Established in Australia in 2003, The Coaching Institute was begun with the objective of providing life and leadership coach training, resources and coaching services for people throughout Australia.

Dedicated to the provision of excellence in service, advanced training and outstanding student support, The Coaching Institute is considered the market leader throughout Australia in life, leadership and executive coach training. It recognises that being a successful coach takes more than learning a model or a technique. It takes business skills training, practice, support, feedback and most importantly – demonstrations of how to conduct a coaching session. After all, how can you coach unless you hear successful life coaching in action?

The Coaching Institute training courses came about after extensive consultation with a wide range of industry professionals, including educators, coaches, NLP Trainers, business leaders and therapists. Recognising that Australia’s needs differ from that of US coaches,The Coaching Institute programs are designed with the Australian life coach in mind – which means the training is highly interactive, self-paced, and fun.

The Coaching Institute promotes its graduates and franchisees through its website, which is ranked in the top three sites in Australia and the world. This means that if you want to find a life, executive or leadership coach you can do so easily by visiting our coaches.

The Coaching Institute is a nationally Recognised Training Organisation (RTO) offering both the Certificate IV in Life Coaching (21646VIC) and the Diploma of Life Coaching (21647VIC). Students have the choice to enrol in the Certificate IV in Business, which provides additional credibility and training on how to run your coaching practice. ICF accreditation is also available through the portfolio method and will provide you with 125 hours of coach specific training - an outstanding opportunity to learn all of the foundation and advanced skills of coaching with Australasia's leading coaching school.

The Coaching Institute is the leading institute in Australia to offer the Diploma of Life Coaching.
