Start Dates & Schedule

This page will walk you through our upcoming cohort start dates, live training schedule, and what to expect once you enroll in Thriving Coach Academy.

You’ll also learn how to begin preparing before your official cohort start date, including when you’ll receive Student Portal access, training manuals, and opportunities to observe live practice coaching calls.

Upcoming Cohort Start Dates

July 15, 2026 @ 7p Eastern
September 19, 2026 @ 11am Eastern
November 11, 2026 @ 7p Eastern

We encourage students to enroll as far in advance of their preferred start date as possible. Once you enroll, you’ll receive access to your Student Portal, have your training manuals sent to you, and can begin preparing right away.

You’ll also be invited to immediately join our Practice Coaching Calls, where you can observe students who are a few steps ahead of you as they practice real coaching and receive feedback. This gives you a chance to get familiar with the coaching process before it’s your turn to coach.

If a cohort has recently started and you’re wondering whether you can still enroll, please reach out to our team. We’ll do our best to accommodate you based on timing and availability.

Weekly Live Call Schedule

Throughout the program, you’ll have access to live calls designed to help you build both the art of coaching and the business of coaching. Some calls are available to you right away, while others become more relevant as you move deeper into the program.

Tuesday: Practice Coaching Calls

You are invited to begin joining Practice Coaching Calls as soon as you enroll. At first, you’ll have the opportunity to observe students who are a few steps ahead of you as they practice real coaching and receive feedback. As you progress, these calls will become one of the main places where you practice your own coaching skills, receive support, and build confidence.

Times: 12:00–2:00 PM Eastern or 8:00–10:00 PM Eastern

Wednesday: Client Magnet Calls

These calls focus on helping you grow your coaching business and attract clients. Most students begin focusing more heavily on these calls later in the program, once they have built a stronger coaching foundation. However, you are welcome to join right away if you want to start setting up your business sooner.

Times: 2:00–3:00 PM Eastern or 8:00–9:00 PM Eastern

Thursday: Coaching Focus Webinars

These trainings explore specific coaching topics and common client challenges so you can deepen your confidence, skill, and range as a coach. You will typically begin joining these calls later in the program as you become ready for more advanced coaching topics and client scenarios.

Times: 12:00–2:00 PM Eastern or 8:00–10:00 PM Eastern

Weekend Training Modules

In addition to weekly calls, you’ll attend three live weekend modules during your certification journey. These weekends serve as important checkpoints in your training and help you integrate what you’ve been learning.

Times: Saturday and Sunday (spaced throughout the year), 11:00 AM–5:00 PM Eastern

Flexible Participation

You are not expected to attend every call right away. Access to different calls opens as you progress through the program, and the curriculum is designed so most students spend about 3–5 hours per week on their training.

All calls are recorded, so if you can’t attend live or need to leave early, you’ll be able to watch the replay.

You’ll also have peer group calls and private mentor coaching sessions that can be scheduled at your convenience.

Additional Work Outside of Live Calls

Outside of live training, you’ll complete journaling exercises in your workbook and review on-demand trainings inside your Student Portal.

This flexible structure of our program allows you to begin building your skills immediately while moving through the program in a way that fits your life.
