Popular Business Coach Trainer

The core of BCI’s training is the Certified Business Coach (CBC)® program, which was offered for the first time in 2007. It was the first coaching training in Finland to receive the prestigious accreditation from the International Coach Federation (ICF), the global coaching organization. This foundational course for coaches has been regularly provided both as an open training and internally within organizations.
The CBC® remains a highly popular training program, and over a thousand certified business coaches have graduated from it. The program has also been conducted in the UK and the Baltics. The Certified Business Coach Master program is the first entirely Finnish and Finnish-language training program with ICF’s high-quality standards ACTP level accreditation.

In addition to certification training, BCI offers several other business coach training and coaching skills training in organizations and in social programs, such as the School-coaching project. We also host monthly webinars and expert events.
