This live training is part of the first course in our comprehensive ICF Accredited Coach Training Program. It is the first 20 hours of The Foundational Coach Training (40 hours), which was designed specifically for therapists, counselors, human services professionals and others with backgrounds in the people business. It facilitates and assists those individuals who wish to move from their current profession into coaching and those who wish to add coaching to their current practice.
