What is Co-Active?
The Co-Active Model is the most widely used model in the coaching industry. Our scientifically based methodology provides a simple, intuitive framework for human interaction that creates profound results.
Overview
Our Co-Active professional coach training journey has three steps.
Step 1
Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching
The first step in your professional coach training journey begins with the 2.5-day course, Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching, which sets the foundation introducing the Co-Active Model, while teaching powerful coaching and communication techniques. The focus is on participation, with numerous opportunities to practice coaching and receive feedback on your newly acquired skills. Fundamentals is so versatile in its application, we recommend it to anyone seeking practical systems for managing relationships with others, even if your goal is not to become a professional coach.
Step 2
Co-Active Coaching Intermediate Series
The Co-Active Coaching Intermediate Series continues to build on your learning from Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching with a series of 3-day courses that explore essential coaching principles: Fulfillment, Balance, Process, and Synergy. This deeper, more immersive level of training fosters expansive development, at both a personal and professional level. Build a coaching framework, integrate your learning, and gain competency in Co-Active coaching, one of the fastest-growing, most in-demand leadership skills.
Step 3

After completing Fundamentals and the coach training Intermediate series (Fulfillment through Synergy), you are eligible for Professional Coach Certification. This in-depth, 6-month virtual program is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and will prepare you for a career as a professional coach. With individual supervision and feedback, participation will help you build your coaching business, hone your coaching skills on a deeper, more skillful level, and prepare you to earn the Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) designation, one of the most highly respected and sought-after certifications in the coaching industry.

The Science of Coaching
Harvard Medical School maps science to Co-Active coaching.
“CTI offers a gold standard of coach training, and the Co-Active model behind it is remarkably congruent with a vast body of research in positive psychology and coaching. As business, health and personal coaches begin to master and articulate these messages, we believe it will create inroads for more individuals and organizations to see the value and validity of coaching.”
“It’s exciting to see how the entire field can be uplifted by connecting science and theory with the spirit and practice of coaching. In the future, results will continue to show how science can be mapped to CTI’s Co-Active model and their four cornerstones of coaching.”
—Dr. Carol Kauffman, founder and director of the Institute of Coaching and faculty of Harvard Medical School for over 25 years
