TWO TOP RANKED SCHOOLS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY JOIN FORCES to offer a Coaching Certification Program and Center for Coaching Excellence. This collaboration is a natural extension of a long and productive relationship between Columbia's Executive Education Division, Columbia Business School and The Center for Educational Outreach and Innovation, Teachers College.

Program Structure

This Certification Program is designed for those interested in developing the competencies needed to deliver coaching services in organizations, where the focus is on building high-performance cultures that leverage human talent and generate results. Recognizing the learning needs are different for external coaches and those coaches working inside of organizations, a choice of customized programs for internal and external coaches is offered.

The certification program requires the completion of two 5-Day intensives:

A choice of either the External Coach Intensive (ECI), which focuses on the unique demands of external coaches, or the Internal Coach Intensive (ICI) for those working inside of organizations.

Upon completion of the ECI or the ICI, participants receive a Certificate of Completion and can apply for the Coaching Certification Program, which requires completion of the Practicum and the ACI.

There is a required Practicum, which delivers field experience in applying coaching practices and tools, and provides structured online peer coaching labs, work with a mentor coach, and individual coaching experience.

The Advanced Coach Intensive (ACI), which explores coaching strategies and tactics for building leadership capabilities while enhancing organizational performance.

Who should attend?

Professional external coaches desiring coach certification with an executive coaching focus. Internal coaches, managers and leaders, who want to enhance their capacity to develop people to their full potential. Human Resources, Organizational Development and Learning professionals committed to developing talent in organizations. Anyone wanting to gain new insights into business related coaching including coaching for enhanced business performance. Why enroll?
