Your Coaching Curriculum

Institute courses are a careful blend of theory and practical application. Theory is taught through concise user friendly learning materials that have been specifically designed to maximise your learning time making your studies as enjoyable and productive as possible.

All readings, resources, and case studies have been thoroughly researched and compiled into structured workbooks that are provided as part of your course. This means that you don’t have to go and conduct your own research or purchase any more textbooks, saving your valuable time and allowing you to focus on what’s really important - learning the skills of a master Life Coach.

The theoretical component for some Units is supplemented by a two-hour TeleClass. TeleClasses are an essential component of the learning process and aid the important transition from theory to application. During a TeleClass, you will participate in an interactive group coaching and teaching environment. You can attend a TeleClass for each Unit in nay time after the Unit’s workbook has been successfully completed. TeleClasses are scheduled regularly and include discussion of concepts and their application in a coaching environment, demonstration of skills, and practice of skill application. All TeleClasses are facilitated by an Institute Master Coach.

Practical components of the course are completed through interactive hands-on sessions that can be completed by a number of flexible means. You can either participate in small group sessions called ‘Skill Assessment Workshops’, work one on one with a Master Coach and apply your skills under their supervision, or video tape your practical skills and have our team of professional coaches review it for you. Each practical option is designed to be flexible in its delivery to maximise accessibility and educational value.

The Certificate IV in Life Coaching is the most popular coaching qualification in the country. It has 9 units, 3 practical assessments, and 9 Tele-Classes. It’s the ideal entry level qualification into the coaching industry.

The Certificate IV in Life Coaching consists of three progressive stages. Each stage is carefully designed to develop your theoretical understanding of coaching principals and enhance your practical application of coaching skills.

The Diploma of Life Coaching is the perfect qualification if you want a more thorough understanding of underlying coaching theories. It has 17 Units, including 16 core Units and one Specialty Stream of study (there is a choice of six specialty streams).

The first 9 Units of the Diploma are the same Units of the Certificate IV in Life Coaching. The remaining 7 core Units of the Diploma examine each of the four coaching approaches covered in the Certificate IV in greater detail, focusing specifically on their application in a range of coaching practice environments. Evaluation of how you use each coaching approach is an integral feature of these units.
