Education Search Service (ESS)

The ESS is a free, searchable directory of coaching education that is accredited by ICF. ICF-accredited education has gone through a rigorous review process and demonstrated that its curriculum aligns with the ICF definition of coaching, Core Competencies and Code of Ethics. Level One, Level Two, and Level Three offerings deliver foundational coach-specific education and training. Continuing Coach Education (CCE) offerings provide advanced and supplemental learning opportunities for trained and credentialed coach practitioners.

As the accrediting body for coach-specific education and accredited providers, we cannot recommend any specific coaching education organizations.

To find ICF-Accredited Providers that meet your individual needs, we suggest that you use our Education Search Service (ESS) below. The search for a coach education program is a highly individual process that depends greatly on your personal preferences and goals. The ESS is designed to give you basic information about all ICF-Accredited Education Providers.

Organization Description:
An ACTP since 2002, The Institute for Life Coach Training specializes in training counselors, therapists, social workers, pastors, educators and others who want to work with others to create more fulfilling lives. Our philosophy of life coaching is a whole person, non-directive, client-centered approach that focuses on client development, growth, and fulfillment. We are committed to providing a quality coach training program and in turn, quality coaches who are making a significant difference in the world. 

Coaching holds that each of us are capable, creative individuals, an expert in our lives. This same philosophy underlies all that ILCT does – from the individual personal attention you receive from our administration and faculty, to having one of the widest selections of ICF approved electives so you can customize some of your training to truly reflect what you will offer your clients, to offering a variety of certifications and credentials that you can pursue. ILCT is one of a handful of training programs that is an ACTP and is approved to train for the Board Certified Coach, for those with graduate degrees. 

Our students are part of an active online coaches community, a place to share resources, interact with current and past students, and receive support through your journey to become a professional coach. Additionally, students are able to attend free teleconference calls, held each month, on topics such as ethics, marketing, website design, credentialing, etc. and will have access to a personalized, electronic library with materials from your classes to support your learning and growth.
Most of our Faculty hold either masters and/or doctorate degrees in the social and behavioral sciences, have active coaching practices, are PCC's, BCC's or MCCs and are recognized leaders and experts in the coaching profession. Many have served or are serving on the ICF Board of Directors as well as ICF committees.
