The Institute is proud to set the benchmark for service and support in Coaching Education. We have set ourselves the goal: "To provide the highest standard in coaching education and support services in the industry".
Our programs are professionally developed to ensure that upon completion you have the confidence, skills and knowledge to be a highly effective and respected Life Coach. We understand though that fitting study into a busy lifestyle can be challenging. That’s why we’ve developed a unique, completely flexible approach to Life Coaching education. We call it ‘Flex Learning’.
Flex Learning is a methodology for the way in which we’ve developed and deliver the Certificate IV and the Diploma of Life Coaching. Flex Learning puts you in control over when, where and how quickly you learn. With Flex Learning you are able to structure your preferred study methods around the many flexible delivery options that are available to you.
For instance, if you want to study full time you can choose to increase your practical contact time and fast track your studies to graduate sooner. Or perhaps like the majority of students you are working full or part time, and would prefer to integrate your studies around other important responsibilities. Well, Flex Learning gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to self pace through your studies, integrating face to face practical content together with external support such as evening TeleClasses and an interactive student network.
Flex Learning allows you to complete your accredited Life Coaching course in the time frame that suits you - and with the study and support structure that best meets your learning and lifestyle needs.
Through Flex Learning the Institute ensures your coaching education is the very best possible. Providing you with the Best Education, The Best Support and The Best Opportunities for the Future. Please continue reading to understand how working with our team of professionals will ensure you make the most of this exciting and truly rewarding profession.
Your course material has been carefully designed to maximise your learning experience and makes use of the latest education techniques from around the world. Your learning resources are professionally presented in a workbook format that includes all the resources, readings, worksheets, assessments and materials you will require to complete your course.
You’ll discover how easy the material is to follow as you progress through the assessments, each of which is referenced directly to the appropriate material in the workbook. This feature alone improves your overall comprehension and ensures you maximise your study time. Importantly, all your study material is included as part of your course. There is no additional cost for text books or other resource material.
You have access to a personal Coaching Adviser by phone and email for immediate study assistance. The Toll Free 1300 Study Assistance Hotline gives you direct access to your Coaching Adviser who will answer questions about assessment topics, clarify any concepts or information from your workbooks or readings, and provide personal coaching on completing your assessment. Your Coaching Adviser is available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm (EST) to ensure you understand the learning material and are able to apply your knowledge to the activities and case studies you work through.
The theoretical component of each Unit is supplemented by a two-hour TeleClass. TeleClasses aid the important transition from theory to application. During a TeleClass, you will be part of an interactive group coaching and teaching environment. You can attend the TeleClass for each Unit at any time after the Unit’s workbook has been successfully completed.
TeleClasses 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
Optional Practice Makes Perfect Workshops
When you’d like to apply your newfound coaching theory in a practical and supportive environment, the optional Practice Makes Perfect workshops are the ideal forum. These workshops run regularly on weekends at Student Fulfilment Centres.
Each workshop enables you to apply specific coaching theory to practical coaching scenarios under the guidance and supervision of an accredited Life Coach and in the company of other students at a similar stage of development. After completing the Practice Makes Perfect workshops your skill level and confidence will skyrocket!
Skill Assessment Workshops
When you are ready, and have completed the relevant written units, you have the opportunity to put your coaching skills to the test at the Skill Assessment Workshops. This is where you demonstrate to an accredited Life Coach that you have an understanding of the knowledge and skills needed to be a competent Coach. In this supportive environment your assessor will work with you one on one to help perfect your skills, providing you with feedback and opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge and experience.
Each member of the Institute’s Academic Support Team meet comprehensive education and experiential standards. They have tertiary qualifications in an appropriate discipline and years of industry experience and are required to undergo relevant ongoing training and professional development. Each team member is an experienced Life Coach and is able to provide you with a higher level of insight and understanding behind the course content.
We believe we are the only Life Coaching educator in Australia to impose such comprehensive Human Resource Standards on our education team. We do this to ensure that the information and support you receive as a student is of the highest quality.
If you would like to meet other students in your local area to network and study with, the Institute keeps a register of students that have expressed a desire to be a part of the student network program. This gives you the chance to set up a study partnership with another student, or group of students, to learn from and support each other throughout your studies. Inclusion in the student network is optional and is coordinated through your local Student Fulfilment Centre. Please note that student details are not released unless we have the student’s prior authority to do so.
Many students training to be coaches, themselves like to be coached and experience first hand how coaching is delivered and what wonderful results can be attained. Through the Institutes ‘Be Coached’ program, you can be introduced to an accredited LCI coach and undertake coaching yourself.
You will experience the same process you are learning about – establishing your goals, setting a time line, creating benchmarks and being guided and mentored along the way by your Life Coach. The ‘Be Coached’ program is of course an optional component of your Coaching studies, and you can choose to undertake it at any stage whilst you’re enrolled as a student. When you nominate to take up this option we’ll put you in touch with a number of accredited LCI coaches and you can decide which one will be your coach. A special ‘Student Only’ monthly fee has been negotiated for you by the Institute which significantly reduces the cost of being coached while you yourself are mastering the skills.
Students that undertake coaching often find that coaching not only inspires them to achieve more in their daily lives, but also assists them achieve their study goals and attain their coaching qualification faster.
