Professional Coaching Training
Our professional coaching training program in French-speaking Switzerland.
Coaching is a professional support technique that helps individuals recognize their potential for success, develop that potential, and be motivated to take action toward achieving their goals, whether personal or professional.
Contrary to popular belief, the role of a coach requires specific skills and adherence to a code of ethics. Our training program emphasizes the practical application of knowledge and tools, enabling future coaches to acquire the necessary skills.
The professional coaching training program thus prepares participants to provide effective and ethical coaching.
Our training program consists of a two-step process.
Step 1
The first stage includes a basic training program consisting of 8 in-person modules, as well as the opportunity to practice during training sessions.
Step 2
The second is a certification phase. You can choose from two paths depending on your abilities and/or goals.
Who can participate?
The professional coaching training program is open to anyone who wishes to develop their interpersonal and mentoring skills.
It helps improve one’s listening skills and understanding of others, and fosters the autonomy of those with whom one interacts by helping them tap into their own resources.
This training is a valuable asset whether you’re a manager, HR professional, trainer, aspiring coach, …, or simply someone who wants to learn more about yourself and your relationships with others.

- Structuring a Coaching Session

Coaching Program
Step 1
The first stage of the professional coaching training program consists of 8 modules, each lasting 1.5 days—for a total of 12 days—comprising 88 hours of in-person instruction and 16 hours of asynchronous independent study.
Each of the 8 modules explores a specific coaching topic. Each module is offered twice a year: once on a Wednesday afternoon (2:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.) and a Thursday all day (8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.), and once on a Friday all day (8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.) and a Saturday morning (8:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.).
In addition, we offer you the opportunity to participate in training sessions to develop your skills:
- 12 three-hour sessions per year to practice coaching with other coaches and mentors in training. The sessions are held either in person or via Zoom video conference.
You’ll benefit from the guidance and support of a coach-trainer who will supervise your coaching sessions and provide you with valuable feedback.
We offer you the flexibility to organize this training program according to your needs and schedule. You can start with any module, take the modules in order or out of order, and complete all of them or just a few. You can complete the entire basic training program over 6 months, 1 year, or longer, depending on what works best for you.
