Christian / Biblical Life Coach Training & Certification, Become A Christian Life Coach! www.pccca.org Professional Coaching Career Courses

PCCCA's coaching programs are life transforming, both professionally and personally ... If you would like to help
others to get more out of their life, as well as significantly improve your own life in all areas, Christian life coaching
may be for you.

Life coaching is a fulfilling profession with great pay and you can work as much or as little as you want. You don't
have to put your current job, family or ministry duties on hold while you train. Why not become a Christian Life
Coach?

As a life coach, you help your clients find their purpose and God-given vision, then partner with them to achieve
their goals. As a result, they feel great and you feel fulfilled by living your calling to help others. Very little could be
more rewarding to you personally.

Usually your clients are smart, talented individuals, who perhaps lack self-awareness, focus or motivation to live an
optimized life. They may not have the support they need to get to the next level. You provide that support.

Often, your clients know what they want but just need you to confirm or validate their goals, so they feel secure in
going after it. Even change for the better is scary to a lot of people. With you to encourage, exhort and validate their
quest, you become their partner in success.

Time management issues and stress are other issues faced by our clients. They need the skills and strategies you will
be able to offer as a trained Christian Life Coach, to help them to achieve balance and improve their lives.

And so, armed with your bible-based strategies and skills, you will inspire them to change their lives for the better.
You will witness God's grace at work each day as your clients share their progress with you.

PCCCA training will make you a "complete" Christian Life Coach.

In the process of learning to help others, you will begin to maximize your own potential. It is our belief that before
you can effectively help others, you need to be living what you learn. You will be so excited about your own
potential, that you will use these techniques yourself. You will feel confident and excited about presenting your skills
to others, so they too can benefit. Your client list will grow and grow!

At PCCCA we define complete coaches as those who are living an excellent life and are prepared to help others do
the same. This is what will happen for you when you graduate from this program. Our course will train you to work
with Christians and non-Christians. Perhaps your goal is a coaching ministryl, church work or private coaching
practice or business. Since PCCCA training is personalized for you by yout Master coach / trainer, we address each
one and help you hone in on your preferred specialty. Even if you decide not to work at life coaching, you will
improve your own life in countless ways. There simply are no dollars and cents to value the improvement in one's
quality of life... it is priceless!

Differences between Christian / Biblical Coaching Programs and Secular

There are many differences but primary is the underlying foundation. Secular coaching is humanistic and relies on the
client's self-imposed goals. Christian coaching is Christ-centered. Within Christian coaching, there is a three-way
relationship between client, coach and Holy Spirit. Secular coaching involves a two-way relationship between coach
and client. Many Christian coaches have found it frustrating to work with secular programs and secularly accredited
Christian programs because of the high infiltration of new age philosophies. You won't find that here at PCCCA. The
bible distinctly tells us to seek only the counsel of other Christians. It is important to note though, that while PCCCA
offers Christian Coach training and certification, the techniques learned are also applicable with secular clients. So
the training you choose, should be more about who you are, than who your clients may one day be. Seek Him first
and God will lead those to you, who need what you have to offer. (Matt 6:33 )

This is a comprehensive course. (Download the syllabus.)

You will learn everything about Christian Life Coaching, from what God expects of you personally, to indepth
bible-based coaching, to strategies and Bible-truths you can implement with your own clients. We teach you about
marketing, branding and the uncompromised truth about coaching niches. You will learn how to market your services
to others in a simple and non-threatening way and begin to implement what you learn. We make promoting your
practice easy and comfortable for you. The best part is that you don't have to share your instructor with others
during your weekly, one-to-one training sessions.

Please Read Our Mission Statement.

One-to-One Student / Instructor Ratio!

You will be paired with your own instructor, who you will work with for 50 minutes each week via the telephone. You
will work through your manual materials at a comfortable pace and have homework assignments that will require
anywhere from 4 to 10 hours per week. You will have the opportunity to coach others in your semi-supervised
practicum, so that you can learn by doing. Those you coach will have the benefit of your skills and your instructor's
professional coaching skills (as a backup in case you ever feel uncertain.) Once you graduate from the course, you
will have on-going support from us to help you build your practice. (Also Read our President's Message - click

Marketing Expertise - a critical component

It is no secret that many coaching schools graduate students with inadequate or outdated marketing skills, or without
in-depth knowledge of how to market their services. We employ special "Spirit-led Marketing" techniques that are
only offered through PCCCA, to help you share the services you offer. Let's face it, no matter how sensational your
skills are, if others don't know how to find you, you won't be able to help very many people.

We are experts at internet and local marketing. You will receive the full range of knowledge you need in this area. And
we go even a step further by offering you specific marketing opportunities within our network of services, in addition
to what you personally do. PCCCA training gives you a huge advantage in the marketplace.

What makes Christian Life Coaches special and different?

While most secular coach training teaches you to not convey your own values during your sessions with clients,
Christian Life Coaches are free and what's more, encouraged to speak the truth of God's word, and how it applies to
their client's life. You don't have to be a Bible scholar or enter the program with theological schooling. Our training
gives you all of the resources you need, in the manual and textbook you receive, so that you are equipped with
references to support your coaching clients and have all you need to help others achieve an abundant life.

Coaching and counseling are biblical. The bible time and again tells us to seek only the counsel of other Christians.

Why people often prefer coaching over therapy

Until a few years ago, the only option someone with problems had, was to enter therapy. Yet unless healing is
needed, counseling or therapy may not be the best alternative. And, if someone is in therapy, it implies something is
wrong with them. Yet for many it is only their circumstance that need improving. Most people don't want to admit
they have problems in their life. Life coaching on the other hand, does not carry this stigma.
Life coaching involves partnering with a trained coach, being held accountable, moving forward, taking action and
accountability. People receive results much faster when they learn to act on their own behalf, rather than if they
spend countless hours re-hashing the past on a therapists couch.
Having a coach is something people share and are proud of. Having a coach implies that person is already somewhat
successful. As you are aware, all high achievers, top athletes and executives have coaches to help them get to their
next big thing.
NOTE: Obviously, life coaches don't treat mental illness or other mental health issues because we are not licensed or
trained for that. So if you realize someone needs counseling or therapy, you need to refer them immediately to the
appropriate professionals. The PCCCA program helps you to identify criteria for who is suitable to become a
coaching client and who may need to be referred to another type of professional. Our training even explains how to
do referrals

professional and successful Christian Life Coach! And imagine, you will be paid well, for using gifts God has given
you, doing something you already love to do!

A business perspective on coaching

As a Christian life coach, there is very little competition in most communities. Christian coaching is increasing while
other types of coaching are on the decline with a struggling economy. This is because the secular world sees
coaching as a luxury, while Christians seek God's truth more than ever in difficult times. This is a growing profession
and if you begin now, you will be prepared for the many opportunities that are out there. Unfortunately not many
Christian Life Coaches know how to promote themselves or their practice effectively. You will learn this during your
training. Better yet, you will learn special "Spirit-Led Marketing" techniques, that will help you connect with those
clients who need what you have to offer.

Many prospective coaches don't feel confident about marketing their practic,e but once they learn our techniques,
they are able to accelerate their practices very quickly.

Business Overhead: Very little is required to start your practice, and you probably have most of it already. If you are
reading this, you obviously have access to a computer. You probably also have a phone. You will need paper, pens,
file folders, coaching tools and forms (provided in the course ) for each of your clients. Most coaching is done over
the phone so you don't need an office. Almost everything you earn is profit.

You can work from any quiet area in your home or office. Since you work by phone, there are no geographic barriers
for who you can work with. You could go away for a few weeks and work from another location. It is your practice,
business or ministry. You get to make the rules. What other profession could say that?

How much do you want to work? (part time vs. full time )

Are you looking at Christian Life Coaching as something you want to do full time or part time? Life Coaching is a
profession where you make the rules. No one tells you how much you should work. It all depends on what you want.
Some coaches work just a few hours a week with a couple clients, others work 30-40 hours with a full time practice.
As a certified Christian life coach, your fees should range between $100-150/hour for personal coaching and $300+
per hour as a business or executive coach. Our course also teaches you to set the right fees for your practice.

Niche development

PCCCA training will teach you how to develop a profitable niche. The days of the generalist coach are gone. Clients
today are willing to pay for specific solutions to their challenges. Being able to coach anyone about anything is
terrific but your greatest profits will lie in developing a niche where you become an expert. We show you how to do
that.

Read the TRUTH ABOUT LIFE COACHING SCHOOL ACCREDITATION

Read article IS ACCREDITATION VALID IN COACHING? in Coaching News, ISSN 1708-9026, January 18, 2010.
This article was written by an independent, secular source. It shares some commonly held concerns for best practices
in coaching accreditation.

As PCCCA reviews accreditation options, it concerns us that most accreditation organizations do not share our
uncompromising biblical worldview, and others may lack the stability and viability we would like to see with any
organization, which would provide oversight for this academy. The Bible is crystal clear about not becoming
uneavenly yoked in relationships. We believe these words apply to both personal and professional relationships.
Such issues have severely limited our options over the years.
