Earn university-backed executive coach certification through the University of Kansas & CEC. Triple certification includes ICF hours, academic credentials. $9,900.
Looking to launch or elevate your executive coaching career? The Center for Executive Coaching (CEC) and the University of Kansas have joined forces to offer an innovative virtual seminar that’s reshaping the landscape of executive coach certification. Here’s why this upcoming February 24-27 program is generating buzz in the coaching community.
A Game-Changing Partnership
When Stuart Day, Dean of Professional Studies at the University of Kansas, began searching for the best executive coach certification for himself, he landed on CEC.
After reviewing hundreds of hours of training materials from leading providers, he recognized CEC’s exceptional quality and became a member, earning his executive coach certification with us.
His first-hand experience was so transformative to his career that he initiated a partnership between the University of Kansas and CEC. This collaboration now brings CEC’s proven methodology to a broader audience with the backing of a prestigious academic institution.
Why This Program Stands Out
- Triple Certification Value: Unlike traditional programs that offer a single certification, participants graduate with three professional credentials:
- CEC & the University of Kansas Executive Coach Certification
- CEC Business Coach Certification
- CEC Career Coach Certification
- Accelerated ICF Pathway: The program delivers 30 of the 60 required ICF hours in just 3.5 days. The remaining hours? Complete them at your own pace through the comprehensive member portal at no additional cost. This flexibility is ideal for working professionals managing busy schedules.
- Interactive Virtual Learning That Works: Forget passive webinars. This program emphasizes hands-on practice from day one. Our philosophy at CEC is that the only way to learn to be a coach is to COACH, so all of our virtual learning puts a heavy emphasis on immediate practice and application. As Stuart Day notes, “I’m an in-person kind of guy, but this worked amazingly well. I was able to connect with people really, really well.”
- Practical Business Development Focus: The final half-day features exclusive content from the University of Kansas faculty, including specialized sessions on:
- Creating a compelling coaching persona
- Building and scaling your coaching practice
- Navigating common business pitfalls
- Accessing and leveraging CEC’s extensive resources
