How our program is delivered right to your home or office
How to complete the entire program in just 10 months!

Class Delivery - Super-Convienient, Highly Engaging Teleclasses
All of our classes are delivered by super-convenient dialogue-rich teleclasses. You dial into the telephone bridge at class time and you are fully engaged in learning from anywhere you can go with a phone.

We feel this is a great way to learn how to coach for four reasons:
1) Short bursts of learning: It allows us to teach you in short intense bursts over a period of time – much like the way MOST coaching is delivered to clients. This way you learn something and then practice during the week. Then you learn the next step and again practice during the week. This is the optimal way to learn when you want maximum retention.

2) Learn to coach the way you will coach: Week by week and mostly (or all) by phone. MOST life and business coaching is done on a weekly basis. (sometimes twice monthly). So you will learn how to Coach in the same way on a weekly schedule. Also, most coaching is conducted by phone so you will practice with us in the same way you will probably work with your clients / players. This is a smart way to learn.

3) ZERO carbon foot print - ZERO time away from home, family and office
Time is precious! And so is the environment! We don’t want to add any unneeded stress of travel onto your schedule OR carbon emissions into the environment. By delivering our program over the phone right into your home or office you can keep everything stable at home and office while you train for your new career. This is a good thing.

4) Cost Effective
With an on-site coach training program not only do you lose the benefits of short burst learning and the real to life learning scenario, you ADD the time and money expense of travel for airfare, eating on the road and hotels. In our humble opinion, our way is simply smarter AND better.

On-line Learning Center
Our graduate level program is supported by our amazing learning platform that will enable you to work through the curriculum with style.  Also used by MIT Sloan School of Business, our platform is quite unique in the coaching industry.  Each class has an on-line learning center with the following items:

1) Written learning guides: each class has a detailed document with theories, methods and key concepts. We like to call them “Play Books”. Some of them are quite colorful!

2) Complete Class Recordings: there is a complete class recording of an earlier version of the class available if you have to miss a class.

3) On-line quizzes: each class has an on-line multiple-choice quiz that you must complete; passing score is 80%.

4) Attendance tracking: each class has an on-line syllibus where you will track your completion of every class session. Here you will confirm your attendance in each teleclass by entering the class attendance secret code given by the instructor at the beginning and ending of the teleclass. If you complete a session via self-study you will track this here as well.

5) Colleague Connections: The complete class roster is available for you to easily connect with your colleagues in class. As a student in our school you will create a member profile. The roster contains links to the member profiles of each student in the class.

6) Convenient On-line Class Registration: The registration center makes it easy to set up your complete schedule and register for the classes at the times you want.
* Only available to students who register for the complete Center for Coaching Mastery program.

 7) Self-paced Home Study Before, During and After: With our on-line platform you will have access to all the materials for each class from the moment you register AND for as long as you want after the class. If you want to get started early by reading or listening, go for it. If you want to come back years later and re-do a class, it will be there for you. There are no time limits. In fact, we refresh the recordings every 2 years, so you will have access to the latest version when you come back! Mastery is a lifelong pursuit and we are here for you.
