Welcome to the 5.5.5. Coaching Skills Series where you’ll learn practical skills to help you advance your coaching career and work towards receiving your ICF certification. As a reminder, if you are taking this program as part of the Fast Track to ICF Credential, you will receive a graduation certificate at the very end of the last course in the series along with a badge to display that certifies you as a Coaching Out of the Box® Certified Graduate Coach.
If you are taking this course as a stand-alone program, you will receive an individual certificate two weeks after successfully completing the program. At any point, if you have any questions about certification or other programs we offer, please reach out to us for more information.
The 5.5.5 Coaching Skills Training Program™ draws from the most advanced knowledge base in the coaching field and is translated into a simple, intuitive, and highly transferable framework for busy executives and managers.
This learning experience consists of two elements:
- SKILL DEVELOPMENT – 5.5.5 Coaching Skills Training Program™
- SKILL APPLICATION – 5.5.5 Practice Lab.
We wish you much success during your learning experience with us! If you have any questions about the course, please feel free to reach out to us at any time!
