Institute courses are developed by highly qualified and experienced professionals to world recognised standards. Curriculums are developed by a professional academic committee incorporating the latest domestic and international research and developments. In this way, the Institute is able to amalgamate client needs with practitioner experience and global industry developments.
The Institute's nationally recognised training programs are the Diploma of Life Coaching (Course Code: 10663NAT) and the Certificate IV in Life Coaching (Course Code: 10662NAT). Both courses have been recognised as accredited courses by the Australian Skills Quality Authority.
Accreditation is the official government process that ensures the contents and standards of a course are appropriate to the qualification received. A 'recognised training qualification' indicates to employers and the general public that the knowledge and competencies you have acquired throughout the program are relevant and specific to the occupation of Life Coaching. Completion of a recognised training qualification is a substantial achievement signified by the awarding of a formal Qualification certificate.
Both the Certificate IV and Diploma in Life Coaching contain sufficient coach-specific training hours to enable graduates to apply for an ICF Credential through the ICF Portfolio Path.
Institute courses are designed to be extremely thorough without being difficult or complex. Both courses have more than double the educational content of life coaching courses offered by most other coaching educators. As a graduate of either course, you will have developed the skills and mastered the techniques to be highly competent and effective in this rapidly developing professional environment.
The Institute believes in the philosophy that if we are to evolve as better professionals, our education programs should also evolve to be consistent with the environment in which we live and work. By maintaining the currency and relevancy of our training programs, we guarantee the value of the service our graduates are able to offer clients and those around them. Our students and graduates are proud to say that they've studied with Australia's leading Life Coaching educator!
Many Institute students begin their Coaching studies to expand on their natural ability to support, motivate and empower others. Many have been in situations where they have been asked by friends, family or colleagues to provide support and motivation. Studying to be a professional Life Coach will help you build upon your natural qualities and develop them into a respected qualification.
As a graduate of the Institute you'll have the full support and endorsement of the Institute. Graduates of the Life Coaching Institute gain the immediate marketplace recognition and credibility they require when establishing their coaching business.
Some reasons why the Life Coaching Institute is Australia's leading coaching educator...
Innovative Training Programs
First Class Student Support Services
Institute courses are a careful blend of theory and practical application. Theory is taught through concise user friendly learning materials that have been specifically designed to maximise your learning time making your studies as enjoyable and productive as possible.
All readings, resources, and case studies have been thoroughly researched and compiled into structured workbooks that are provided as part of your course via the Life Coaching Institutes' online learning portal, My.LCI.
The theoretical component for some Units is supplemented by a two-hour TeleClass. TeleClasses are an essential component of the learning process and aid the important transition from theory to application. During a TeleClass, you will participate in an interactive group coaching and teaching environment. You can attend a TeleClass for each Unit any time after the Unit's workbook has been successfully completed. TeleClasses are scheduled regularly and include discussion of concepts and their application in a coaching environment, demonstration of skills, and practice of skill application. All TeleClasses are facilitated by an Institute Master Coach.
Practical components of the course are completed through interactive hands-on sessions that can be completed by a number of flexible means. You can either participate in small group sessions called 'Skill Assessment Workshops', work one on one with a Master Coach and apply your skills under their supervision, or video tape your practical skills and have our team of professional coaches review it for you. Each practical option is designed to be flexible in its delivery to maximise accessibility and educational value.
The Certificate IV in Life Coaching is the most popular coaching qualification in the country. It has 9 units, 3 practical assessments, and 4 Tele-Classes. It's the ideal entry level qualification into the coaching industry.

The Institute is proud to set the benchmark for service and support in Coaching Education. We have set ourselves the goal: "To provide the highest standard in coaching education and support services in the industry".
Our programs are professionally developed to ensure that upon completion you have the confidence, skills and knowledge to be a highly effective and respected Life Coach. We understand though that fitting study into a busy lifestyle can be challenging. That's why we've developed a unique, completely flexible approach to Life Coaching education. We call it 'Flex Learning'.
Flex Learning is a methodology for the way in which we've developed and deliver the Certificate IV and the Diploma of Life Coaching. Flex Learning puts you in control over when, where and how quickly you learn. With Flex Learning you are able to structure your preferred study methods around the many flexible delivery options that are available to you.
For instance, if you want to study full time you can choose to increase your practical contact time and fast track your studies to graduate sooner. Or perhaps like the majority of students you are working full or part time, and would prefer to integrate your studies around other important responsibilities. Well, Flex Learning gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to self pace through your studies, integrating face to face practical content together with external support such as evening TeleClasses and an interactive student network.
Flex Learning allows you to complete your accredited Life Coaching course in the time frame that suits you - and with the study and support structure that best meets your learning and lifestyle needs.
Through Flex Learning the Institute ensures your coaching education is the very best possible. Providing you with the Best Education, The Best Support and The Best Opportunities for the Future. Please continue reading to understand how working with our team of professionals will ensure you make the most of this exciting and truly rewarding profession.

Your learning resources are professionally presented in a workbook format that includes all the resources, readings, worksheets, assessments and materials you will require to complete your course.
You'll discover how easy the material is to follow as you progress through the assessments, each of which is referenced directly to the appropriate material in the workbook.

There is no additional cost for text books or other resource material.
Your own on-call Mentor
You have access to Coaching Advisers by phone and email for immediate study assistance. The Toll Free 1300 Study Assistance Hotline gives you direct access a Coaching Adviser who will answer questions about assessment topics, clarify any concepts or information from your workbooks or readings, and provide personal coaching on completing your assessment. Coaching Advisers are available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm (EST) to ensure you understand the learning material and are able to apply your knowledge to the activities and case studies you work through.
Practical Group Coaching TeleClasses
The theoretical component of each Unit is supplemented by a two-hour TeleClass. TeleClasses aid the important transition from theory to application. During a TeleClass, you will be part of an interactive group coaching and teaching environment. You can attend the TeleClass for each Unit at any time after the Unit's workbook has been successfully completed.
TeleClasses include discussion of concepts and their application in a coaching environment, demonstration of skills, and practice of skill application. All TeleClasses are facilitated by an Institute Master Coach
Live Practical Skill Development Sessions
When you are ready, and have completed the relevant written units, you have the opportunity to put your coaching skills to the test at the Skill Assessment Workshops. This is where you demonstrate to an accredited Life Coach that you have an understanding of the knowledge and skills needed to be a competent Coach. In this supportive environment your assessor will work with you one on one to help perfect your skills, providing you with feedback and opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge and experience.
A highly experienced Education and Support Team
Each member of the Institute's Academic Support Team meet comprehensive education and experiential standards. They have tertiary qualifications in an appropriate discipline and years of industry experience and are required to undergo relevant ongoing training and professional development. Each team member is an experienced Life Coach and is able to provide you with a higher level of insight and understanding behind the course content.
We believe we are the only Life Coaching educator in Australia to impose such comprehensive Human Resource Standards on our education team. We do this to ensure that the information and support you receive as a student is of the highest quality.
Student Networking
If you would like to meet other students in your local area to network and study with, the Institute keeps a register of students that have expressed a desire to be a part of the student network program. This gives you the chance to set up a study partnership with another student, or group of students, to learn from and support each other throughout your studies. Inclusion in the student network is optional and is coordinated through your local Student Fulfilment Centre. Please note that student details are not released unless we have the student's prior authority to do so.
