How to Become a Life Coach

how to become a life coachHow to Become a Life Coach – Our Training Approach
Training students how to become a Life Coach is our focus at Christian Coach Institute. We use adult learning techniques to teach internationally-recognized coaching skills while using the Christian Coaching Model. Our coach training typically occurs in small groups over the telephone in a webinar-type classroom environment from a student’s home or other convenient location. Our Life Coach students interact with one another in an online ‘classroom,’ are assigned a buddy student for many assignments, and receive one-on-one coaching from one of our coaches on staff so they can experience a coach-client relationship. As a fully licensed IAC Coaching Masteries School, our comprehensive life coaching program prepares our students in coaching excellence through the application of the nine coaching masteries, which are in alignment with the ICF core coaching competencies.

How to Become a Life Coach – The Christian Coaching Model
We train our students how to become a Life Coach by using the Christian Coaching Model as described in the book, Christian Coaching, by Gary Collins. The focus of the model is on the teachings of Jesus Christ, as we are a Christian-based organization.  We believe that Jesus is the ultimate mentor and that is reflected in our training programs.
