Requirements for Admittance into Coach School

1. Minimum Education: A high school diploma or equivalent is required. While a college degree is not necessary, many of our students bring some higher education or professional experience. What’s most important is a genuine curiosity and a commitment to personal growth. If learning is a core value for you, you’ll feel right at home here. Many students tell us the program feels as rich and rewarding as a graduate-level experience, without the pressure of traditional academia. Graduates describe it as one of the most meaningful educational experiences of their lives, comparable in depth and impact to a master’s level program
2. Have a Desire to Be a Recognized Professional in the Field of Coaching: While anyone can call themselves a coach, those who pursue rigorous training, feedback, and real-world practice set themselves apart. They earn trust more quickly, feel more confident in their work, and contribute to the growth and integrity of the profession as a whole.
3. Professional Experience: Applicants may come from a variety of backgrounds, including coaching, leadership, management, or the helping professions. While extensive experience is not required, we look for some evidence of working with or supporting others in a professional or service capacity..
