Life Coaching Competency Development Training (Skills and Practice)

Discover the skills and methodologies utilised by experienced life coaches to empower yourself and others in surpassing personal and professional goals.

Training Course Description

Despite popular belief, a life coach is not a ‘fixer’ of people. Instead, credible life coaches provide structured support and wisdom for individuals in active pursuit of personal growth and increased productivity. This training transcends textbook learning and demonstrates a complete coaching process from start to end.

Life Coaching is more than just a series of techniques. It’s a methodical process through which people can be empowered to define, quantify, and exceed the long-term goals they set for themselves. Life Coaching involves getting under people’s skin to learn the value they have to offer and identify what’s holding them back.

Covering a broad spectrum of topics including mindset development, goal setting, time management, problem solving and communication skills, this course will equip you with the knowledge and insights you need for life coaching yourself and for pioneering a respectable, results-orientated life coaching practice.

You will learn the core values that motivate all human behaviour. With this knowledge, your goal setting skills will get sharpened, as will your communication skills, decision making, time management and problem solving prowess. You will learn to help people make decisions that align with their goals and priorities.

This course offers a detailed framework, complete with thought-provoking questions and exercises. It equips you with the tools to help people understand their priorities, set goals, establish balance in their lives, achieve greater clarity into their journey, foster inner peace and unlock new pathways to growth and progression.

All our training materials are produced in HD video, accompanied by an MP3 version 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 developing life coaching competency.

Find confidence in knowing that the primary aim of this course is to equip you for coaching others. You will learn to assess people’s immediate situation and select the best coaching approach to help them achieve their personal goals. The coaching framework presented in this training will equip you with all of the knowledge, insights and coaching skills that you can employ in your future career as a life 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."

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?

On the lower end of the spectrum, basic life coaching competency development programs can be found for as little as $200-$300.

Premium courses, often provided by top-tier institutions or renowned life coaches, can cost anywhere from $1000 to even $5000 or more.
