Founded in 1998 The Institute for Life Coach Training continues to be a leading international provider of coach training, having trained thousands of professional coaches throughout the world to transition their skills into coaching. ILCT was one of the first coach training programs to be accredited by the International Coach Federation and was the first coach training program selected by the Center for Credentialing and Education for graduate level professionals pursuing the Board Certified Coach credential. The Institute’s rich heritage in the social sciences and its commitment to excellence allows us to attract and retain a highly accomplished faculty, many of whom are dually trained and qualified in traditional helping professions as well as coaching. ILCT’s elective courses cover a wide range of topics to help students build their coaching practice, including 6 coaching specialist certificate programs for students who are interested in specializing in a specific area of coaching, including Business, Christian, Career Development, Life, Relationship, and Wellness Coaching.
