The Life Coaching Certification Course takes the coaching skills learned in the Student Journey Guide course and brings them to a professional level. This class, created around the 8 course competencies of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), completes the necessary coach-specific training hours needed to apply for ICF certification through the portfolio pathway. Through in-class practice, live feedback, and personalized support, you will be prepared to coach at a high level and understand what’s needed for ICF certification. You will receive the tools you need to coach YWAM students and staff, and be introduced to what it could look like to start coaching professionally as a business, or to use it as business for missions overseas.
