Certified Group Coaching Program

Expand Your Impact. Scale Your Business. Lead With Confidence.

Group coaching is one of the most in–demand, scalable, and impactful skills a coach can learn today. And it's the fastest growing segment of the coaching marketplace. Whether you’re a new ACC, an experienced PCC, or a coach ready to diversify your offerings, this certification gives you everything you need to design, lead, and launch transformational group coaching programs — with confidence and excellence.

This ICF-approved CCE program teaches you how to build a profitable, ethical, psychologically safe group coaching program from the ground up.

You’ll walk away as a Certified Group Coach (CGC), with the skills, tools, and a fully developed signature group coaching program ready to launch.

Where Shared Space Creates Bigger Breakthroughs

Group coaching brings together individuals — from similar or diverse backgrounds — who gather not because they work together, but because they’re each committed to their own growth. What makes it powerful is the collective energy: people learning side by side, sharing insights, and realizing they’re not alone in their challenges or their aspirations.

As the coach, you design a structured, intentional environment that sparks fresh awareness, encourages meaningful dialogue, and supports each participant in creating their own breakthroughs and next steps.

Group coaching blends the best parts of:

  • Facilitation
  • Connection
  • Mindset exploration
  • Collective wisdom
  • Individual transformation

When done well, group coaching becomes a catalytic experience — one that expands each person’s perspective, amplifies their learning, and elevates your impact as a coach.

Why Group Coaching Works — and Why It’s Exploding in Demand

Because it multiplies everything —  your impact, your income, and your opportunities.

Group coaching is one of the fastest, most sustainable ways to:

  • work fewer hours while serving more clients
  • deliver deeper transformation through shared insight
  • build thriving communities around your work
  • offer more accessible pricing without lowering your value
  • create recurring and scalable revenue streams

And most importantly: group coaching is becoming a core skill for coaches who want to stand out in a crowded field. Only 15–20% of coaches offer group coaching — meaning the opportunity is massive.
