Low Cost Options to Learn Coaching Part II
This is part two of our two-part series on understanding low cost options to learn coaching skills.
In this episode, we unpack a few courses & training programs that can get you started on your OT Coaching career without breaking the bank!
Option #1
Udemy.com. Disclaimer: I do not "endorse" Udemy as a high-quality training or even a legitimate "accredited" training, however: it meets basic criteria for being a very low cost and low time commitment training. If you are simply interested in watching some videos to understand basic life coaching concepts, the udemy trainings will get the job done!

Option #2
Coaching Skills for Occupational Therapists (Jen Gash's training). This is a six module program taught by an OT for OT's (with a "free preview" option). Jen does a great job discussing the basic fundamentals of coaching and how it applies to OT. The only downside to this program is that it is currently not certified for AOTA Continuing Educaton Units or ICF Continuing Coach Education

Option #3
Function First Coaching: Dive Into a Coach Approach 1.0 (Helene Theriault's training) This is an excellent introduction to coaching in the context of occupational therapy. The best news is: It is accredited by AOTA and the ICF for CCE, so all of your hours in the training count toward ICF Certification! There are three levels of training in this hybrid training program, which is partly done on-line and partly done live (online or in-person). The first and prerequisite course is Level I (12 hours); Level II (10 hours) and Level III (10 hours)

Option #4
iPEC Life & Leadership Potentials Training (Module I) This is the first weekend module of a nine-month long ICF-accredited coach training program. It is an intensive 3-day (30 hour) program that teaches all of the basic coaching skills. While you will not be certified, by the end of three days you will feel confident to start taking paying clients. This course allows you to "bring a friend for free" which reduces your tuition by half.

Option #5
Thomas Jefferson University "Coaching in Context" workshops & lectures (Dr. Marie-Christine Potvin, Dr. MJ Mulcahey and Dr. Nicole Gerhardt) This website provides several free lectures on coaching in the context of OT and also provides low-cost workshops to introduce OT's to the coaching approach in the context of patient care and school based practice.
