* If you are not interested in building a coaching business, you may choose to work with an Accredited Energy Leadership Coach instead.

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.

Life Potentials Training
 
The Life Potentials Training (a.k.a. Module I) gives you the opportunity to experience the power of coaching first hand. At iPEC, we want our coaches to “walk the talk,” so we’ve designed a program that not only provides you with powerful coaching skills you can use with others, but one that also fosters your own personal growth. You’ll learn powerful tools, empowering skills, mind-expanding theories, and new choices that will rapidly and dramatically help you move closer to your potential. We’ll introduce you to 10 High-Potential Concepts and our Foundation Principles, which can literally change the way you look at the world. You won’t simply learn these concepts and principles - you’ll experience them.  You will have the opportunity to see exactly how they relate to you and to your world so you will be able to truly implement them in your own life. And, you’ll learn and practice coaching skills throughout the weekend so that by Sunday afternoon, you’ll have the confidence to take what you’ve learned and use it with others. This training will immediately impact and improve your relationship with others and the relationship you have with your own self, and will also provide you with a new, supportive and nurturing relationship with iPEC.

iPEC's Tuition

There are a broad range of prices that you can pay for a coach training program.  There are unaccredited programs that start as low as $2,000 - $3,000.  Most accredited programs range from as little as $5,000 to as much as $12,000 or more.

The key to understanding the price of a program is making sure you know exactly what is included within the cost.  Some programs appear less expensive, however, when you study them further, you find hidden charges, such as needing to hire your own mentor coach, purchase additional books, and/or pay for business development coaching or kits.  iPEC believes in integrity and clarity as values, and that holds true for pricing as well. We not only offer more than any other program for the price, but also make sure everything we offer is clear and concise, with nothing hidden.
