We know that choosing a coach training program can feel like an overwhelming decision.

We decided to research three recognized programs in the industry to see how their offerings compare.

These programs are Thriving Coach Academy, iPEC (Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching) and The Life Coach School.

We delve into eleven program features and compare them.

From our research, you will see how Thriving Coach Academy offers the most value compared to any other program on the market.

Our training does not teach you how to become a generic “life coach.” We support you in having specialized skills for different areas within coaching. As a student, you’ll also get access to our weekly Coaching Mastery Webinars, which are group trainings delivered live.

These webinars dive deeper into various different focus areas of coaching: Health & Wellness, Relationship & Couples, Executive & Leadership, Career & Life Purpose, Group and Entrepreneurship.

As a student in our program, you may choose to specialize in one area of coaching and grow a business around that topic. And for that, we give you the tools in these webinars to stand out and succeed. 

In between our live training modules, you also get weekly Mentor Coaching and Peer Coaching sessions where you will practice your coaching skills and receive supportive feedback.

There is no other program that offers the high level of support we do with this training. You will have everything you need if your goal is to launch a thriving coaching practice.

We are committed to raising the quality of coaching in our industry and have a rigorous standard that we hold our coaches to as they go through our program. When you complete all of our certification requirements, the last step will be to complete a final exam. Upon completion, you are certified as a Certified Professional Coach.

After you complete your certification, you will still have access to a growing archive of coaching tools and resources that will keep you equipped with up-to-date material that will ensure your continued success.

You will also have opportunities to stay connected with our coach community so you can continue growing your network.

Note: Our training program is currently delivered in English.

We believe coaching is not something that can be effectively learned from a textbook or video course alone.

Therefore, our training curriculum is highly experiential and allows you many opportunities to practice coaching as you learn it.

Our expert trainers and mentor coaches will provide personalized feedback as you strengthen your skills every step of the way.

Unlike most other trainings, we don't teach you how to become a generic or cookie-cutter coach.

That's why we provide six specialized trainings within our program so you can stand out as an expert in the following focus areas:

Health & Wellness, Relationships, Corporate, Executive, Career & Life Purpose, and Entrepreneur.

"I've been through many personal development trainings, and these are the best trainers I have worked with. Their engagement, openness, and mastery are examples to us all."

"I oversee a large corporate training department, but I become impatient and bored as a participant. This was the first time in a long time that maintained focus and stayed engaged 100% of the time.”
