Classy Career Girl® Career Coach Certification

Become a certified career coach

Launch your career coaching business without quitting your job first, in 5 to 10 hours a week.

Apply for a free strategy session. We'll map out your next steps together, and if Certification is the right fit, we'll talk it through.

Takes about a minute. You'll pick your call time right after.

More than a certificate

Most certifications teach you how to coach. We help you launch the business too.

You don't have to figure out your niche, your offer, your pricing, your sales calls or your client materials on your own. That is where most new coaches stall.

Inside Certification, the coaching materials and business systems are already built for you. You practice with real clients we provide, get personal feedback on your coaching, and learn to enroll paying clients while you earn your certification.

Step 1

Nail your niche

Use our formula to find your sweet spot and confidently own your lane.

Step 2

Master enrollment

Follow our plug and play scripts to enroll clients without ever feeling salesy.

Step 3

Coach real clients

Practice with people who genuinely want coaching, not friends and family, and get video feedback from me on your sessions.

Step 4

Graduate and get listed

Earn your badge, join our public coach directory, and keep going with a full year of live group coaching behind you.

You can start coaching in your first week. Graduate in as little as 90 days, or take the full year. You pick.

The full curriculum on day one

Five modules plus orientation, all on demand. Start at the beginning, or go straight to getting your first clients.

A year of live group coaching

Live Q&A and coaching with me. Every call is recorded, and you can message me on Slack between calls.

Real practice clients

People who genuinely want coaching, not role play with classmates or favors from friends.

Personal feedback from me

Video feedback on your recorded sessions, plus a one-to-one halfway call, so you know what to change before you charge for it.

Done-for-you scripts and templates

Sales scripts, coaching frameworks, a 90-day client program and onboarding emails. Nothing built from scratch.

Your badge and directory listing

Graduate as a Classy Career Girl® Certified Career Coach, with a badge for your site and a profile in our public coach directory.

One certification, four ways to coach: leadership, productivity, business and job search. All four are included, and you lead with the one that fits the clients you want.

Meet your coach

Hi! I'm Anna.

Since 2012, I've helped thousands of women launch their dream careers and businesses.

I'm the founder of Classy Career Girl®, one of Forbes' Most Influential Career Websites, and the Classy Career Girl® Career Coach Certification Program.

I launched my own business in 2014 with a newborn on my hip, so I know what it takes to build something that fits around your family.

I built this certification to be the program I wish I had: not just how to coach, but how to get paid for it.

Questions I hear a lot

How much time does it take each week?

Plan on 5 to 10 hours a week once you add practice coaching, finding clients and building the business. Everything is on demand, and the training itself can take as little as 15 minutes a day.

How long does it take to get certified?

You pick. Graduate in as little as 90 days, or take the full year. Everything unlocks the day you join.

Do I have to quit my job first?

No. Certification is built so you can launch your coaching business without quitting your job first, and you can start coaching in your first week.

Is it ICF-accredited?

No. Classy Career Girl® Certification is an independent certification and is not affiliated with or accredited by the ICF. You graduate as a Classy Career Girl® Certified Career Coach, with a badge for your site and a listing in our public coach directory.

What does it cost? Is there a payment plan?

We'll go through the investment on your strategy session, once we both know it's the right fit. You can pay in full or monthly.

Will my employer help pay for it?

Many employers reimburse certification. We'll give you a receipt and a letter to submit.

What if I join and it isn't the right fit?

You're covered by our 14-day fit guarantee. Enroll, come to the first live call, send in your branding survey and start module one. If within 14 days you don't believe this is going to work for you, email me for a full refund.

Does my location matter?

No. Everything is online, and we have certified coaches around the world.

Ready to talk about your coaching business?

Your experience is valuable, and there are women out there who need exactly what you know. Let's map out your next step together.

Takes about a minute. You'll pick your call time right after.

You've got this!

Anna
