* Actual rates and terms are subject to lender approval, may change, and will vary by applicant based on factors like credit score, debt-to-income ratio, loan amount, and state. Applicants must be a U.S. resident and have a valid U.S. SSN and US bank account to apply. 

Most of our students work full-time and have families. The program takes about 9 - 12 months to complete and most students devote five hours of work per week to coaching, classes, and coursework. 

Our Coach Training Program (CTP) curriculum is fully aligned with the ICF Core Competencies and is accredited as a Level 2 organization by the ICF. Completing CTP and earning your Certified Professional Coach (CPC) designation provides you with 160 accredited training hours, which is everything you need to apply for your ACC or PCC credential through the ICF. If you choose to complete COR.E^® Dynamics, an iPEC graduate course included in your tuition, you will have earned 200 accredited training hours, which satisfies the training hours requirement for your MCC credential through the ICF. 

The Coach Training Program has three distinct phases anchored by three live, 3-day training intensives: 

1. Coaching Fundamentals 

2. Core Transformation 

3. Breakthrough Coaching 

   1. Each live, 3-day training intensive provides you with lectures, activities, tools, peer practice, and trainer feedback. After each training intensive, students will also complete coursework in the form of live and recorded webinar classes, peer coaching, peer groups, mentoring, assignments, and readings. 

iPEC offers a free elective as a part of CTP called Quick Start, which covers the foundations of creating a coaching practice, identifying a niche and ideal client, and selling coaching packages and programs. Post-program, the graduate community contains many opportunities for networking and ongoing education.

1. Core Energy Coaching™! Most traditional coaching programs focus on goal achievement and getting from point A to point B. Core Energy Coaching™ goes deeper—it gets to the root of what needs to shift to get from point A to point B and removes energy blocks in the way to ensure that when a client goes for the goal, they are successful and their success is repeatable and sustainable. 

2. CTP is also one of the most hands-on, intensive, and comprehensive programs out there; it focuses heavily on coaching practicum and live feedback and trains students to be able to coach any type of client on any topic. 

Core Energy Coaching™ is a proprietary coaching process that gets to the core energy behind what is preventing the client from experiencing success and satisfaction in all areas of life.

1. By completing the Coach Training Program, you’ll earn your Certified Professional Coach (CPC) designation. 

2. There are also two optional certifications included in your tuition: Energy Leadership^® Master Practitioner (ELI-MP) and COR.E^® Dynamics Specialist. The ELI-MP allows you to deliver iPEC’s proprietary assessment, the ELI, and all COR.E niche specialties prepare you to work with clients on enhancing their performance in some area of life.
