Experience a comprehensive and enlightening training course that breaks down the methodology, time - proven principles, and effective practice of life coaching.

Training Course Description

Though there are many coaching models, this training will emphasise the life coach’s role as a facilitator of learning instead of an ‘expert of life’. There is a big difference between teaching people and assisting people in their process of learning and growth.

All our training materials are produced in HD video, accompanied by an MP3 version of the course and PDF resources to complement your life coaching studies with us. The course is available on-demand and offers a cohesive framework to contextualise your studies and establish a strong foundation for developing life coaching competency.

Find confidence in knowing that the main purpose of this course is to prepare you for coaching other people. You will learn how to assess a person’s immediate situation and select the best coaching approach to help them achieve their personal goals. The coaching methodology presented in this training will equip you with the knowledge, framework and coaching skills that you can employ in a future career as a life coach.

Section 1:
The Foundational Principles of Life Coaching

This comprehensive training is designed to help you gain an understanding of life coaching and how it can be used to support clients in achieving their personal, professional, and spiritual goals. In this first module, we will explore the core concepts of life coaching and what you can expect to learn throughout this training. 

Section 2:
Awareness and the Pre-requisites of Growth

In this section, we explore the concept of awareness - how it is developed and what it looks like in action. We discuss how coaching should seek to build this foundation as a pre-requisite for growth, and provide tools to support this process. You will also be taken through exercises to deepen your awareness in the context of your own life. 

Section 3:
According to the Pattern of Human Behaviour

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful while others struggle their way through life? In this section, we dive deep into exploring human behaviour and discuss how certain patterns of behaviours play out differently from one individual to another. We explore how a coach can help foster positive changes in attitude towards life in general. 

Section 4:
Coaching Breakthrough Sessions (Demo's)

Breakthrough coaching is a process of helping individuals make effective changes in their lives. It requires the coach to be well-equipped with knowledge on how to create a vision, confront resistance and empower clients to take ownership of their lives. In this section we cover all aspects of delivering a powerful coaching breakthrough session. 

 

Section 5:
The Values and Motivations for Decision Making

In this section, we delve into the important role that values and motivations play in decision-making. As a life coach, it is crucial to understand how these factors influence our clients' choices and actions. We will explore techniques for uncovering values and motivations, as well as how to use them to support clients in making aligned decisions. 

Section 6:
Communication Skills and People Principles

In this section, we'll introduce the Communication Skills and People Principles that will enable you to coach people effectively. We'll discuss the importance of having strong interpersonal skills and how they facilitate successful coaching. We'll also explain why you must understand your coachee's point-of-view if you are to be an effective coach. 

Section 7:
Goal Setting for Action Taking & Results

This section will help you learn how to create a pathway for your clients to achieve their desired goal. We'll discuss how to set SMART goals, the process of developing action plans, and tips for helping coachees stay motivated when achieving results. Kain will also share stories from his experience in delivering accountability as a life and business coach.

"The main reason why many people achieve so little in life comes down to the fact that hard work is unpopular. The truth is that all good things in life come about through accurate goals setting and careful planning. And this is the primary purpose of life coaching."

- Kain Ramsay, Author, The Ultimate Life Coaching Handbook

Principles of Coaching:
I started the course having no knowledge about how to start a coaching business, and now I’m walking away with everything I need to get started. The instructor does an awesome job at explaining concepts, the content is thorough, informative and it just makes sense.

This was a thorough Life Coaching course - exactly what I was hoping for. I've taken dozens of other Life Coaching courses and this goes far above and beyond what others offer. If you're serious about coaching as a career, I highly recommend this course.

- Eleanor McLaughlin
Logical and Common Sense:
I’ve learned a ton and I’m only 35% through the course. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone looking to get into a life coaching career. Or anyone in general who wants to learn more about themselves and better be able to help the people in their environment.
321082436_991254342160123_2608462186453897033_n
- Nicholas McLean
Pivotal for Personal Growth:
This course was insightful and easy to follow. Some sections were more interesting than others, but I think that’s mainly because there are things included in the course that I’ve already had introductions to during my own journey of self growth and development.
321082436_991254342160123_2608462186453897033_n
- Kinsley Roberts
Should be Taught in Schools:
This has been a wonderful mirror to my self-awareness. I am not convinced I'd like to go on and coach others, but I am certainly grateful for the insight into myself, plus the clarity it has brought to my own growth. This can only result in a better 'me' as a human being.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Honest answers to some of our most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The global pandemic of 2020/21 has revolutionised the way organizations provide digital life coaching learning experiences. To expand their knowledge and drive their personal growth, many people now study the principles and practices of life coaching from the comfort of their own homes. As online education continues to expand, it can be difficult for online learners to know which courses are trustworthy and suited to their learning needs. 

So, here are some questions to consider before choosing a life coaching course; 

  1. What is the course duration? Is it self-directed or attendance-based? 
  2. Do I have the time & mental capacity to study life coaching at this time? 
  3. Are there any preview videos I can watch before enrolling on the course? 
  4. Does the curriculum include all of the life coaching information I require? 
  5. Does the course focus only on life coaching theory or skill development? 
  6. Is the course accredited? If so, for what purpose do I need accreditation? 
  7. What level of skill must I achieve? What are my professional goals or aims? 
  8. How much does the life coaching course cost? Are there additional fees? 
  9. Is there social proof? How many other students have finished studying it? 

If you’re looking to increase your career prospects, elearning is a great solution for this. With its flexible nature, elearning allows you to study life coaching certification training online without having it interfere with your routine or schedule. So, before you enrol on any life coaching program, ask yourself these questions before committing. Reputable training providers usually make past student review videos available on their website and will partner with an objective third-party review system such as TrustPilot or Yotpo. 

When searching for an online life coaching certification training course, the multitude of options available can leave individuals feeling bewildered about which one to choose. Where does one begin the search? What are the distinctions between various types of life coaching training? Many online training providers assert themselves as a ‘leading authority’ in life coaching today, but who can truly be relied upon? 

What questions should be posed prior to purchasing a course? Which accrediting bodies validate life coach training, and who are they? In addition to this online life coaching certification training course, the following e-learning courses centered around life coaching have also garnered popularity among learners:

Psychology is a broad field; a qualification in the subject can increase professional opportunities and enhance personal development. Choosing to study any subject, especially one you may not have previous knowledge of, can feel a little overwhelming. 

Many subjects have a history of theoretical concepts at their core, and life coaching is no different. However, understanding life coaching theory is just the first aspect of your learning. To be an effective practitioner of life coaching, you will need to evaluate and analyse those existing ideas. By looking critically at the concepts presented throughout this training course, you will be better equipped to think divergently and solve problems with ‘outside the box’ thinking. Then you can begin to flourish in the field of life coaching. 

Our community membership portal creates a welcoming peer-learning environment for a global community of online learners, from doctors to politicians, parents to programmers, public servants to marketers, and entrepreneurs to life coaches. Achology brings people together for personal growth and professional development via our unparalleled range of modern applied psychology-based and personal development elearning resources. 

While some life coaching training providers may make bold claims of authority and superiority, these are often just manipulative sales tactics used by companies to convince people to purchase their e-learning products. There is no centralised authority that can definitively determine what it takes to live a productive and effective life. Ultimately, it is your personal preferences that will determine the value you derive from an online training course. What one person may find life-transforming, another may find offensive. 

At Achology, we refrain from making arrogant claims about being the best life coach training provider. Instead, we are committed to offering an educational experience that is authentic and rooted in practical life wisdom. Our life coaching certification course is free from gimmicks or exaggerated promises. Instead, you will gain a wealth of experience-based knowledge that can be directly applied to all aspects of your life. 

Ultimately, prioritize choosing an elearning course that meets your learning objectives and that’s taught in a way that resonates with you intuitively, rationally and emotionally. Over 153,342 students have enrolled in this training course. You will gain the skills and psychological wisdom to become a confident coach with the knowledge you need to enable positive transformation within your own life and also in the lives of others. 

This life coaching certification course offers abundant opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth. Once you enroll, you’ll gain access to our online peer-learning platform. There, you can participate in live facilitated discussions, Q&A sessions, and engage with aspiring life coaches from around the world. You can also join discussion forums and receive pro-bono coaching from our experienced coaches in training. 

Life coaching is a rapidly growing industry as more and more individuals seek methods for personal transformation. Your course instructor brings almost 15 years of experience in life coaching, ensuring that this course will provide an enriching experience and prepare you for real-world scenarios. 

Our dedicated content development team regularly updates our training course materials to keep them relevant. If you’re looking for a comprehensive understanding of life coaching that is affordable, this program will equip you with the knowledge and competencies needed to make positive improvements in every aspect of your life and the lives of others. 

Life coach certification costs can vary depending on factors such as course length, intensity, and delivery format. If you’re seeking a foundational understanding of the coaching process, an entry-level training or a free course may suffice. Consider your needs and preferences when choosing the right option for you. 

However, if you want to participate in a life coaching training that is comprehensive and HD video quality, the price you pay will generally reflect the quality of education you receive. Elearning often breaks purchasing rules in the sense that a course costing $7500 may leave you feeling not too much wiser than what you were before starting the training, whereas another course costing $175 may equip you with the insights and wisdom you need to begin life coaching people right away. 

The cost of online life coaching certification courses can vary greatly depending on the provider, length of the course, and level of accreditation. At Achology, our life coaching certification training course is available for a one-time fee of $299 USD with an accompanying monthly subscription plan of $39 USD for students who want access to our in-house collaborative peer-peer learning environment. This makes it an affordable option compared to other similar courses in the market. 

Before you commit to any life coaching training, bear in mind that a training course’s cost might not reflect its value. Sadly, some training still deliver false promises. Prior to committing to any online elearning program, first investigate the training provider and read testimonials from former students. Through your due diligence, you can ensure the course you choose fits your personal learning goals. 

We understand that studying life coaching is a big decision, and we want our students to feel confident in their choice. That’s why we offer a 14-day full money-back guarantee on all of our Achology training courses – giving you the opportunity to try the course without any risk!
