Life Coach Certification and Temperament Training

Become part of a fast growing helping profession . . . Life Coaching!

Literally millions of people, who do not need counseling or therapy, hire coaches to help them gain clarity, navigate transition, find their purpose, and achieve their goals.  These are people who are “in healh” in the realm of their spiritual and soul life (cf. 3 John 1:2). 

An unprecedented number of clergy as well as other professionals and leaders, around the world, are adding coaching to their skills, credentials, professional services, and ministries.

People hire professional life coaches for many different reasons. Many find that a therapeutic coaching relationship makes Christian Life Coaching even more effective. 

Our program begins with a course called Creation Therapy and you may elect to sign for up to 3-Hours of Academic Supervision under the direction of our N.C.C.A. Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor and Board Certified Clinical Supervisor. 

Don’t make the mistake of coaching someone who needs counseling.  Our Creation Therapy with Academic Supervision course option is highly recommended.  It will prepare you to provide brief temperament counseling to your clients who may need it prior to moving forward with coaching.   Let’s have a conversation before you sign up. 

While life coaching is not currently regulated by the government, Christian Life Coaching carries a tremendous responsibility to be well trained and equipped. Our program is designed to equip and credential you to use a therapeutic temperament counseling and professional life coaching model.

As a life coach, you can enjoy the freedom of getting out of the office and working with clients in any setting you choose. Not only that, but the credentials you earn will also provide the opportunity to form groups and use technology to increase the reach of your ministry or practice.

We recommend this certification training for new and experienced coaches. The program will complement whatever services you choose to offer. This training program provides a great foundation of Biblical principles and approaches to becoming more effective in your work.

The SCMi Institute has the privilege of offering this program in partnership with Sarasota Academy of Christian Counseling (SACC).  The entire study is based on the Arno Profile System (APS) and the many different applications of this tool from personal life coaching, marriage coaching, youth coaching, leadership and executive coaching to business coaching, entrepreneur coaching, human resources training and development, consulting, and more.
