With a life coach training course, you will learn a person-centered approach to life coaching in order to encourage others to reflect and to help them shed harmful patterns of behavior.

Life Coach (Cert.): Making life work

Life coaches advise and support people in shaping their lives in all areas of life. They support their clients (known as coachees) with issues such as satisfaction, happiness, health, self-worth, career, relationships, time and stress. They support their coachees in gaining clarity with regard to lived and unrealized desires, developing their own potential or discovering and embarking on new paths.

Life coaching has similarities with psychotherapy: both try to activate resources or identify and explore problems. But life coaches are not psychotherapists. They are a good choice for a stimulus in the desired direction for specific issues, but unlike psychotherapists (with a degree in psychology) they cannot treat mental disorders, addiction problems or depression.

In coaching sessions, life coaches respond individually to the concerns of their coachees. To do this, they give them their undivided and benevolent attention and put themselves emotionally in their situation. Using questioning techniques, one of the most important tools of coaches, they gather essential information about their coachees, encourage them to self-reflect, activate their resources and promote their creativity in order to form new ideas and find solutions.

Life coaches, often referred to as "personality coaches", are an important source of support in a world full of options for people who feel overwhelmed by the abundance of possibilities, but also by the expectations and pressure. Most schools award a certificate or diploma at the end of the training. Some of these qualifications are recognized by coaching associations, such as the Swiss Professional Association for Coaching, Organizational Consulting and Supervision (bso) or the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Life coach training is suitable for empathetic and resilient personalities with the necessary ability to set boundaries and patience who would like to accompany and support people on their journey - or are already doing so - and are now looking for an opportunity to expand and deepen their knowledge and skills.

Questions and answers

The following coaches are active as life coaches:

  • Life Coach
  • Life Balance Coach, Work-Life-Banalce-Coach
  • Life counselor
  • Personality coach, personal coach
  • Relationship coach
  • Stress coach, conflict coach
  • Mental coach, well-being coach
  • Illness coach, health coach
  • Systemic coach

The question "Which coaching training is the right one?" can be answered by defining the key data of the training:

  • Life coach certification required (bso, EASC, ECA, ICF, SCA and others)
  • Life Coach Prerequisites - What is required to attend the course and pass an exam? Would I be admitted?
  • What learning methods, teaching methods and materials are used in life coach training?
  • Which training model appeals to me and what is the size of the class?
  • What experience do the lecturers of the respective life coach courses have?
  • Do I feel comfortable there? Do I still need a personal interview or a trial lesson?

The answer to the question "Which coaching training is the best" is very individual. However, if you want to become a life coach, you should ask yourself the following questions when choosing your life coach training:

  • What is the content of the life coaching training?
  • Where is the life coaching training and how do I get there?
  • How much time does the life coach training take?
  • How much does it cost to become a life coach?
  • Will I receive a life coach certificate or diploma?
  • Are there life coach training experiences from other people who have made them publicly available via online reviews or testimonials?

The professional titles of life coach, life counselor, life coach or personality coach are not protected in Switzerland. Therefore, in contrast to other professional groups, there are hardly any legal barriers - not even a duty of confidentiality (secret, particularly sensitive personal data or personality profiles are, however, subject to the duty of confidentiality). In principle, therefore, any life coach in Switzerland can call themselves a life coach and offer a corresponding service - regardless of whether they work as a life coach without training. Legally, however, this creates a relationship of trust. Trust in life coaches is certainly greater if they have completed further life coach training or life coach training. Anyone who is aiming for a serious life coach career should therefore also learn life coaching.

Life coaching training costs different amounts depending on the structure and scope. This means that you should budget between several hundred and four thousand francs for life coach training. Depending on the course, meals and accommodation may also be included in the costs. The examination fees for the federal certificates and industry diplomas may also be incurred separately for the life coach.

In a life coach training course you learn the following about life coaching:

  • Starting work as a life coach
  • Life Coach Meaning, coaching others
  • Definition and differentiation from business coaching, psychosocial counseling, therapy, life coaching, etc.
  • Life coaching topics such as work-life balance, sensi
  • Core topics of life coaching - clarifying and shaping life plans
  • Life Coach Methods
  • Learning areas and success factors
  • Tools for life coaching
  • Behavior and attitude
  • Life mission
  • Working with the inner child
  • Energetic groundwork
  • Practice management

If you want to do life coaching, you quickly ask yourself "How can I find a life coach?". They should be good and I should be able to trust them. Competence, consulting experience, openness and structure are also important. When it comes to making trustworthy decisions in life, we usually rely on word of mouth - or, in the modern world, on online reviews. So it can make sense to look for a life coach online. The proof of a learned life coach profession is usually verifiable training, available certificates or membership in a coaching association. Check this and read customer references. Ultimately, however, only trial and error will help, because you cannot control interpersonal relationships, they have to work on their own.

 

Important prerequisites for a good life coach are

  • View of human nature and good knowledge of human nature
  • Professional and consulting experience
  • Empathy
  • Willingness to engage with your own person
  • Ability to self-reflect
  • Well-developed network

The following coaching courses are available as part of Life Coach Training Switzerland:

  • Life coach training (life coach with school diploma e.g. NGL)
  • Life coaching training with an association qualification or association diploma (e.g. Coach bso from the Swiss Professional Association for Coaching, Organizational Consulting and Supervision as a widely recognized national quality standard or ECA - Professional Association of Professional Coaches in Europe or SCA Swiss Professional Association of Professional Coaches and Company Mentors)
  • Life coach training with hybrid teaching (mix of online and face-to-face learning)
  • Life balance coach training (focus on work-life balance)
  • Life Coach Course
  • Life Coach Seminar (mostly weekend seminars)
  • Life coach training online
  • Life coach course online
  • Coaching training in conjunction with EASC certificate (European Association for Supervision and Coaching or ICF International Coach Federation - internationally recognized)
  • Further training for the federal diploma for counselors in the psychosocial field (higher professional examination for the federal diploma, the preliminary stage is usually the professional examination for company mentors with a federal certificate) or federally certified supervisor/coach
