Our self-paced program is ideal for coaches and other professionals who seek training or professional development, but need to take courses at their own pace and on their own schedule. It is a unique route to providing coaches and other professionals with the certification, live mentor coaching, tools, and skills they need to develop a solid coaching business.

This program is offered year-round at the students’ pace. Students register for the full program or for one course at a time. This program could be completed in 3 or 6 months if completed consecutively. There are no weekend or in-person meetings for this option. All courses are offered online in the sequence and timing of the students’ choice.

• Modules 1-3 are for students enrolling in the 60-hour self-paced program.
• Modules 1-6 are for students enrolling in the 125-hour self-paced program.
• Program includes live mentor coaching.

Note: Because the self-paced program does not include live teaching, it is a certification-only program and not a credentialing track program. It follows the same curriculum used in our credentialing track training programs and does include live mentor coaching from our highly qualified team of faculty. For trainees seeking eventual credentials from the International Coach Federation (ICF), the mentor coaching and 18 hours of this program are acceptable for transfer into our live online or Weekend Intensive credentialing track programs.
