How long does professional coach training take?
To get to a professional level of coaching, we recommend no less than 50 hours of training. This is in line with international standards. However to become a GREAT coach 70+ hours is preferable. If you just want basic coaching skills, let’s say to use in your career (leaders, executives, trainers, managers, customer services and HR benefit from coaching skills) and you don’t want to become a professional coach, then 9 – 12 hours of training with a top course will serve you well. TIP: Start with a Coaching Skills module 9 – 12 hours of training before committing to a full program. That way you can check if coaching is for you, and walk away with valuable skills.
