Master Business Coach
Certification Program

Master Business Coach Program

The Global IOC Master Business Coach program was developed for the advanced coach to align past work and life experiences with a deepening understanding of the theoretical, strategic and tactical concepts and principles relative to coaching.  A deep and full exploration of current approaches to coaching, methodologies and theories underpinning business coaching, and exploration of the literature from related disciplines along with research from coaching forms the foundation of this designation.

The Global IOC Master Business Coach program will include but not limited to the following topics: integration of coaching theories into a personal guiding framework, neuroscience for the discerning coach, driving and executing high performance through coaching processes, developing a framework for leadership and organizational excellence, mapping personal practice to WABC Competencies, Supervision and integrating research into practice.  Throughout the program, master seminars will be offered to enrich and expand upon learning with specific application to the organizational context.  As critical engagement with, and the design of, research is a hallmark of this level prospective candidates will be required to submit a project demonstrating the integration of research into practice.  Candidates may choose to complete the second half of the program as a master’s student at the University of Wales Trinity St. David, which upon meeting all requirements of that program, students will receive a MA in Professional Practice in Coaching.  The program will take between 18 and 24 months to complete depending upon the time a candidate has available to dedicate to the program.
