The 2.0 Coach Training program is specifically designed for coaches who have completed any of Academy of Coach Training’s 1.0 level training programs (ie. the 1.0 Academic Life Coach Training program) or who have completed another life coach training program previously. The focus of this advanced coach training program is to take your coaching skills to new heights and prepare you for further certification.

TRAINING TOPICS

The 2.0 Coach Training program combines research in positive psychology with advanced coaching concepts to help you take your coaching skills to the next level. Topics in this training program are NOT specific to working with students. However, combined with the 1.0 Academic Life Coach Training program, the 2.0 Coach Training program will provide you with a comprehensive set of coaching skills to build your business, and you will have additional training hours to pursue a higher level of ICF certification.

Topics covered in the 2.0 Coach Training program include:

Positive psychology’s history of and theories on curiosity, flow, habit change, and resilience
Exercises to help clients build flow, develop grit, and balance competing values in their lives

And so much more!

CERTIFICATION

Academy of Coach Training offers a variety of proprietary certification options. Upon the completion of both the 1.0 Academic Life Coach Training program and the 2.0 Coach Training Program, you are eligible for certification as a certified Academic Life Coach.

Coaches who have completed a coach training program previously may complete the ALC 1.0 Self-Study Option, in place of the full 1.0 training program, and be eligible for the same certification.

You also qualify for certification with the International Coach Federation (ICF) after completing your training.

Certification, both through a proprietary organization and the ICF, is an important step in establishing a successful coaching business. For more details about Academy of Coach Training’s certification requirements or certification through the International Coach Federation, click here.
