Our Brain-Based Coaching programs are designed to help you achieve an internationally recognized coaching credential to enable your success as a professional coach. 

ICF Certified

We have partnered with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which is the world's largest organization of professional coaches, to formally accredit our BBCC Brain-Based Coaching Certificate® as a Level 1 program.

After our training there are just a few additional steps required to achieve the Associate Certified Coach credential:
