"Coach Training EDU provided me with the strong foundation and connections necessary to start my own coaching practice! Having gone through the full course sequence offered by CTEDU (1.0 Academic Coach Training, Group Mentoring, and 2.0 Advanced Coach Training), I can attest to the profound impact it made on my life - not just professionally but personally, as well. The trainers, support team, and founders all truly care about seeing you flourish, and I know I would not be where I am today without my time spent at Coach Training EDU!

The Online Coach Training Experience

Coach Training EDU’s online training format is designed to provide you with a one-of-a-kind learning experience that combines individual study with weekly class meetings and practice.

Individual Study & Class Preparation

Coach Training EDU™ offers highly interactive and engaging coach training that allows you to participate from anywhere in the world. You will have the opportunity to train with other coaches and make lasting connections with your colleagues.

Our online training programs function as a flipped classroom style, where you will listen to pre-recorded skill demonstrations and read from your corresponding training guide before class each week. By reading through and listening to course content ahead of time, there is more time during your weekly class meeting for discussion and practice.

You will also receive a hard copy of the corresponding training guide for your training program, as well as access to an online class page with all other training materials (i.e., recorded lectures, business-building materials, pdfs of all books, etc.).

Weekly Meetings

All of Coach Training EDU’s training programs are conducted live, in english, at preset times, with a trained and certified ICF coach and trainer. You will meet once a week at a designated class time (via a video platform called Zoom). Time in class will provide you with a thorough understanding of the life coaching concepts and time to practice those skills with your peers.

You can join the live coach training course from a computer, tablet, or mobile phone. The Zoom platform is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android operating systems. After you install the plugin, you will be able to join a webinar. You will need a solid internet connection. For ease and convenience, you also have the option to call into the webinar using your phone. Need to miss a live session? No problem. We record each coaching session so you can catch up before the following week's live training.

I surrendered to a lot of things I think in the process that allowed me to grow and take so many steps forward that I would have maybe been hesitant to prior to this, so it really provided me with that environment that I could do that.
