Coaching Education Built for the Real World
We don’t teach coaching as a collection of tools or techniques. We teach it as a way of thinking inside the conversation.
Our proprietary Coaching Out of the Box™ Method, anchored in the 5.5.5™ Coaching Model, brings clarity, structure, and presence to real-world coaching moments.
- A clear conversational process
- Essential skills applied in context
- A mindset that prevents fixing and advising
Coaches don’t just know what to do — they know how to think clearly when it matters most.
This approach has helped train over 55,000 coaches across 38 countries with a 95% first-attempt ICF exam pass rate.

What Our Students Say
I would recommend Coaching Out of the Box's Fast Track program to anyone interested in achieving their ICF certification. The five modules are thoughtfully designed, starting with their 5/5/5 model that provides a logical framework for learning, through actual coaching practice in front of an experienced mentor coach, and culminating in preparation for the ICF certification. Frankly, the Coaching Out of the Box program was one of the best training investments I ever made.
Exceptional program with world-class client/student service, motivational facilitators. I only signed up because of Sandra's sales pitch (stood out among all the other schools I looked into) and it was every bit as she advertised and more. I am extremely happy with my investment. Special shout out to Carolyn, Rosa, Helen, Lerae, Sinive and Sandra. Thank you!
Sooooo helpful! Especially the assistance with submitting the transcript, audio recording, and exam application process. TOTALLY felt like someone was providing me verbal guidance regarding what to do next. So very thankful for this course. Amazing staff!! Customer service is second to NONE; felt supported throughout my time: applying for the course, during the course and all the questions I had regarding the exam application process.
COTBx has a well-established program that was clear, well-organized and supported, with competent coaches and mentors, and plenty of other students to work alongside with. Very professional and competent program.
