Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a typical life coach earn?

Professional, full-time life coaches typically earn between $100 to $250 a coaching session. Coaches who are just starting, or who want to coach on the side after earning an associate certification, usually start between $25 to $50 an hour.

The average annual earnings of coaches after three to five years ranges from $65,000 to $125,000.

What are the job options for a certified academic life coach?

The past few years has seen the growing trend of more universities and colleges hiring advisors specifically to coach students. Those positions usually earn between $45,000 and $55,000. These kinds of job options are becoming more and more common. 

Other organizations often hire community support specialists or coaches to work within wellness fields.

What is the future forecast for the coaching industry’s growth or decline?

With the value and importance of mental health increasing, life coaching has also seen a massive increase in awareness and demand. The fundamentals of the profession are strong and the growth in the past few years seems to be accelerating.

How soon can I start making money as a coach?

Like any independent business, establishing your own practice as a coach can be challenging. It requires not only gaining the skill sets to deliver outstanding coaching but being able to successfully market and run the administration of a small business. Most coaches start slowing, gaining a handful of clients while also working another job. It usually takes at least a year for coaches to start to build a practice of 10 to 20 clients. 

However, the courses are built for you to start to market your practice after a month of two of the training. 

How much does it cost to get trained and certified as a coach?

Each tuition package includes training and certification as a CTEDU certified coach. The cost of getting certified through the ICF ranges from $100 to $500 depending on the training path and ICF membership.

What are the payment options for financing my ALC training?

CTEDU offers two payment options for each tuition package regardless of program length. The first is a 10% discount for all paid-in-full tuition packages. The second, a 12-month payment plan.

What type of course materials are included in the program?

Access to the electronic versions of all the textbooks and handouts as well as hardcopies of the CTEDU textbooks.

To what degree are the prices on your website fully inclusive of what is necessary to receive a certification?

Everything from your training, coaching overviews (10 required hours for ICF certification), hard copies of the textbooks, and certification is included in each of the tuition packages.

Is there support after I graduate for helping students start their business?

Yes, CTEDU offers ongoing workshops and monthly meet ups for alumni to stay connected to the community, ask questions, and continue to receive support, ideas, and inspiration to keep moving forward.

Do you offer continuing education?

Each of the advanced courses are available to alumni and count toward continuing education.
