Coach Training Support

• UCI’s one-of-its-kind transformational coach training and certification program is unique because of its based on an eclectic approach to coaching, which includes best practices from the fields of:
• Positive Psychology
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Cognitive Therapies
• Life Coaching
• Mindfulness

An eclectic approach is an open, integrative style of coaching that incorporates a variety of principles and philosophies that adapts to the unique needs of each specific client, depending on the problem, the goals, expectations, and motivation.

An eclectic coach will draw from a variety of disciplines, customize the coaching process, and use a range of proven methods to determine the best combination of coaching tools to help the client.

The eclectic approach to coaching is not mixed and matched; it is thoughtful, integrated, and systemic in nature.

The self-paced program is at your own pace. You will receive certificate of completions as you progress through each course. With diligence it can take 12 weeks to complete.

You will access course materials in the online student center.

UCI is an ICF CCE – Continuing Education provider.

Through our Solution-Focused Coach training program, you can only receive 10 ICF hours to go towards your ICF accreditation.

We do not offer the full 60 ICF hours for ICF accreditation.

Please note: You do not need to be ICF accredited because the ICF does not regulate the coaching industry and upon successful completion of this program, you will become a Certified Coach.

No, However, you will be certified through Universal Coach Institute if you take the live online class. But not, ICF accredited.

No. The coaching industry is not regulated. There is no official certification or license for you to become a professional coach (life coach, business coach, etc.)  in the USA.

There are many educational programs like UCI that will award you with a certificate upon completion. This means that you have been trained as a coach and have successfully completed a training program. With training and certification, you will be more credible to clients as a coach.

The ICF is a voluntary organization that attempts to govern and regulate coaching. Although legally, they have no power to do this, within the coaching profession, they are viewed as the strongest of organizations.

Keep in mind that over 95% of clients will not have heard of the ICF and thus care more about certification titles and training then governing bodies.

Clients generally do not know who the ICF is and what they do. Clients are most often only concerned that you are trained and certified.

However, if you are seeking employment with large organizations, they often look for ICF accredited coaches when hiring.

Upon successful completion of the self-paced, you will receive:

• Life Coach Certification
• Solution-Focused Coach Certification
• Positive Psychology Coach Certification
• Transformational Coach Certification
