Courses and Curriculum

Our courses, which begin with the Foundation certificate program in coaching, offer a platform to build a professional identity as a business, executive, or internal corporate coach. Or even as a personal coach who does some business coaching.

Our most popular class, ECA 201, the Foundation Course: Certificate Program in Coaching is the prerequisite course for new students as well as those in the intermediate stages of their coaching and consulting careers. This is the course that started all the excitement about our program. The course includes hands on experience coaching and being coached by fellow students and the instructor on the intake process, setting goals, establishing the relationship, administering assessment tools and applying them in coaching. The objective is to give students the ability to collect data deeply so theycan become the worldís leading expert in both their clients and their clientís organization. Our program is known to some of the top vendors of coaching assessment tools. We offer training programs in conjunction with a top developer of 360-degree feedback instruments. Our classes include experiential learning of on-line assessments from Consulting Psychology Press including the MBTI, Firo-B, TKI and the Strong and Skills assessments. All students get hands on training in using the following assessment tools: MBTI, Firo-B, Strong & Skills Assessment, Emotional Competency Inventory (ECI), and one of the following: GLOF (Global Leader of the Future), LOF (Leader of the Future), PEA (Professional Effectiveness Assessment) or
