Reasons Certification Matters
When you complete a professional business coach certification program, you will understand the powerful coaching fundamentals that are necessary to help your clients maximize their results. You will also understand the biggest mistakes that untrained business coaches make and why they make them.
Business coaching is an art and a science. There are fundamentals and competencies that must be adhered to provide high-level coaching to your clients.
Your certification provides credibility to your prospective clients, but even more importantly, it provides you the skills necessary to be an outstanding business coach.Certification is Only The Beginning!
Continuing Education
Virtual Peer Groups – All PBCA member-coaches are welcome to join our monthly Peer Group calls! These calls are professionally facilitated “mastermind sessions” where you will get the help you need, while also providing your peers any help you can offer. This is a great forum to improve your skills while building relationships with some of the best business coaches in North America!

“After 9 years as an independent consultant, I was earning mid-six figure level annual earnings when I joined the PBCA. Immediately, I learned new approaches and tools and saw my income jump significantly. The combined wisdom I have access to now keeps paying dividends and has expanded my horizons.”
“PBCA has been a fantastic organization, it has really helped to succeed in my coaching practice and have also helped me as a person to grow, and with all honesty, I’ve never belonged to such an organization where people are so willing to share, so willing to exchange ideas and thoughts and help each other, that’s colleagues. It’s a phenomenal organization.”
“For me the PBCA has been really valuable to grow in my business. I had no experience in running my own business actually prior to PBCA, so just all the tools and that really mostly is a comradery, the working with others, the body coaching. Been able to share on the experiences as with people who have done a great job, and really learning from that. That’s been the pest part of been PBCA.”
“PBCA has made a tremendous difference actually in mi life. I began coaching about two and a half years ago and John and his training was very instrumental in my success. Very thankful for that. The creativity that have been given the independence I have, I love it! I absolutely love it and the alliance, the friends I’ve made tremendous benefit to my business.”
“I’m Dennis Banagura and I just into an experience quite frankly of a lifetime. I’ve got about thirty years of executive experience running companies. I was forced to be part of an IPO for one of my firms, and as a of late the last five to six years I’ve been doing consulting work. And I was trying to find something new for me, that´ll be exciting where I think I can use me, my individual capabilities and have fun doing it. And so, I had a quest looking for opportunities and I found that this new world the business coaching. Didn’t know about it before, and I did some research and I came across three to four companies, but more importantly I came across to one called PBCA.”
“I just love the community of professionals I have gotten to know through the PBCA. Over the last 7 years, I have gained so much insight from my peers. PBCA is about coaches supporting coaches. Sure, there are other franchises and loose associations out there. But, in the PBCA, we freely share our tools, partnerships, and know-how. Even though I had already built a high-six-figure practice before I joined, I would definitely say that the PBCA has been an indispensable part of my continued growth.”
“David Fuller from Prince George British Columbia, and just finishing up the week at the PBCA training, and you know I’ve known for a couple of years that I’ve wanted to be a coach, I saw another coaching action and thought that you know that’ll be really something that I really liked to do. The guy kinda inspired me and then I took some of the techniques he showed me and I used them in coaching you know some of my friends that needed some help in business and then I was doing my MBA, finishing my MBA. I known I needed to pay for that, kinda do something else. I’ve been in these business for 30 years I’ve had a couple of healthy stores, so I started to looking around into coaching programs and I started on a journey with a franchise, sort of asking a lot of questions and they had some great prep programs seemed!”
“The PBCA for me has given me the opportunity to have a comradery with people that think the same, who are experiencing the same, but maybe sometimes even better that I am at something. So, I get to pull that knowledge and be able to leave pretty quickly when applying it. So, its important to me that a coach is a coach, there is this saying that says if there’s no sense on being a preacher, walking anywhere to preach and not preaching while you are walking and so I can’t really ask my clients to do things that I’m not doing for myself. So, I meet with them and I want them to apply so I come here so I can leave and I can apply and the PBCA allows you to do that pretty quickly if you use the tools.”
