The in-class modules:
All modules are three-day intensive programs designed to offer information, experience, and practice in a very supportive and nurturing environment, designed for maximum learning and enjoyment. We utilize many different mediums to enhance the learning process, including presentations, group work, videos, writing, role-playing, modeling, learning games and coaching simulations.
Live client hours:
You will acquire about 50+ hours of live coaching experience with peers, both as a coach and as a client, under email and phone supervision, beginning after the Life Potentials Training. This works out to about 2 hours per week. In addition, you may get additional coaching clients on your own, and more through iPEC's Coach Community and Support Network.
Teleclasses:
Additional learning and development occurs during our weekly teleclasses. These sessions go for up to 120 minutes each, and are required for graduation/certification. Sessions are recorded for your convenience. We additionally have an extensive audio resource library where you can hear coaching demos, learn more about specific niches, get information about building your business, and much more.
One-to-one skill development mentor coaching:
You will be assigned an ICF-credentialed coach as a mentor who will help with coaching comprehension as well as offer extensive feedback, evaluation, and strategies to improve your coaching ability. You will also receive a support liaison to assist you with any concerns or challenges.
Quick Start Business Development Program:
An Accredited Business Development Coach will guide you through the Quick Start Program, which will help you get your coaching business soaring even before graduation. Those who are not interested in building a coaching practice can instead choose sessions with an Accredited Energy Leadership Coach (Learn more about Energy Leadership). This program begins once you complete Module III.
Independent program development:
As an independent study project, you will design a presentation in an area of interest to you to be delivered live during either Module II or III, or by teleclass or in a written report.

iPEC's Core Energy Coach Certification and Coaching Mastery Curriculum
Life Potentials Training
The Life Potentials Training (a.k.a. Module I) gives you the opportunity to experience the power of Core Energy Coaching™ first hand, and provides practical knowledge about how to utilize its potential in many aspects of your life. To help you “walk the talk,” we’ve designed a program that not only teaches you transformational coaching skills that you can use with yourself and others, but also significantly advances your personal and professional growth.
Each of us has a belief system that runs our lives. Unfortunately, many people’s belief systems don’t help them reach their potential on the job or at home. Fortunately, belief systems come with a warranty – if you don’t like yours, you can return it and replace it with one that works better for you.
At the Life Potentials Training, you’ll learn powerful tools, coaching skills to empower and engage others, mind-expanding theories, 10 High-Potential Concepts, and iPEC’s core Foundation Principles. The curriculum is designed to give you new choices and possibilities to help you create the belief system, and life, you choose.
You won’t learn all this through a boring lecture format. Instead, you will live it, and in the “process,” have an experience of a lifetime. And, because you’ll not only learn, but practice, the Core Energy Coaching skills throughout the weekend, by Sunday afternoon, you’ll have the confidence to use what you’ve learned the very next day so you can immediately and positively impact your relationship with others, as well as your relationship with your own self. You’ll also develop a relationship with iPEC, and see us as a resource for your continued growth.
You’ll receive a workbook for use during the weekend training, as well as part one of the Coach Training Manual.
