Advantages of Training With Coach U?
A comprehensive, inclusive approach
Because there isn’t a single approach that works for everyone, we use a variety of approaches, strategies and paths to success, so that you can offer a complete menu to your coachees and customize your coaching to each individual. Coaches come from all backgrounds and have different cultural and style preferences. The Coach U approach is sensitive to this cultural diversity and is also very illuminating as you learn how to effectively coach individuals from all walks of life and from every region in the world.
Just-in-time learning convenience.
Coaches want to learn what they need when they need it. Our flexible approach to course scheduling, use of self-study materials and access to other resources and other coaches makes this possible.
Flexible professional path.
Some coaches want to coach full-time, other people want to coach part-time and yet others want to integrate sound coaching skills and strategies into their current jobs or businesses. Thanks to the flexibility of our training programs, you can use your coaching skills in any way you want.
Leading edge information and tools.
Innovation is very important to us at Coach U. You wouldn’t buy stale bread from the store, don’t buy stale information from a training program. We constantly add new content and upgrade current content to make sure it’s still relevant in a changing world. Recently we launched brand-new curriculums that reflect the continual development and evolution of the coaching profession. Our materials are fresh, better, effective, learnable and teachable. Our materials are developed using a key learning increment model, whereby all pieces of the curriculum stand alone, but still connect with other pieces.
World-class coaches as trainers.
All Coach U facilitators have been leading courses and programs for many years and are credentialed by the International Coach Federation as a Professional Certified Coach or Master Certified Coach. It is more important to us that this training program is facilitated by masterful coaches who know something about training rather than masterful trainers who know something about coaching. We want you to learn from experienced masterful coaches who are also good trainers.
100% of our 40 global faculty members/trainers are ICF Credentialed, at the PCC or MCC level. This means you will learn from those that do.
Access to an international coaching community.
Coach U hosts a variety of Community Engagement groups. This provides a powerful community for our students and graduates. In addition to being trained at Coach U you have over 50,000 coaches for mutual support and referrals. You have thousands of specialists you can turn to for help with a coachee, employee, friend or family member. And you have that many more people to connect with, benefit from, learn from and enjoy. Both professional and personal relationships result from this network.
