Become a Certified Christian Life Coach

The home study certification courses are self-paced, giving you full flexibility. Since the home study option does not have a start or end date, completion time depends entirely on your personal discipline and schedule. Some students move through the material in just a few weeks, while others take several months to fully absorb and apply the lessons. The goal is progress, not pressure. Go at the pace that allows you to learn, grow, and let the Holy Spirit lead you through the process.

Yes. HIScoach Training Academy is accredited by the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Certification Service, which supports professionals in enhancing their skills and proficiency throughout their careers. This accreditation aligns with our mission to provide biblically grounded, high-quality training that equips faith-based coaches to serve with excellence both personally and professionally. As Scripture reminds us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” — James 1:5, ESV “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” — Hebrews 4:12, ESV Let’s be clear — our ultimate standard comes from God’s Word. We believe the highest levels of ethics, honesty, and integrity flow from biblical principles. That’s why we encourage every student to prayerfully consider: Where will you be using your coaching skills? Who are you called to serve? What standards, principles, and worldview will guide your practice? We strongly encourage prayer before making any decision about training so that your learning aligns with God’s vision for your life and calling.

Yes, absolutely. We understand that learning needs and preferences can change as you grow. If you begin with the Home Study (Self-Paced) Program and later decide you’d benefit from the community and interaction of a Virtual or Onsite Program, you can easily upgrade. All we ask is that you pay the difference between the two program options. For example, if you complete the Home Study Program in eight weeks and then choose to join a live group experience, you would simply pay the difference between the Home Study tuition and the Virtual or Onsite tuition. This flexibility allows you to learn at your own pace while still having the option to connect, engage, and grow with others when the time feels right.

No, we are not affiliated with any specific denomination. The HIScoach Training Academy is a Christ-centered institution built on biblical truth and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Our mission is to equip Christian believers from all walks of life—regardless of church background or denomination—to serve, support, and coach others through the lens of God’s Word. We believe that what unites us is far greater than what separates us. Our focus is on developing (or rather, building) a community of Holy Spirit-led coaches who are committed to glorifying God, walking in love, and helping others grow in faith and purpose. At the heart of our academy is one foundation: Jesus Christ. We exist to help believers live out their calling with excellence, integrity, and compassion—reflecting His heart in all that they do.
