“I’ve been in this kind of coaching world for almost 10 years now, and I didn’t go through Coach Training EDU until this past year. It blew my mind with some of the concepts that I learned and how much I also changed as a coach because of the things that I learned.”

Rowie Wolfe, Academic Life Coach, Academic Success Programs Manager, University of Colorado Boulder, Weld County, Colorado.

Since 2009 over 4400 individuals and over 120 schools and organizations have trained with Coach Training EDU.
