The World Needs Academic Life Coaches

Experience the first coach training program accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) specifically designed to train coaches to work with youth to higher education students.

In today’s culture, students are overwhelmed with school loans, holding multiple jobs, heavy class loads, and pressure to participate in co-curricular activities. Add to this the pressure of knowing the future relies on their ability to succeed, and it’s easy to understand why anxiety, stress, and depression are on the rise in young people. But imagine if each student could work one-on-one with a coach committed entirely to that student’s success and well-being. This is the dream on which CTEDU was founded.

Our flagship program offers state-of-the-art curriculum and training that produces knowledgeable and supportive academic coaches who work with students regularly.

While a slight majority of our academic coaches work in college, university, and school settings, we also have a large group of alumni who have their own academic coaching practices. The beauty of our academic life coaching program is that we offer two distinct tracks: A university track and an independent practice track. Our robust curriculum and world-class trainers provide a well-rounded training program to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to operate as a successful academic coach.
