Coach U is a leading global provider of coach training programs. We offer programs that meet academic requirements for becoming an Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

In 2019 Coach U, Inc and COACH A Co., Ltd., one of Coach U's first global licensees in Japan, have now formed a partnership and are now engaging in even more expanded offerings of training and development in multiple contexts.

Our History

Coach U was founded in the USA in 1992 and added corporate services via in 1996.  Our programs are comprehensive, and filled with tools, skills and resources you can use in all areas of coaching, no-matter what type of coach you wish to become.  Coach U was in the first group of organizations accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for approved Coach Training. 

Each year hundreds more people from all walks of life take one of the in-person coach training programs offered around the world, and many more start one of the core or advanced international distance learning coach training programs.

Since 1992, Coach U has offered the most comprehensive coach training programs with 100% of faculty members that are professionally trained, experienced, ICF certified coaches at the PCC or MCC level. You will learn to coach, build your coaching practice, integrate coaching skills into your current life or work, and develop a strong personal foundation.  Participants choose to start their coach training with Phase 1:  Core Essentials™ or Core Essentials Fast Track™, and then step directly into Phase 2: Coach U’s Professional Essentials (both together are our full accredited program training hours).
