30-hour Board Certified Coach Training
For those with a doctorate in social and behavioral sciences, a master's in counseling, or who hold a state licensure like LPC, LCSW, etc.
The Board Certified Coach credential (BCC), offered by the Center for Credentialing and Education, recognizes the strong foundation developed as part of a graduate degree program in the social and behavioral sciences, and their applicability to coaching.
For those who have a doctorate degree in the social and behavioral sciences, have a Master’s in the social and behavioral sciences and hold state licensure (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, etc.), have a Master's in Counseling, or hold an NCC (National Certified Counselor) credential, the 30-hour Board Certified Coach Training program provides strong grounding in coaching competencies, and clarifies the distinctions between coaching, counseling and other helping professions.
Students pursuing this path to Board Certified Coach credentialing will begin by registering for ILCT’s 20-hour Coach Approach course and complete at least 10 additional hours of coach training from our wide selection of electives.
The Institute for Life Coach Training has been qualified by the Center for Credentialing and Education, Inc. (CCE) as a Registered Credential Training Provider, RCTP No. RCTP1005-BCC, to provide training courses qualified for credit for the Board Certified Coach credentials. All ILCT courses qualify for CCE credit unless otherwise indicated. ILCT is solely responsible for all aspects of the training courses.
Those with a master's degree in other social or behavioral sciences will want to choose the 60-hour Board Certified Coach Training program.
Testimonials
"I am continually impressed with the professional quality of the training and support ILCT provides to aspiring coaches and just wanted to say that I’m proud to be affiliated with such an organization. I recently fulfilled the ILCT coursework for the BCC certification, passed the BCC exam several weeks ago, and am now launching my coaching practice as a BCC. I greatly appreciate the on-going training and support you offer your graduates through these monthly teleconferences." – Irene E., M.S., BCC
