Positive Coaching’s Core Coach Certification Program

This program is innovative, challenging, and designed to satisfy your coach training needs, no matter where you are in your professional development or career. It’s perfect for experienced professionals who want to add coaching certification to their credentials as well as aspiring coaches who are just starting their coaching business. The extensive supervised coaching practice helps to reinforce the learning deep into “muscle memory.” This program completely satisfies all but one of the application requirements for ICF certification: 75 hours coach training including 10.5 hours mentor coaching and final ACC performance evaluation. In addition, we do everything we can to assist you with the only remaining requirement--gathering 100 coaching experience hours. We actively look for and refer coaching opportunities to our students, both pro bono and paid. 

After you submit your application to ICF, you must also pass the written Coach Credentialing Exam. Positive Coaching has an impeccable track record of graduates passing this exam with flying colors. We’re confident you will too.

In this highly successful and tightly designed program, all ICF required hours of coach training is delivered in an intensive, focused 7-day experience. A small amount of pre-work is required which is included in your training hours. Then students are totally immersed in coaching philosophy, skills, and observed practice with individual feedback by certified professional coaches. This program delivers a deep understanding of the ICF coaching competencies combined with powerful coaching tools derived from neuroscience and neuro-linguistic programming. 

And there is GOOD NEWS for our Prior Graduates! 

If you graduated from one of our Core Coach Certification Programs prior to July 2023, we can approve your Performance Evaluation. Our goal is a two-week turnaround compared to what we know is a "slow boat to China" with the ICF. Once your pass your performance evaluation and we confirm your mentor coaching, we will upgrade your original ACSTH certificate to our new Level 1 certificate. You will then apply for your certification through the Level 1 pathway. If this is something you want to take advantage of, it costs $450 which includes one re-evaluation just in case your first recording doesn't pass. Just add it to your cart here. Then you will send us the recording along with a time-stamped, verbatim transcript. We are excited to be able to finally support our graduates in this way!

** Tuition increases reflect the incremental costs of ICF's new accreditation requirements. Primarily, we are now responsible for ALL of the formal performance evaluations which ICF used to do (and often took as long as 22 weeks to compete before a candidate could take the written exam). Under our new process, we are responsible for completing the evaluations with a goal to have them completed in 2-3 weeks. This dramatically expedites the process for the candidate such that they can accelerate taking the written exam by is as much as 4 months. For Positive Coaching, it adds significant costs for assessors and a more complex semi-annually process with ICF going forward. The good news is that the ICF's application and written exam fee is $200 less, which offsets a little bit of the increase and we are adding new modules that will be free or half price for our core certification students.
