About HabitChange Coach Training
The HabitChange Coach Training Program is an International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited training school designed to provide expertise, real situational detail, and essential tools for new and experienced coaches. Our primary focus is providing coach training and certification for people who want to become professional coaches (life coaching and health coaching).
Our coach training program is designed for:
Leaders

Health Care organizations
Program and Certification
Mindfulness is the core of our change process. Our coaches and coaching clients are supported in developing their personal mindfulness practice and encouraged to meditate regularly to increase self-awareness.
Our philosophy is that the best coaches are always learning and growing themselves in the mind, body, spirit realms.
Our HabitChange coaches come from a variety of backgrounds but share several things in common:
-
A desire to make a difference in people’s quality of life.
-
The capacity to be fully present and listen to an individual.
-
An openness to continue their own self-growth and personal habit change.
We believe that the effectiveness of coaching is a combination of 30% coaching skills and 70% is the coach.
Accreditation and Affiliations
HabitChange Coach Training Program was accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) in January 2012 at the ACTP level. This means that our program is approved for 125+ hours of training and Certified HabitChange Coaches may apply to the ICF and receive their Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential. Once a coach has coached 500 hours, they can apply to the ICF for their Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential.
