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.
A highly personalized, one-of-a-kind coach training and certification experience that prepares BIPOC professionals to become best-in-class coaching practitioners. Each cohort consists of up to 16 BIPOC scholars from diverse industries.
Scholars attend two multi-day live intensives over a twelve-month period. During these live sessions, scholars learn foundational coaching skills, mastery of coaching competencies, and how to guide transformational change through client-centered inquiry. The all-day live sessions are typically held Thursday – Saturday during the scheduled week.
The dynamic curriculum provides scholars with in-depth learning that positions them to guide transformative action plans that help people achieve their goals and immediately impact their communities.
