CFE Coach Certification Program
Transform your personal and professional life by becoming a certified coach!
Coaching For Everyone (CFE) is on a mission to certify the next generation of BIPOC coaches, and we invite you to join us in this incredible journey.
The CFE Coach Certification is dedicated to providing one of the most high quality, culturally-relevant, and comprehensive coaching training programs available today. Our coaching scholars are taught by some of the most knowledgeable coaches in the country.
At the end of each coach training and certification program, our scholars come away with the designation of certified coach and receive ongoing support toward meeting their International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentialing requirements and discovering their next career opportunity.

Program Eligibility
We invite all working professionals who identify as BIPOC and are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of under-resourced and underserved communities to apply to the Scholars Program. No prior coaching experience is needed to participate in the Scholars Program.
Core Program Features
All training will be delivered virtually.
Our Partners
We partner with iPEC – the sole source of the ICF Accredited iPEC Coach Training Program, the Energy Leadership IndexTM (ELI) and SCOPETM Assessments, and COR.E DynamicsTM Coach Training. iPEC provides a fully immersive and experiential journey into self-discovery that allows people to fully realize their potential.
CFE ensures that every instructor has been vetted as having a combination of lived experience as a member of a marginalized population and/or extensive training in anti-racism.
