Education Search Service (ESS)

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) does not offer initial education and training to become a coach (we only offer professional development for practiced coaches). As the accrediting body for coach-specific education and accredited providers, we cannot recommend any specific coaching education organizations.

To ensure quality education, ICF accredits coaching education organizations that meet the high standards set forth by ICF and ICF Coaching Education. To find ICF-Accredited Providers 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.

For further information, please contact this training organization rather than the ICF office. The ICF recommends all approved programs equally and cannot recommend one program over another.

Program Description:
At the Certified Life Coach Institute (CLCI), we provide an immersive, intensive, virtual training tailored to jump-start your coaching career. Our intimate class sizes ensure personalized feedback and comprehensive support.
Our curriculum is composed of two primary virtual courses, each spanning three days. The 33-hour Coaching 101 serves as a foundational certification course, while Coaching 102 is a 37-hour master certification course. Together, they provide in-depth, practical coach training for a total of 70 hours.
Class sessions are dynamic and interactive, integrating live lectures, coaching demonstrations, and hands-on peer-to-peer coaching. We provide tools and techniques that can be immediately applied in class, promoting experiential learning and growth. Classes are supported with homework assignments to reinforce student understanding, and our provided eBook serves as a comprehensive reference beyond the training period.
Our training program embraces various coaching niches and specialties, presenting techniques applicable across relationship, life transition, executive, career, health, wellness, and organizational coaching. In addition to all of this, we ensure our students are well versed in business strategy and marketing knowledge so they are better able to create their businesses and find clients in their niche.
CLCI’s Level 1 Certification offering requires that students attend both Coaching 101 and Coaching 102, completion of 10 hours of mentor coaching, 100 logged coaching practice hours, and submission of a passing performance evaluation. When all requirements are met, coaches are issued certification and may apply for an ICF ACC Credential at which point ICF will proctor an exam and once passed, students will be awarded their credential and have completed their Level 1 journey.
