Enjoy Proven Training Methods That Work

Studies show adults learn differently than kids do. So we’ve designed our training to be as useful and impactful for adult learners as possible—using things like hands-on learning during class, peer-to-peer support, actionable takeaways, and a “learn-experience-reflect” feedback loop to create a cohesive learning environment for you, the adult student. (Not to mention, our Lead Trainers are talented, experienced coaches at the top of their game—so you’re learning from the best in the business.)

Use Flexible Training To Fit Your Life

You’ll have plenty of flexibility when it comes to your live training modules. Choose the environment that’s best for you with options like in-person vs. virtual modules, midweek vs. weekend training, and flexible timing for your self-study assignments.

What to Expect in iPEC's Coach Training Program

Module I

Mod I (Coaching Fundamentals) is the first of three live training modules.

During this in-person or virtual training (you choose!) you’ll immerse yourself in iPEC’s unique Core Energy Coaching™ methodology, which focuses on getting to the root of challenges by identifying the inner thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that block a person’s success—and then shifting them to create sustainable change. After this module you'll have 20+ tactical skills and access to handouts, exercises, and resources you can use with clients right away.

Reinforce Your Learning Between Modules

In between each live training module, you’ll continue engaging with the material by:

  • Practicing coaching and being coached with both peers and mentors weekly

  • Attending weekly skill-building webinars

  • Completing fun and challenging self-study assignments that reinforce key coaching concepts 

Module II

In Mod II, you’ll:

  • Learn new, foundational frameworks for exploring and challenging your clients’ deep-seated thoughts and patterns

  • Hone new skills for addressing common client concerns, questions, and issues that you might encounter

  • Develop, practice, and refine advanced coaching techniques for supporting your clients and removing blocks

  • Gain access to a library of resources to help you explore your coaching niche options

Continue Practicing and Learning

Practice makes progress! In between modules, you’ll continue building and refining your skills through a range of activities. You will take the ELI assessment yourself, ahead of Module III (in preparation for your in-depth training on how to deliver an ELI debrief!)

Module III

In Mod III, you’ll:

  • Practice advanced coaching skills that create sustainable, long-term change

  • Learn about the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual blocks that influence a person’s actions

  • Become proficient in administering the Energy Leadership Index® assessment (ELI), a research-backed assessment that identifies the filters through which we approach life and provides deep insights into an individual’s beliefs and blocks

Post Module III

After completing Module III and any remaining coursework, you’ll submit your final exams and earn two certifications: Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and Energy Leadership Index® Master Practitioner (ELI-MP).

You'll then have the exciting option of taking your training further with graduate courses, including choosing a niche and earning a third certification through COR.E® Dynamics.

The best part? At any point in the program you can start coaching clients (and even launch your coaching business) and integrate your new skills into your daily life and work!
