New information is now available for prospective life coach training and certification students.
August 11, 2005 (Press Release) --
With the life coaching profession growing daily, prospective students looking to become highly paid professional life coaches, are looking for training and certification to validate their careers.
What many students fail to realize is that when they begin working as a coach, the accreditation of the school they attended, will be relatively meaningless to their clients. Clients will look to verify that the coach is trained, then ask for a sample session to see if they have a connection with the coach. Most important is whether a particular coach can help that person.
Peer Resources (http://www.peer.ca/coachingschools.html), recognized world leader in coach training resources states "accreditation" in the coaching field at present has a number of troubling aspects, including its lack of wide-spread acceptance, conflicts of interests between reviewers and some rated schools, minimal reporting of results, and questionable or vague criteria. While accreditation typically means the school has been reviewed by an external source, it does not necessarily mean that "non-accredited schools" provide less value or poorer quality programs."
So how does the potential coaching student make a sound choice? Here are some ways:
Read student testimonials. Verify the school's philosophies allign with yours. Contact the school and see if they are prompt with replies to your questions. Look for a school in your desired niche.
It is recommended that potential students not be persuaded by gimicky advertising, high fees and accreditation. Look for the best school for you.
