training: Your Certifications
Your training equips you with five coaching certifications while preparing you for the ICF and BCC pathways.
What You Walk Away With
Credentials that make you competitive
Executive coaching is a crowded field. Our package helps you stand out with three certificate designations (Team, Career, Executive) and prepares you for the gold-standard ICF and BCC credentialing pathways.
Skills to coach executives and teams
Coaching executives and teams takes a different skillset than leading or mentoring. The program covers everything from setting up a corporate contract to the direct communication a high-powered individual or team needs.
Personal development and growth
Alongside the models and frameworks, the program develops you as a person and as a leader. You gain the self-awareness, confidence, and wisdom to launch a successful coaching career and coach at a high level.
Tools to build your coaching business
Strong coaching skills are one half of a successful practice. Our business course covers the other half, with everything needed to get your executive coaching business off the ground and start landing clients.
Models and frameworks for any client
You’ll learn a wide range of models so you can choose the approach that fits each client in front of you. That includes tools for burnout, career pivots, future planning, internal reflection and growth, and more.
Support that continues after graduation
Graduates receive lifetime membership, free continuing education, and unlimited access to community events. That ongoing support continues long after the program ends, as your executive coaching career grows.

Graduate Stories
What Our Graduates Are Saying
“(Coaching) has completely changed the trajectory of my career. Within three months of starting a coaching program through Coach Training EDU, I was able to start coaching within my corporate job. And I started my own business, and I am growing that beyond anything that I would have ever guessed going into this.”
“Since I've discovered professional coaching nine years ago it's totally changed my life because, well, I've made a career out of it, a business out of it, I've helped hundreds of clients... It's really impacted me because it's gotten me to slow down, and really get clear on who I want to be and the type of people I want to impact.”
