Coaching from a Christian Perspective

​

30-hour CCE Approved Distance Learning Training for BCC Credentialing

​

​

The 30-hour Coaching from a Christian Perspective training is designed for applicants who hold a qualifying graduate degree and are seeking to fulfill requirements for the Board Certified Coach (BCC) credential through the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE) (see requirements at http://www.cce-global.org/Credentialing/BCC/Requirements). 

 

The training program emphasizes the foundations, skills, strategies, professional practice standards, and potential assessments needed for professional coaches working from a Christian perspective with individuals, businesses and organizations. Students will also have the opportunity to explore an area of personal interest for more in-depth focus for one assignment from the following coaching areas: Relationship and Marital Coaching or Career Coaching. 

 

To provide students with core coaching competencies, techniques, and professional and ethical practice standards, the Coaching from a Christian Perspective 30-hour training program is divided into two 15-hour sessions:

 

1. Christian Coaching Foundations (15 hours)

2. Christian Coaching Applications (15 hours)

 

Students pursuing this path to BCC credentialing must complete both of the 15-hour training sessions. Each session is designed to be completed over a three-week period. The sessions may be taken consecutively or simultaneously.

 

• CCE Required Endorsements: Upon successful completion of the course, we will be happy to assist BCC Applicants with CCE required professional endorsements.

​​

• CCE Required Verification of Experience: For BCC Applicants needing verification of professional coaching experience, a coaching verification package including up to three verification sessions is available at a reduced price for applicants who have completed our approved BCC training program.
