About Life Coach Training

Life Coach Training exists to give aspiring coaches the clear, honest information they need to make smart decisions about their coaching careers. No hype, no upsells disguised as advice — just practical guidance backed by data from the ICF, BLS, and other authoritative sources.

The coaching industry is growing fast — $5.34 billion in global revenue and 122,974 practitioners as of 2025. But growth brings noise. There are hundreds of training programs, certifications, and self-proclaimed experts all competing for your attention and money. We cut through that noise.

Certification guides. Side-by-side comparisons of ICF, NBHWC, CCE, and CPD-accredited credentials — what each costs, requires, and gets you.

Specialization deep-dives. Detailed guides for 16 coaching niches, from executive coaching to ADHD coaching, with real income data and training paths.

Salary and career data. Honest income expectations based on ICF survey data — not inflated marketing numbers.

Business guidance. Practical advice on pricing, marketing, finding clients, and scaling your coaching practice.

State-by-state resources. Training programs, market conditions, and business requirements for coaches in every state.

Every statistic on this site traces to a primary source — the ICF Global Coaching Study, Bureau of Labor Statistics, credentialing body websites, or other authoritative references. We don't make up numbers, and we don't present marketing claims as facts.

When we discuss income potential, we present ranges and averages, not cherry-picked success stories. When we compare certifications, we include costs and limitations alongside benefits. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, not to convince you to buy something.

Life Coach Training is supported by affiliate partnerships with coaching training programs and education providers. When you click certain links and enroll, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

These partnerships never influence our editorial content, rankings, or recommendations. We recommend programs based on accreditation, quality, and value — not commission rates. For full details, see our advertising disclosure.
