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 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?

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 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.
