If your aim is to differentiate yourself as a coach, Signature will help you achieve it.
Led by 20+ expert instructors from diverse backgrounds, the program is delivered via LIVE weekly training sessions online, plus regular opportunities to connect with the Lumia team to answer your questions on all things coaching.
Our outside-the-box approach has helped over 2,500 adventurous coaches launch thriving practices, and focuses on 7 key steps:
Everything Included in Essentials
AND
Upon completion of the Essentials program, you’ll embark on the second phase of your journey toward coaching mastery. In Signature, you’ll receive 16 weeks of further live instruction, with the addition of coaching observation and feedback, mentoring from PCC-level credentialed coaches, and preparation to apply for your coaching credential from the International Coaching Federation.
Get on the fast track to your future career as a coach and earn your certification in half the time. Schedule a no-obligation conversation with a member of our admissions team to learn more about the Expedited Program and our flexible financing options.
Can't decide? You can enroll in Essentials as your first step, and add on Signature at any time for $5,495. If you bundle them together at the start of your training, you’ll save $1,000.
We offer advanced training because we’ve seen how this curriculum opens doors, provides deeper insights, and boosts the confidence of our graduates.
The Signature experience provides you with more opportunities for hands-on practice to hone and refine your coaching skills. Throughout the program, you’ll receive personal feedback from ICF credentialed instructors - an added benefit that is not included in Essentials.
As a Signature student, you’ll drill deeper into the ICF core competencies, with an opportunity to translate those theories into practice in every class. You’ll get the chance to observe and practice coaching in the classroom each week, and will also submit several recordings of your client coaching sessions for instructor feedback. Along the way, you’ll log an additional 25 hours of coaching experience to further build your skills and confidence as a coach.
While ICF credentials may not be necessary for your path as a coach right now, it’s something you may decide to pursue down the road. In our experience, there are four major reasons people choose to pursue this path. They include:
Whether or not you ultimately choose to pursue an ICF credential, you’ll come away from Signature with increased confidence, more insights into the tools and techniques of coaching, and a better understanding of your unique style and impact as a coach.
In our experience, this is a head + heart decision. There are a lot of great coach training programs out there, so the trick is to figure out which one you vibe with on all levels: Intellectual, Vision & Values, Community, and Return on Investment.
So what sets Lumia apart?
1. Evidence-Based, Accessible Education
Our coach training program is rooted in Positive Psychology & Appreciative Inquiry. We make learning accessible and informative through a curriculum that’s delivered entirely online. Don’t expect canned recorded lectures though - our combination of live weekly classes, small group cohort learning, personalized mentoring, and guided practice coaching sessions will keep you fully engaged from start to finish.
2. Diverse Expertise
Coaching doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to life, and neither do you. Rather than having just one or two teachers, we’ve curated a world class group of more than 20 expert instructors. Together, our team represents 25 academic disciplines, with skills that translate across education, law, nonprofit, technology, consumer goods, and corporate sectors. Most are ICF Credentialed, and all of them are experts in their field of knowledge. Our instructors will dare you to think outside the box and embrace your own unique approach to the craft of coaching.
3. Community
Support extends far beyond your training, as it takes time to build a great practice. You’ll experience the momentum and joy of an encouraging community of more than 2,500 other coaches to ask questions and get inspiration as you launch. Lumia’s been around for more than a decade and our team brings thousands of coaching hours, expertise and valuable insight – all to help you become the kind of coach you want to be.
But don’t just take our word for it! Find out what Lumia graduates are saying in these Case Studies.
