Master Certified Positive Psychology Coach Program
Now School of Coaching Mastery offers an additional 60 live hours of advanced positive psychology coach training. Leaders in the field of positive psychology coaching will want this extra level of training and credentialing.
We are applying to the ICF for CCE and ACSTH approval for the MCPPC program which, combined with the ACSTH hours approved for the Certified Positive Psychology Coach® would provide graduates with the full training hours the ICF requires for its MCC credential.
How does it work?
NEW COACHES: If you're new to coaching, you'll want to start with the Certified Positive Psychology Coach® program. You can add the Master Certified Positive Psychology CoachTM program later, or if you know you want the master program, you can register for both at the same time and enjoy significant savings.
CURRENT MEMBERS OF CPPC: You can add the MCPPC program at anytime. You do not need to earn your CPPC before you join MCPPC, but we recommend you complete at least 50% of the CPPC program, before starting your MCPPC courses.
ADVANCED COACHES: If you have not taken the CPPC program, but want to take the MCPPC program, you will need permission. Generally, taking the advanced program will require completion of a 125-hour ICF-approved coach training program, plus a significant background in positive psychology and neuroscience.
You can still be among the first to qualify for this important new coach certification. Positive psychology is sweeping the world of coaching, personal development, and human resources departments.
This is the most advanced program that fully integrates positive psychology and neuroscience with advanced coaching skills to prepare you to be a professional positive pscyhology coach.

What is positive psychology? Positive Psychology is the study of what helps human beings flourish and, as such, it goes hand-in-hand with effective coaching. Positive psychology began to develop in the late 20th Century and was officially recognized, as an area of study, in the late 1990s, when the Father of Positive Psychology, Martin Seligman, then President of the American Psychological Association, made positive psychology the focus of his presidency. Since then, a flood of research has been done on what thoughts, tools, attitudes, behaviors, and interventions promote well-being and help people flourish.
What is positive psychology coaching? Positive psychology coaches use tools and interventions that have been identified by research into positive psychology and related fields, such as neuroscience, to help their clients achieve greater happiness, well-being, and success. They take research into positive psychology and translate it into effective tools for improving people’s lives, careers, and businesses. Read about positive psychology coaching on the Coaching Blog.
