Why Coach Training Should Be Free


Free Coach Training Manifesto Logo

I never thought I'd say this, but it's time: Time for coach training to be free.

Why? Because people need coaching. It changes lives and that's why it has become one of the most marketable and employable skills of the 21st Century.

But many of the people who want to coach are unemployed and broke, so a new cottage industry has emerged: selling fake coaching credentials for a few hundred dollars, instead of the few thousand that coach training usually costs. Sometimes a tiny amount of training goes with the diploma, certification, or degree, but mostly they're just rubber stamps.

Fake credentials hurt the clients who hire the coaches and they hurt coaches who are naive enough to buy them. They also hurt the reputation of coaching. 

It's time for real coach training to be free. So coaching schools can go back to competing on merit, instead of price and the coaching world can get back to quality, evolution, growth and potential.

Today, School of Coaching Mastery starts offering our Free Coach Training Program. It's our answer to the epidemic of bogus training.

Over the coming weeks, we'll add more courses. We'll also give an exam for those who want to take it and the graduates will receive a free Coaching Certificate. Now anyone who is curious can have genuine coach training. There's no reason to buy bogus credentials.

Thank you for recognizing that finances are a big issue for some folks who would love to get quality coaching training but just don't have the means to do so at this time. 
 
Thank you for modeling the way and paying it forward! I'm eagerly anticipating the day when I can pay it back!
