How to combine them

Common pathways through the three programs

Foundations → Advanced

Train the craft, then deepen it with supervised practice on harder client work.

Foundations Certification
Advanced Coaching Practicum

Foundations → Practice Launch

Train the craft, then build the business around it with a 90-day acquisition plan.

The full pathway

For people building coaching into a second career: craft, depth and business in one sequence.

Advanced Coaching Practicum
Coach Practice Launch

Small cohorts, always

Twelve participants maximum in Foundations, eight in the Practicum. Practice time is the product; large groups make it impossible.

Practice from week one

You will coach a real person in your first fortnight, not in month three. Feedback comes from a facilitator, not just from peers.

Assessment you can see

Every recorded session is reviewed against a published rubric, so you know exactly what “good” looks like and where you stand.

Honest about the business

Where the money comes from, what it costs, how long it takes. Includes the parts most programs leave out.

Before you apply

Questions about training, credentials and payment

Becoming a career coach

Training format, prerequisites and what happens after you qualify.

Do I need a coaching qualification to join the Foundations program?

No. Foundations assumes no prior coaching training. Advanced Coaching Practicum and Practice Launch do assume a foundation level of training or equivalent experience, which we review on your call.

How long does it take to become a career coach?

Realistically, three to twelve months to be properly trained with supervised practice, and six to eighteen months to build a practice with paying clients. Anyone selling a weekend certification as a complete path is overselling.

Is the certification recognized by a professional body?

Our programs certify completion of our own structured training, including documented supervised practice hours. They are not accredited by an external professional body. We will tell you plainly which external credentials are worth having for your specific goals, what they require and what they cost — including when the answer is “not yet”.

Can my employer pay for the training?

Yes. We invoice organizations directly, accept purchase orders, and provide a completion report for the sponsor. There is a private-cohort option for teams of four or more.

What if I complete the training and decide coaching is not for me?

That is a legitimate outcome and not a failure. We build an honest business session into every pathway, and several participants discover that internal coaching within their existing role is the better fit. Either result is a good use of the training.
