Become a Certified Professional Coach in a Live, In-Person Training Experience
Two Immersive Days. Real Coaching Practice. Skills You Can Use to Change Lives.
Some things are best learned by doing, together.
There's something powerful about learning coaching in a room full of people who share your desire to make a difference.
Experience the coaching process firsthand, practice with fellow students, receive immediate feedback, and develop meaningful connections as you prepare for your new career.
At Wainwright Global, we believe professional coaching is a skill you develop through practice, not simply information you memorize.
That's why our Live In-Person Certified Professional Coach (CPC®) training is designed to be interactive, practical, and personally engaging.

You'll have opportunities to participate, ask questions, and experience coaching from both sides of the conversation.
Because confidence grows when knowledge becomes experience.
