How soon can I begin accessing materials?
Almost as soon as you make a payment you can begin downloading and accessing materials.
Where will my certifications be valid?
Upon graduation, your certifications, diploma and license (materials license for students training others as coaches) will be valid in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, France and Spain.
Is there a difference in what I will learn through the live tele-class version vs the home study?
Yes. The live instructor version often contains information not included in the notes. That being said, all pertinent information about coaching, accrediting, certifications, business and marketing is included in both versions. You will learn 25% more information through the live tele-class version.
The home study version is satisfaction guaranteed, which means if you are not satisfied we will work with you until you are, where as the live tele-class version is 100% money back guaranteed.
As a student, when I have questions who do I contact?
Every student is assigned a mentor coach who is there before and after you graduate to answer any questions you have about coaching or your training.
Will I be a certified coach after?
After successful completion of all the Become a Coach programs you will be a certified coach. At the end of the Open Your Own Academy program you will be a certified coach trainer and have accredited training materials for use when training and certifying others.
Do I have to apply for ICF accrediting?
Absolutely not. Either way at the end of your programs you will be certified and internationally accredited, but you will also have the option of applying for ICF accrediting.
I am a busy professional is this program good for me?

Do I get to meet and interact with other coaches?

Keep in mind that just as you would with any college or training school you are required to pay your tuition, but we do have a 100% money back guarantee for all the live tele-class programs we offer.
Will I be paired with another student to practice my coaching skills?
In all program except the self study program you are paired with another coach to practice your skills and gain hours for your ICF application(should you decide to apply.)
