How To Choose Wisely Among Business Coaching Programs

By Carolyn Davis


As coaching becomes more and more popular as a source of income and a career choice for many, there are also a growing number of programs available on the market that offer training in this lucrative career field, but not all of them are equal. You must learn how to choose wisely among business coaching programs to ensure that you only receive the best training available.

Some have assumed the role of a business coach simply because they may have a degree in a business related field and feel that they can perform the services of coaching without any initial coach training. This is a huge mistake, the area of coaching is a specialty in itself and requires many hours of learning and training that you simply cannot get through business experience alone. You must also choose a program that offers certification in this field that is recognized in the industry among business leaders.

Credentials must be obtained from an Accredited Coach Training Program and received the International Coach Federation credential in order to be considered among the best in their field. Many businesses recognize the ICF credential and hire coaches based on this certification. They will not consider anyone otherwise because they cannot be sure how good the training they received will be or if they can actually do the job they set out to do.

Whatever training program you may be considering always check to see if the program is accredited and it they offer the ICF credentialing. If they do not then it is not an approved type of training and you may end up wasting a lot of money on a coaching program that will not get you very far in your chosen career field.

Your learning style should be considered before you sign up with any type of coaching program. Some offer online-only training while many offer a more hands-on approach with traditional classroom interaction. Whatever suits you make sure that you can learn best from that method of training before you commit to any program.

You may want to first assess if this type of training is right for you and if you have the financial resources to pay for the training as well. Make sure you have the time commitment necessary to complete the program which can take several months to a year or more depending on the specific program you are seeking.

If you want a solid career filled with many clients you must get the proper training and certification and credentials to make it a positive experience. Many do not obtain what they need and thus their careers suffer for it. You will be dealing with other professionals so you must always portray that type of professionalism as well in everything that you do.

In order to be successful and viewed as a professional within the industry will take some careful choosing of the type of courses that you take and the financial commitment that you make to it. Nothing comes cheap these days and if you want a good sound coaching practice you must get only the best there is and nothing less.
