The Complete Guide to Christian Coach Training
As the author of The Complete Guide to Christian Coach Training, I am currently redesigning this work into updated, accessible resources for today’s diverse and global coaching community.
This Guide includes a directory of Christian coach training programs accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) at the Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 standards. These accredited programs provide the required training pathway for students pursuing ACC, PCC, or MCC credentials with the ICF.
Yes—you can find high-quality, industry-recognized, ICF-accredited coach training taught from a Christian worldview. Below is a directory of programs that offer exactly that.
