Ready to begin?
The first step in the Certified Life Coach (CLC) path is to register for and complete the Foundational course.
The Certified Life Coach (CLC) credential is ILCT’s internal certification, attained through a progression of coursework and coaching experience. Potential candidates must complete the 40-hour Foundational course, complete the 20-hour Coaching Skills Practicum course, document 50 hours of coaching (with at least 5 clients and no more than 25% pro bono) and complete the 20-hour ICF Core Competency course.
The courses required for the CLC must be taken sequentially, so it takes approximately one year to complete the studies for the CLC. The cost for the three required courses is $4,395. The only additional cost is the book used in the Foundational course, Becoming a Professional Life Coach, by Dr. Patrick Williams, which costs less than $30.
All courses are conducted via teleconferences.
We encourage you to find a long distance calling plan which will allow you to call our U.S. teleconference numbers for at least 3 hours per week.
ILCT is accredited by the International Coach Federation.
All credits earned as you become a CLC will also count towards your pursuing credentialing with the International Coach Federation (ICF).
