Inspire Empowerment & Growth as a Life Coach

Life Coach Training

At Life Purpose Institute, our Life Coach Certification Program equips you with the skills, tools, and confidence to work with clients and create meaningful, lasting change. You’ll learn a complete, step-by-step coaching method along with specialized techniques for guiding people through life transitions, overcoming obstacles, and achieving their goals.
 

For more than 40 years, we’ve been training over 9,000 life coaches worldwide, combining comprehensive training, affordable tuition, and a personal, caring approach—all taught by instructors who have built successful coaching practices themselves.
 

Our program is also accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which means your training hours meet the highest professional standards in the coaching industry and count toward globally recognized credentials. While many students pursue certification with the ICF, others use our program’s proven methods to launch their practice directly after graduation.
 

Whether your goal is to start your own coaching business, integrate coaching into your current career, or simply make a bigger impact in the lives of others, we provide the guidance, resources, and support to help you succeed.

Our Approach to Life Coaching

At Life Purpose Institute, our Life Coach Certification Program is built on a holistic approach, training you to work with the whole person and guide clients toward meaningful, lasting change in every area of life.

Our method is the result of decades of hands-on coaching experience and draws from the best practices in psychology, career counseling, neuroscience, NLP, life coaching, and the personal growth field. Over the years, we’ve continued to refine and expand the program by incorporating proven techniques from experienced trainers, industry leaders, and successful graduates.

Every tool in our curriculum has been tested in real coaching sessions and is known to create breakthroughs and sustainable transformation.
 

We provide a robust set of tools so you can:

  • Go beyond basic training and address multiple client needs with confidence

  • Bring engaging, results-driven resources to every coaching session

  • Develop an advanced skill set to consistently achieve powerful results for your clients
     

​

At Life Purpose Institute, we believe your life coach certification should be personal, supportive, and empowering, not just information in a manual. From your first conversation with our team to long after you graduate, you’ll receive the guidance and resources you need to succeed as both a coach and a business owner.

Our small class sizes mean you’ll get individualized attention, personalized feedback from your instructor, and a warm, supportive learning environment. You’ll leave feeling confident, capable, and ready to coach.

Personalized Training and Marketing Support

Authentic Marketing, Tailored to You

Marketing should feel genuine and play to your natural strengths. We help you choose strategies that fit your style, time, and transition plan, whether you’re moving into coaching part-time or full-time. Options include offering complimentary sessions, speaking and workshops, social media, writing articles/blog posts, networking and referral partnerships, and more. Your instructor will guide you toward the approaches that are realistic for you and most likely to get results.

We also know that mastering the art of coaching is only half the journey, building a thriving life coaching practice matters too.

That’s why your training includes:
 

  • A private session with our marketing coach to help you create a plan for starting your business.

  • Free alumni classes to keep your skills and business strategies sharp

  • Private Facebook alumni community for networking, encouragement, and resource sharing
