Personal connection between facilitators and students is an important component to grow your self-trust as a coach. Thus, there will be no more than 30 students in our training. The personal knowledge and affinity for one another ensures a safe learning environment and offers community.

Graduates are invited to stay connected in a larger circle.

Nope! This workshop is beginner-friendly. Whether you're new to coaching or already supporting others in your work, you'll find tools and insights you can use right away.

Not at all. Needs-Based Coaching is about supporting others through conversation, not diagnosing or treating. It’s a great complement to therapeutic or social work, but it’s not therapy.

Coaches partner with their clients and will not present as experts, as we believe the client is the one who knows the answers.

Coaches see their clients as whole and resourceful, moving towards greater expression of their wholeness. Traditionally, psychotherapists see their clients as broken and needing repair.

Some of the processes you’ll learn are also used by psychotherapists. It’s not the process but the approach that differentiates coaching from psychotherapy.

Every session will be recorded and made available 24 hours after classes.

To maintain our trustworthiness as coach training institute, we ask students who missed sessions to do a simple home assignment after each class to document they’ve watched the recordings.

Yes! You’ll receive a certificate of participation at the end of the workshop, and your training can count toward the portfolio pathway of ACC accreditation as well as certification with the Center for Nonviolent Communication.

You’re welcome exactly as you are. The space is designed to be safe, respectful, and supportive. You’ll never be forced to share more than you’re comfortable with.

Absolutely. The tools and mindset you’ll learn are practical and ready to use—in conversations with clients, colleagues, or even family.

This question depends on where you live. In some countries, Coach is a protected title, and you need to go through an official accreditation process to call yourself a coach. In other countries, there are no requirements.

After completion of Needs-Based Coaching, we recommend applying for accreditation with the world’s leading coach association, The International Coach Federation (ICF) as this is an internationally approved hallmark of quality.

There are various ways to get accredited with ICF. One of them, the portfolio pathway, works the way that applicants need 60 hours of coach specific training which must be documented thoroughly. Needs-Based Coaching live up to the standard of ‘coach specific training’, and we provide the documentation. There are additional requirements for accreditation; 100 logged coaching hours, 10 mentoring hours, an approved session transcript, and an exam. This counts for the other paths to accreditation as well.
we offer an ICF preparation package once a year to get you ready for it.
