CERTIFication TRACKS
for The New Insights Life Coach Training and Certification Programme
We offer you a choice of three Certification Tracks.
There are two routes, or 'certification tracks' (CLASSIS and CLASSIC PLUS) to become a New Insights Certified Life Coach and receive a professionally designed Certificate of Completion.
Should you choose to, you can then upgrade to New Insights Certified PRO Life Coach status by completing the additional requirements which include mentor coaching and/or a professional competency assessment test. Once successful you will then receive a Certificate of Competency.
Alternatively, you can enrol directly in our PRO level certification track from the get-go.
The choice is yours!

MORE ON OUR COACHING & MENTORING SERVICES
Trainees who choose the CLASSIC PLUS OR PRO tracks will get access to one of our top
coaches (we call them VIP – or Valued Independent Partner – coaches) who
will provide the trainee with coaching and mentoring services for up to
20 hours of their professional time. Such services are generally provided remotely through Zoom, Skype, or similar VOIP facility.
Enrolling in the CLASSIC PLUS will add another dimension to your training.
While training to become a life coach, you will get to experience what it is like to be coached, thus experiencing both sides of the coaching coin – coaching and being coached!

Three Business Practice Support manuals with a wealth of information, and insights on how to plan your practice, sell your services and sustain a thriving practice. |
MORE ON OUR competency assessment PROCESS
The CLASSIC and CLASSIC PLUS tracks require a rigorous assessment of the trainee, in two parts, viz.
- understanding of the skills training theory (self-test assignments and a theorty exam); and
- the ability to apply this through practice coaching, for which clients submit feedback forms to New Insights..
The PRO track builds on this, with an additional requirement for you to submit video or audio recordings of two of the practice sessions you undertake. Competency in applying the theory in actual coaching sessions is then professionally evaluated by one of our VIP coaches.
This difference is recognised on the certificate that we issue after certification. Graduates of the CLASSIC tracks receive a Certificate of Completion, whereas graduates of the PRO track receive a Certificate of Competency.
MORE ON THE DURATION OF TRAINING
Remember, this is a self paced programme. The time you take will largely depend on you and the time you have available to study and practice, so there is no hard and fast answer to this.
You may have read that on average our trainee coaches (CLASSIC tracks) tend to complete certification in around 9-15 months.
If you choose to enrol in the PRO track right from the start, you may require a little more time to take account of the coaching and mentoring interactions and the video assessment of competency. We recommend you allow between 12 and 18 months to become certified at the PRO level.
No matter what track you choose, New Insights will provide full certification support for up to two full years should you need it.
WHICH TRACK SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Rest assured there is no right or wrong answer!
It all depends on you and your personal assessment of the cost/benefit tradeoff.
This essentially comes down to who you are, how you learn best, and how you view the cost/benefit tradeoff.
There is no right or wrong answer here. You need to weigh up the added benefits of the different tracks relative to the budget that you personally wish to allocate for training.
The CLASSIC track represents exceptional value for money and is everything you need to become a life coach and set up your own practice.
The CLASSIC PLUS track adds another dimension to your training, exposing you to what it is like to be coached, along with the guidance and advice that a very experienced coach can offer.
The PRO track – whether you enrol in it from the start or choose to upgrade from one of the CLASSIC tracks later – is for those who want the very best training and want to submit their expertise to the ultimate litmus test that comes from a professional assessment of real coaching sessions.
Whichever track you choose, we feel sure you won't be disappointed by the quality, integrity and value of the training and all round experience.
CAN YOU UPGRADE FROM ONE TRACK TO ANOTHER?
Yes.
Although, choosing the track that's right for you from the outset will save you money overall as the fee for upgrading after you have enrolled is approximately 10% higher.
UPGRADING DURING YOUR INITIAL TRAINING
You can upgrade from CLASSIC to CLASSIC PLUS, CLASSIC to PRO or CLASSIC PLUS to PRO, at any time during the first six months of enrolling.
UPGRADING after certification
You can upgrade to PRO level certification at any time after competing your initial certification.
If you achieved certification initially through the CLASSIC track you will be required to:
- Engage a VIP mentor coach to be coached and mentored through the 15 sessions of the New Insights Life Coaching System.
- Submit recordings of two sessions for professional competency assessment purposes.
If you achieved certification through the CLASSIC PLUS track you will be required to:
- Submit recordings of two sessions for professional competency assessment purposes
COST TO upgrade:
Remember - choosing the track that's right for you from the outset will save you
money overall as the fee for upgrading after you have enrolled is
approximately 10% higher than choosing a more advanced track initially. Also, bear in mind that fees are adjusted from time to time.
Please consult the Certification Track Upgrade Fees page of our website for more detail.
