At Professional Christian Coaching Institute, you don’t have to choose between faith-based training and professional credibility. Our certification and certificate pathways integrate biblical principles with evidence-based coaching methodologies – and every course is fully accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
What this means for you:
- Earn our Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC) or Certified Professional Leadership Coach (CPLC) credential – a mark of excellence in Christian coaching.
- Complete ICF-required training hours for Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentials.
- Gain continuing coach education (CCE) units to maintain your existing ICF credential.
- Train within a supportive community of faith-driven pastors, ministry leaders, and Christian professionals.
Unlike other programs where training hours may not count toward ICF credentialing, our 330+ hours of ICF-accredited coursework ensure your investment builds toward the credentials that matter most.
