ICF accreditation training
Mentor coaching
Access mentorship from our faculty members through live sessions to improve on your coaching practice.
Coaching by:

Coaching experience
Accumulate relevant hours of coaching experience through coaching others, as individuals or in groups. We support this effort by providing the cohort as a platform resource for peer coaching, and hosting the business development groups for alumni.
ICF credentialing exam
In your ICF credential application, you will be required to upload your Bailey Balfour coach training certificate and confirm you have acquired the relevant hours of coaching experience.
