Please note: You’ll have two digital courses that you’ll be able to start upon enrollment. In addition, you can attend our Discover You: Get Niched program and our Whole Person Coaching Foundations either via self-study or online via Zoom.

From here you’ll have four 3-day intensives (IMPACT, IGNITE, INTEGRATE & INNOVATE)… These courses can be attended online via Zoom or in-person where indicated. If you need to miss a portion of a training, we do record them.

Lastly, your ICF mentor coaching sessions and additional practicum assignments can be scheduled at your convenience.

We are based in Pacific Time.

Yes, our Whole Person Certified Coach (WPCC) programs are fully accredited as an ACTP (Level II) program with the International Coach Federation (ICF).

We teach all of our courses and offer mentoring in English.  Many of our students are not native English speakers though!

At Coach Training World, we believe in you getting exactly what you need!  If you are interested in pursuing the ICF’s starter “ICF Associate Coach” credential, head over to our CORE program page where you can select the ICF Associate Certification option.  This will give you everything you need to apply for your ICF Associate credential. Plus if in the future you want to pursue your PCC… You can continue our training pathway from there!

No. Our coach training program is all-inclusive with the exception of any membership or final exam fees that the International Coach Federation requires. These fees may range from $100 to $500 based on the pathway you choose to apply with at the ICF website, and whether or not you are an ICF member. Upon enrollment of our coach training program, you can become an ICF member.

That all depends on you! On average, our students report that they spend 3 to 10 hours a week on the program. Unlike a university or community college, most of this time is spent at your convenience. Whenever you can fit the training into your schedule, it’s there waiting for you. Please note that you have up to 2 years to complete your coursework.

From time to time, we all have unavoidable scheduling conflicts or find ourselves a little under the weather. Unlike a college course, all of our sessions are recorded, enabling you to take part live or at a time that’s more convenient for you. Audio files of our calls are uploaded to the web and available for on-demand streaming. This ensures that you’ll never miss out or fall behind. Please note: if you are applying for your ICF credential and know that you are going to miss more than a couple hours of training, Contact Us for your options.

Some of us prefer to attend trainings in-person. But there are many factors that can make it a challenge to do so: travel expenses, time away from home, scheduling difficulties, and the myriad of preferred learning styles and speeds. That’s why our global student population loves the online coach training courses offered here at Coach Training World! In a recent poll conducted through our private Facebook group, we discovered that students found “no difference” in their learning capacity between training live online and in-person. This was especially true when considering the interactive design of our Intensives and our attention to support. These findings can’t diminish how much we love having you visit us here at our facility in Portland, Oregon. But the web-based coach training program opens our curriculum to a diverse mix of students around the globe – deepening the learning for all of us. That’s why so many new and seasoned coaches are gravitating toward the online platform. If you’re participating for the first time, you still might be wondering about the actual experience. Here’s what you can expect… The virtual experience So what’s it like to train online for three days? As any of our graduates will tell you: it’s convenient, comfortable and immersive. Our Virtual Intensives are highly interactive. Expect a comprehensive mix of education on all the essentials and coaching competencies. These are combined with active participation in demos, group discussions and practice sessions. You’ll also have unlimited access to the vast coaching resources and manuals we’ve amassed in the past two decades in our student center. And we’ll be there to mentor you every step of the way. If you have questions or need any additional support, we’re ready to help. Feel free to chime in at any point if you need further examples or explanation on any of the concepts we present. By the way: that doesn’t apply to just questions – if something strikes a chord with you, let us all know. Our differences make us great! You may share an example that snaps a concept into focus for someone else. Don’t be shy: your contribution makes our Online Intensives unique to you! Technical aspects We use Zoom, a web-based platform that provides conferencing and messaging on any device. One of things we like most about the platform is that it gives you the option to view all the participants at once or focus solely on the speaker. During breakout sessions, you’ll move to a private chatroom with 1 to 4 other people, depending on the exercises. Here you can enjoy the privacy to practice, deepen your understanding of the material, and apply it to your chosen application. Many coaches have discovered new opportunities based on the conversations and ideas that spring from these fun, creative gatherings. Plus, you’re only a click away from calling your instructor’s attention should you need help or additional clarification on something. We are always there for you! The Zoom conference setup allows you to attend on multiple devices, syncing between your smartphone, tablet and home or office computer. We recommend participating on the largest screen possible. This enables you to see the other participants and allows them to see you. For this reason, we do ask that you participate on a device that has an active web-cam.

You might see websites that claim X% of their students make “X” amount of money. The truth is: success is defined by the individual. Those who are devoted and willing to do the work necessary to launch their business will prosper. Those who are already entrepreneurs are further down the road – they’ve learned some skills – and so can you. With your devotion and the right support, it’s 100% possible, and that’s where we’d like to help you.  If you are serious about starting your own business, you’ll love our CoachPreneur Academy. We can’t guarantee your success. But we can promise to give you what you need to pursue success, as you define it, in the most efficient, strategic and cost-effective way possible. With hard work and creativity, you’ll be amazed how far you can go. For examples of our past graduates, please view our success stories distributed through out our website.

Why Yes! Please do.  Here is a link to a few of our testimonials!

Please contact us if you’d like to speak with a graduate or two. Unlike many schools we don’t pay our graduates to promote us. You’ll get real truth about their experience.

Past graduate Amy – shared with us recently, “Signing up took a pretty good measure of trust in the universe that I’d be able to do this. And of course, I did and it’s paid off.“ While graduate Melanie offered this wisdom, “I pondered it for a long time and finally got up the nerve to put the investment down for it. I’d  been thinking about getting a Masters in Organizational Development (about $60,000!) or I could take Feroshia’s program – for MUCH less – and still fulfill my passion to help.” While certainly training to become a professional credentialed coach is an investment, in our opinion one well-worth making if you are ready to change your career, life and maybe even start a business.  There has never been a better time to step into the coaching profession. Long gone are the days where a coach is thought of as a sports coach. People, businesses and large corporations are using coaching to improve their lives and become highly effective. In fact, many of our students have shared that the training alone was worth every penny if if they never became a coach.  Coach training is about leveling up all areas of your life. What is that worth to you?

Why yes!  There are a number of financial institutions that are here to help you with your career change. In additional you can always go through companies like PayPal.com to create a payment plan with them similar to a credit card loan.

We are able to process payment as follows:

• Credit Card:  Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, and Discover
• Check: Personal or Business Checks
• Money Orders
• PayPal & PayPal Credit
• International Wire Transfer
• Venmo

Other than split-pay, we do not offer any additional financing options, such as financial aid or scholarships, at this time. If you need a special payment plan we invite you to speak with our business manager.

Because of the deep value we’re committed to providing, we keep our school small. This enables us to provide the highest level of professional coach training and business mentoring possible. In this program, you won’t be swimming in a sea of thousands but rather engaging and learning alongside a select group of others who are deeply devoted to developing a highly successful business of their own. Also, we have discovered that when someone invests in their development, they are positioning themselves for success. This is one of the lessons you’ll learn to do strategically and effectively in this program. In turn, you’ll be using this same philosophy to ask your clients to invest in your services and programs. It’s worth noting that many people earn back their tuition within the first year. Some even earn 10 times their tuition (or more). The results are different for each attendee. And those who are committed to do what it takes, do succeed.

You may have gotten wind that Feroshia has trained some exceptional ICF Credentialed PCC Coaches from our community to step forward and take over at the head of the classroom. It’s true!

These coach trainers are every bit as knowledgeable, seasoned, supportive and committed to the success of future coaches as Feroshia. Well, almost…

If you are interested in training with Feroshia, we encourage you to email us to find out what courses she is teaching. (She really loves the classroom and also needs to finish another book!)

Coach training skills are needed everywhere. While it may seem like 1000’s seek coach training to leap out of their day jobs – just as many recognize these skills help them become more effective leaders, developers and better communicators and that often leads to promotions and professional acceleration.

Coaching amplifies your capacity to work effectively with others. And some of our graduates stay in the career they have while taking some private clients on the side – additional income!

Plus in recent times, we’ve had a number of coaching firms open. Which means you can work for them as a subcontractor while you build your business. 

You’re not alone – that’s a common concern. And that’s why we’ve added our business course as a bonus into your program INFUSE: Live Your Brilliance.  This program ensures that you are creating the right business model and marketing strategy to build a successful business that you love.

No! While it’s very common that through the training process you discover hidden talents and passions that often lead you to an unexpected dream-come-true client base, we’ve bonused in our Discover You: Get Niched coaching program. During this event you’ll explore various niche opportunities, and then create your self-defined niche. A niche that allows you to infuse your experience, expertise and personality into a way of helping those who need you the most!  

Plus your Bonus “INFUSE: Live Your Brilliance” program takes Discover You a step further. This business program is geared toward helping you achieve the clarity around your offer, your audience and how to market yourself authentically and effectively. Inside this course, we’ll explore:
