How Much Does ICF Level 2 Coach Training Cost?

ICF Level 2 coach training generally costs from about $4,000 to more than $19,000. The price matters less than what it covers: training hours, mentor coaching, practice hours and the final evaluation. iPEC®’s ICF Level 2 accredited Coach Training Program is $9,995 and includes all of them, which is why we call it the strongest value in ICF Level 2 coach training.
