Life Coaching Courses?

[Lifes2short]

Hi there,

I've been looking around at different Life Coaching Courses online, they all sound good, the people I speak to are really nice, but I can't help but wonder which one of these schools are actually legitimate or recognised. Can anybody tell me how I can determine authenticity, and how can I avoid being scammed??

There is an organization for professional coaches. It's called the ICF. It accredits schools. So at the very least make sure the program is ICF accredited and gives you one of their degrees/certificates upon completion.

The two programs I know of that are good are:

• IPEC << I did this one
• CTI

But I'm sure there are many others. Do some googling.

@Leo Gura Leo, do you think that for a start an DFC (German Coaching Association) will be a good first step, or should I just save up right away for IPEC? I thought about having both for maximum potential. I'm from germany and the DFC certification is way cheaper tha n IPEC, so I feel like I should do that first. Or should I?
