How are the assignments for the Life Strategies
Coaching program graded?
Grading is based on completion and comprehension
of each segment of the course. A comprehensive
exam at the conclusion of your studies IS NOT
required.
 When
will I begin my training program?
The Spencer Institute offers its courses on an "open entry" basis.
This means that you can start your program upon
acceptance of your application. Your coaching
kit will immediately be sent to your home or
office.
Do I need to attend any classes at a physical
location?
The Spencer Institute's Life Strategies Coaching
Program is completed by home study. Studies are
completed through reading your textbook, e-mail,
writing, video (DVD) & audio lessons from
the comfort or your own home.
We do offer a 3-Day Comprehensive LIVE Workshop in Orange County, CA. Yes, you can earn your full Life Strategies Coaching Certification in just 3 days (with a capstone project you take home and finish that week).
Do I need Internet access to be a student? Internet access is not required, but surely will
make communication with your advisors easier.
There are some assignments that may require you
to do small amounts of research. The Web will
greatly simplify this process. When you graduate,
the Internet is your greatest asset for developing
a successful coaching practice.
Can you list all that I receive when I enroll
in the Life Strategies Coaching Certification
Program? With your Spencer Institute Life
Strategies Tool Box, you will receive the following:
CD ROM Coaching Manual,your text for the course:
Allen Sargent's "The Other Mind's Eye," Essentials
of Life Strategies Coaching DVD, Stress Management
DVD, Stress Free Music CD, four audio CD lessons,
toll free technical support, all mailing costs
(int'l students be charged a shipping
fee), and your certificate.
What if I live outside the United States? Anyone can complete our programs regardless of
their physical location. All materials are in
English and assignments must be submitted in English
as well.
How
long does the training program take to complete?
This will vary from person to person because of
previous experience and time availability. It
should take the average person between 4-6 months
to complete all the phases. You can finish it
in any length of time beyond three months. This
is the minimum time requirement.
What are the graduation requirements? Each
student must complete all course requirements
at a satisfactory level. If any single area of
study needs further refinement, you will be notified.
This "refinement" can be satisfied by a phone
interview, clarification on an assignment, or
both. Once all of the student's requirements
are met, your certificate will be issued.
What educational background do I need to become
a coach?
Some coaches have a degree, advanced degree or
designation, but there is no correlation
between a particular degree and success as
a coach.
Clients want you and what you can do for them.
They're not buying degrees; they are buying
expertise and results. A degree is helpful,
but not required.
Many professionals with varied certifications
transition very well into life strategies coaching.
What are the benefits of becoming a life
strategies coach?
There are too many to list them all-- here are
more than a dozen benefits of being a coach:
-
You can work from the beach,
your home, by the pool, in bed or at your
office...
-
You can set the hours that
are most convenient for you and your family...

well beyond -- $100 per hour, and you are
worth it!

and growth in your clients.
