Thriving Coach Academy Coach Training Program review

The program runs over 26 weeks completion weeks and carries 175 hours course hours of material. That sits above the site median of 78-hour course hours, so the calendar, not the intensity, is the hard part. If you want a shorter entry route, compare hour counts before you sign up.

The program is accredited by ICF and awards a professional coaching certificate. The qualification level is listed as Level 1 and Level 2, which shows the training is staged across levels rather than issued as a single pass. In coaching that accreditation is the first thing to check, because clients and employers read it before they read your hours.

Yes, a practicum is part of the program, so supervised client sessions sit inside the 26 weeks completion weeks instead of being left to you afterwards. In coaching that matters as much as the certificate, because those hours are what you describe when you speak to a first paying client. Ask for the practicum terms in writing before enrolling.

Tutor support is included, and job support is listed as well, so client-facing business resources come with the training rather than being sold later. Support runs on email, which means questions are answered in writing. Plan study blocks around reply times, particularly as a practicum deadline approaches, rather than expecting a same-day answer.

Delivery is online, so location is not the constraint it would be for a fixed classroom cohort. The provider is Thriving Coach Academy Inc., registered in the United States. Anyone paying from another country should check the currency on the fee and any local tax or paperwork rules for professional coaching in their own market, because those are set locally rather than by the provider.

The listed money-back period is 0 days, so there is no window to start the program and step back later. ACLS Now lists 30 days and Marisa Peer lists 14 days, both longer than this one. Budget the fee as spent on day one, and use the practicum schedule to keep the weekly load manageable.

The listed subject is business and the certificate type is coaching, so this is a single-career route rather than general business study with coaching as one extra option. It suits people who already know they want to coach. If the plan is broader business training, these hours go to a narrower goal than you may need.
