This part of the course is required for those who would like to become an AC or ICF accredited coach.  The complete cost for accredited training, 2 post-training supervision sessions, and accreditation application support is just $1,000. Comparable ICF or AC accredited courses typically cost $2,000 and up.

Anyone can start the online, on-demand course free, then decide later if they want to do the extra work to become professionally accredited.

Start working on the course, and when the next training event dates are announced you'll be ready to enroll! To be notified, follow us on social media which is linked at the bottom of the page. Or, check the website often for new training dates.

Faith based ministries, mission orgs or businesses may want to train a group of people in LifeCare skills.

We have two options to support group trainings:

1. Use the free, online course either with or without purchasing a book set for each participant. You are more than welcome to build your own training around this content to support your group's training needs.

2. Schedule a live group training with The Forward Foundation either online, or in-person. In live group training, participants form triads where they take turns as client, coach and observer in each session, rotating through each role for each new skill learned. This gives them the opportunity to watch someone get coached,  be coached themselves, and to coach someone else and receive live feedback. 

As you will see in the testimonials at the link below, group training participants often report significant personal growth as a result of the coursework, as well as feeling more confident in their ability to help others.
