The Art of Masterful Coaching
Coach School’s Certified Professional Coach program is a game changer in the field of coach certification
Coach School is here to give you all the tools, frameworks and skills you need to be a successful coach, and the freedom and flexibility to develop your own coaching style.
You’ll get fill in the blanks templates to build your coaching business in half the time, and with twice the confidence.
You’ll have the space to be unique, in fact we encourage it.
Coach School is a world class and globally recognised, coach skills training provider and business incubator that gives you the confidence to say, ‘I’m a coach’ and mean it.
Coach School is owned and run by Lorraine Hamilton, a coach with over a decade of experience. She became heartbroken and angry after talking with many newly qualified coaches who had spent their savings on trainings that did not deliver the confidence and skills required to make a living from coaching.
In the worst cases, Lorraine discovered that some of the better known institutions were employing misleading marketing tactics meaning that students needed to purchase multiple courses on top of their initial investment.
Lorraine is on a mission to educate prospective coach students so that they can enter their new, rewarding career with their eyes wide open.

How many client breakdowns are you going to have to manage on your own before you feel confident to deal with whatever is in front of you?
How many hours are you going to spend poring over YouTube and textbooks before you find the coaching style that is right for you?

Claim the title ‘Certified Professional Coach’ as your own and swiftly make money from making a difference.
Feel the glow of satisfaction as you witness the change in your clients before your very eyes.
Coach School is not a marketing machine. I have no desire to lock students into something that is not a great fit.
It does not serve you, nor me, nor the coaching industry and my vision for Coach School.
That is why Coach School enrollment is by application only. After your initial application you may be invited to an informal interview to have all of your questions answered, and to see if Coach School is the right fit for you.
It is natural however for some students to realise once they have embarked on a path of study that it is not the right one for them.
That is why I am offering a 14 day Money Back Guarantee, from enrollment date.
You will receive the first 2 modules of content, plus be able to attend an Office Hours call and 1:1 mentoring session to see if Coach School is the right fit for you.
(Refund requests will be processed between week 1 and 3, and will be subject to a $200 USD admin fee. Please make your selection carefully, and ask all necessary questions during your interview BEFORE signing up.)
Frequently Asked Questions
WHEN DO WE START?
Coach School offers rolling enrollment which means that you can start as soon as you are accepted onto the course
IS THERE ANY 1:1 TIME?
Yes. There is an unprecedented amount of 1:1 support through fortnightly 1:1 mentoring throughout the first 6 months of your study, as well as individualised feedback via the course platform, and assessed coaching calls. Support is also offered in our FB Group.
DO I HAVE TO ATTEND THE LIVE CALLS?
It is a requirement for certification that you have a minimum number of coach specific training hours, and the calls form part of those hours. Therefore if you seek certification, there is a requirement to attend and participate in 80% of the calls over a 6 month period.
You can still coach without certification, but we strongly recommend attending the live calls.
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I SET ASIDE TO COMPLETE COACH SCHOOL?
Whilst there is no pressure to complete the Coach School materials, you should allow at least 3-4hrs a week to review your training materials, complete coursework exercises, and practice your coaching skills.
Some modules are longer than others, and require more coursework to complete.
Certification is dependent upon completion of course materials, coaching log, live assessed calls and exam. There is no time limit to complete these elements.
I'M NOT A GREAT ONE FOR READING AND WRITING, I'M MUCH MORE OF A HANDS-ON LEARNER, CAN I STILL COMPLETE COACH SCHOOL?
Of course! There is not a huge writing component in the act of coaching, so there is no reason to put a barrier between you and your coach certification. There are many ways to complete the Coach School materials; you can record your reflection exercises and have them transcribed for marking, and the live calls will explain the concepts in the weekly module, although it is recommended that you review the material in advance of the call to prepare any questions.
DO MY PRACTICE COACHING HOURS COUNT TOWARDS MY COACHING LOG?
Absolutely! Any hours where you are performing the function of coach can be counted towards your coaching log. It is advisable to work with a number of different clients to complete your log as this builds your experience faster, however all logged coaching calls count. Please be aware that for certain ICF Accreditation paths, there are requirements for paid clients to make up part of your coaching logs. More details can be found at www.coachfederation.com
WHY SHOULD I GO FOR ICF CREDENTIALING?
From the International Coach Federation website
“For over a decade, the International Coach Federation has been leading the development of professional coaching. More than 20,000 coaches have participated in one of ICF’s three credentials, gaining coaching expertise and professional fulfillment. With an ICF Credential, coaches demonstrate not only knowledge and skill, but also a commitment to high professional standards and a strong code of ethics.
Anyone serious about building or maintaining a coaching business should pursue an ICF Credential and become part of this well-respected group that has chosen to regulate itself and provide accountability to clients and the coaching profession as a whole.
All ICF Credential-holders complete rigorous education and practice requirements, providing testimony to their commitment to excellence in coaching.
The mission of the ICF Credentialing program is to:
- Protect and serve consumers of coaching services
- Measure and certify competence of individuals
- Inspire pursuit of continuous development”
HOW FLEXIBLE IS THE SCHEDULE?
The schedule is entirely flexible as students work through Coach School at their own pace. 1:1 support is offered for the first 6 months to give structure, accountability and support.
HOW MUCH STUDENT/TRAINER CONTACT IS THERE IN COACH SCHOOL?
There is a huge amount of student/trainer contact in Coach School in the form of individualised two-way feedback on your coursework via our training platform, fortnightly 1:1 mentoring sessions for the first 6 months, fortnightly Office Hours calls, and Facebook Group. For the purposes of accreditation, Coach School has 82 hours of Approved Coach Specific Training Hours accredited by ICF.
HOW LONG ARE THE MODULES?
Each module has a training video or PDF/audio combination for you to review. These recordings are between 40 mins to an hour long.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE COACH SCHOOL?
It is possible to complete Coach School in as little as 3 months, however this is unrealistic for most. And whilst there are many coach trainings available that will certify students over a weekend or a few days, Coach School is not one of them. Here, we aim to provide you with comprehensive training and support to become a masterful coach, and mastery takes time. You should be prepared to spend 6 months at least completing the requirements to become a Certified Professional Coach with Coach School.
I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION THAT ISN'T ANSWERED HERE, CAN I TALK TO YOU?
Of course! You will have ample opportunity to ask any question during the interview portion of your application.

Rose Kirby

“COACH SCHOOL HAS HELPED ME REFLECT ON MY OWN JOURNEY AS WELL AS GIVING ME CLARITY ON HOW I CAN BEST NURTURE OTHERS”
"I started just looking to grow my tool box of skills to use with the women I nurture, but have learnt more about myself, my passions and my own purpose than I ever thought possible.
Coach School has meant I can now nurture the women I work with in a way I always dreamed I could."

“LORRAINE HAS SUCH A TALENT WITH HER TECHNIQUES, A GENTLENESS BUT ALSO A LACK OF BS IN PERFECT MEASURE!”
To work with someone who listens to what you need, guides you without telling you what to do and who understands that the line between personal and business is very deeply connected has been so beautiful.”

“LORRAINE IS BEYOND AWSOME AND BOY DOES SHE KNOW HER STUFF!“
I always end up with having numerous light bulb moments as well as a really good laugh!! She is the perfect example of why coaching works.

“RUN, DON'T WALK, RUN TO LORRAINE HAMILTON."

“LORRAINE HAMILTON IS AMAZING!
"She has completely eradicated my worry of being trolled and with that helped me move through my fear of judgement. She also helped me figure out how to separate my worries from my fears + gave me the tools to easily disregard the worries. But the BIGGEST thing that Lorraine helped me with was helping me to be more open to receiving anything good that comes my way – compliments, praise, money, opportunities – instead of deflecting it away from me. This is HUGE + she helped me reframe things in a way that nobody else has done before. Thank you so much Lorraine, you really are a miracle worker”
