Professional Coach University specializes in three areas:
PCU Delivers Coaching
PCU delivers coaching to individuals, companies, and teams. A PCU-certified coach delivers professional coaching at a high level.
PCU Trains and Certifies Coaches
As an ICF Approved Coach Training Program, the Professional Coach Training Program (PCTP) is the official Coach Training Program of Professional Coach University. We currently offer four courses: Introduction to Coaching, Implementing Coaching, Leadership Coaching, and Coaching Change Management and Culture Change. Completion of all four courses satisfies the academic requirements to apply for ICF ACC certification and PCU Executive Certified Coach level.
PCU Offers Professional Development
PCU offers blog posts and podcasts to enhance your leadership. In addition, PCU offers on-demand coach training. Each on-demand training course consists of several videos. These videos are abbreviated versions of each complete 15-hour course and may be used for personal development or to train your staff and teams in coaching competencies.
