Complete Foundation Training with Coach Integration
Bring it all together and define your future as a coach.
The Final Leg of Your Foundation Training Journey
This four-session, four-week course is a focused learning and integration experience. It draws together the many coaching skills, models and strategies taught in the foundation training.
The Coach Integration (CI) curriculum brings together everything you’ve learned so far and provides a pause for emerging coaches to reflect on and clarify the focus for your coaching services.
It also offers closure and celebration for the community cohort (the trainers and student colleagues who have learned together for a year), as completing CI culminates in the Coach Approach Training Institute Foundation Training Program Graduation, when you can claim your title as a trained coach.
The Coach Integration course provides a structure for emerging coaches to integrate the multifaceted coaching methodologies they’ve been taught. The pre-requisites are Coaching Essentials, Strengths-Based Coaching, Brain-Based Coaching, and Life & ADHD Coaching.
