Homework varies but we recommend that you set aside two to three hours per week outside of class time during the training.

All our classes are recorded and uploaded to your online learning site within 48 hours. You must attend a minimum number of deep practice and mentoring sessions to qualify for certification. However, that does not mean that missing a few classes is problematic.

We will request that you provide time-stamped transcripts of your recorded sessions submitted during the program. Other than these and the required reading listed below, you are not required to purchase anything else during the training or for your WMCT certification process. Please note that there are fees charged by the ICF if you choose to be credentialed through them. Details can be found on the ICF website.

Required reading:

  • The Way of Integrity, Martha Beck

We do not offer refunds for Wayfinder Master Coach Training. There are only a limited number of spots available, and a great deal of time and consideration goes into the selection process. By submitting an application, you are committing yourself to the program should you be selected.

You will be asked to read Martha’s book, The Way of Integrity, prior to the first class.

If you have not already done so, please read Finding Your Own North Star and Martha’s other books that are required reading within WLCT.

At this time, English is the only language used to deliver the training and the online training materials. You are welcome to coach in any language you choose! However, all recorded coaching sessions and transcripts submitted for evaluation and certification must be in English.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the most globally-recognized independent credentialing program for coach practitioners. It also accredits programs that deliver coach-specific training.

The Wayfinder Master Coach Training is a 168-hour ICF Level 2 accredited coach training program.

What does this mean for you? You will be taking part in a world-class training, and this program’s Level 2 accreditation will give you the ability to pursue the ICF credential with more ease if you wish.

Anyone who successfully completes our 168-hour training will have the coach training, mentoring hours, and evaluation that they need to apply for credentialing by the ICF at the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level.

Professionals with coaching skills are increasingly sought after in the business and non-profit sectors. Becoming an ICF credentialed coach can open up opportunities in areas like leadership development, executive coaching, professional development, and team-building. In some sectors, your ICF credential can be a requirement for hiring, similar to how a CPA (certified public accountant) is treated in an accounting firm.

Not quite! Becoming a Certified Wayfinder Master Coach means you will have the coach training, mentoring hours, and evaluation that you need to successfully apply for credentialing by the ICF at the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level. To learn more about earning an ICF credential visit the ICF website.
