Professional Coach Certification Program
Empower. Motivate. Inspire.
Coaching is both art and science. Professional coaches understand how to communicate with clients in a way that gets real results. An effective coach guides, inspires, and empowers others to help them reach their potential.
Duquesne University’s Professional Coach Certification Program, offered by the School of Leadership and Professional Advancement, is the only university based program in Pennsylvania accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
The Professional Coach Certification Program is designed for:
- those seeking to become professional coaches in a private practice
- managers who want to enhance their innate coaching skills to fundamentally improve their organization’s talent retention and relationship with employees
- internal trainers and organizational development professionals charged with training other managers and sharing their coaching expertise
- near-retirees preparing for a rewarding career they can pursue for many years to come
- practicing coaches who want to take their certification to a higher level.
