"ILCT has been an amazing program for me. The breadth of courses, the experience of the instructors, and the community that is fostered with the students, faculty, and alumni help you grow beyond the end of your program. It is hard to put into words the personal transformation that is fostered through such a professional program but you become a better person because of it. Only one problem...So many incredible courses to choose from, hard to decide what to take!" – Michelle A., MSEd, MSEC, CWC

ILCT was recommended to me by someone I trust. I had done no research of my own prior to registering for this class. I am impressed with the ILCT's choice of instructor's, course content and student library. Thank you for creating a wonderful experience. -Helen F., BSBA, MA, PhD

"The entire staff has been a pleasure to communicate with. They all walk the talk of positivity, encouragement, professionalism, and quality. I appreciate Kelly, Amy, and Ellen's input and time. They each answered my questions quickly and resolved any requests. They made me feel important. Thank you!" - CS

"I love all the support and intelligence I have received from the ILCT staff and community!" - Linda C.

"I am really enjoying studying with ILCT and am learning so much, both on a personal and a professional level. Thanks to all the team for the quality service and teaching you provide." – Niamh M.

I'm a recent graduate of ILCT. I've been moved to offer this testimonial about Ellen Ritter because she has truly been a great friend and helper to me. Life coaching is my second career which I have chosen at a mature point in my life. Ellen has always been there for me as a cheerleader telling me I could do it--and this when I really wasn't sure I could. While at ILCT, Ellen was - and still is, as I have later gone about being a coach- a great aide and advisor still giving me ideas about coaching techniques. With all the candor and honesty I can muster, Ellen is truly thoughtful, warm and caring. She is ILCT's Dean of Students, but still finds time to rescue individual students from floundering - as I should know. ~ Melvin S., JD, MSW

"I've done my Foundational Course and Coaching Skills Practicum with an absolutely inspiring, wise and life changing teacher Lynn Meinke. Lynn taught us that in order to truly and professionally take care of your clients, you should ensure superb care of yourself. These two classes contributed significantly into making this happen for me: I've discovered my life purpose and personal values, built confidence in my skills and ability to master coaching relationship with a client and found my way of contribution to making world better by revealing life coaching power. In these classes I was rewarded by significant personal inspiration and published two books in half a year and my third one is on it's way! I just wish I'd found ILCT and life coaching earlier in my life." – Ausra B.

"I am thankful to ILCT for allowing me to make payments in order to complete all my coursework. Over the past five years, I have really enjoyed being a part of such a great institute! I LOVE ILCT! Thank you!" – Kim K.

"I completed three courses with ILCT and recently earned the Board Certified Credential. ILCT offered a flexible schedule and diverse array of classes that meet certification requirements and matched my specific areas of interest. The instructors were all active in their own coaching practices and brought a rich set of experiences to each class. ILCT's materials and web site were invaluable tools supporting the learning process. I would highly recommend this program for anyone seeking to learn coaching or enhance their skills." -Larry T., BCC, MA
