Certification Curriculum
The Doctor Coach School™ certification follows a structured, week-by-week curriculum designed for clinical doctors. Each phase combines pre-recorded lessons, live skills labs, peer coaching, and applied assessments.
Every lesson is mapped to professional coaching competencies defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Center for Credentialing & Education (CCE/BCC), ensuring that you’re not only learning our proprietary frameworks—you’re training to recognized professional standards.
Phase One: The Coaching Self
Before you can coach a client, you must become the coach. Phase One builds the foundation by teaching you how belief works, how to process emotion, and how to regulate your own nervous system—so you don’t bring unexamined patterns into the coaching room.
By the end of Phase One, you’ll know how to evaluate your own thinking, regulate your nervous system in real time, and create new results by changing what you believe—without ignoring what you feel.
Competencies in this phase are aligned with ICF and BCC professional standards.
Phase Two: Client Acquisition
Once you’ve built the foundation, Phase Two trains you in the skill of signing clients ethically and effectively. You’ll learn how to market and sell from belief—not pressure—so that you can begin working with real clients during the program.
By the end of Phase Two, you will have enrolled at least one high-ticket client—and demonstrated the ability to market and sell your coaching with professional skill and belief-based congruence.
Competencies in this phase are aligned with ICF and BCC professional standards.
Phase Three: Client Transformation
In Phase Three, you move from acquiring clients to coaching them through the full arc of transformation. You’ll apply the frameworks and competencies you’ve already practiced—this time in real sessions with real clients—while receiving structured feedback, mentor coaching, and evaluation.
