Optional Professional Training

Students may choose to enhance their Master's degree by signing up for ITP's Transformational Coaching Professional Training. (Please see description below.)

Transformational Life Coaching
Life Coaches empower people to make the changes they want in their lives, usually in the areas of work, relationships, health, financial prosperity, and personal development. Transformational coaching emphasizes making core changes that are in alignment with one's deepest truths and values.

This training prepares students for a career as a Professional Life Coach while providing them with a unique whole-person education. Students may combine specialized coaching strategies with skills they may have developed in their field of work or practice.

Students complete at least one year in an ITP program to give them a strong foundation in transpersonal studies and self-knowledge upon which to build coaching skills. In addition to the foundational year in transpersonal studies, the Coaching curriculum consists of four courses:

Course 1: Introduction to Transformational Coaching
Course 2: The Transformational Coaching Process
Course 3: Practicum in Transformational Coaching
Course 4: Practical Application of Transformational Coaching

External Training
Students may also choose a specialized training program independent of the ITP curriculum. For example, a student in the Transpersonal Wellness Professional Specialization might decide to train as a Yoga therapist, hypnotherapist, or shamanic practitioner. This student could then seek approval to use this training as an Independent Study.
