Choose a Growing, In-Demand Industry
Career coaching is a 17.6 billion-dollar industry.
(source IBIS World, 2024 US Industry Report)
Demand is skyrocketing as:
- People reconsider their career focus, life balance, and purpose.
- Students and parents question the cost of education in the absence of a clear career direction.
- Boomers retire, seeking their next chapter.
- Organizations realize that talent development facilitates retention.
This landscape of change opens the door for your career coaching future.
Choose a Certification that Does One thing Better than Anyone Else
Notice we don’t certify life coaches, wellness coaches, or spiritual coaches? We don’t, because we focus singularly on one thing: career coaching. We provide you with a complete delivery system including client intake strategies, career assessments, a transition model, session facilitation guides, and more. You will learn how to be a masterful career coach with the tools to help your clients find a direction that fits them perfectly. You will also be qualified and prepared to work with executives and business leaders in organizations using your career coaching knowledge and refined coaching skills.
We also offer rigorous coaching training focusing 80% of your training on the ICF coaching competencies. You will learn to structure coaching sessions with clear roles, expectations, and measurable success targets. You will polish your questions and coaching responses, eliminating story-telling, advice, and contextual experience. Written and verbal feedback from your instructors, mentors, and peers will refine your expertise and boost your confidence.
Personal, Contemporary, Robust
Your fourteen-week training program is delivered by deeply experienced, ICF certificated career coaches via a virtual, highly interactive format. Class size is limited to ten people to ensure you receive extensive career coaching practice as well as written and verbal feedback. You also receive ten mentor sessions to polish your skills, prepare you to pass your ICF performance evaluation and set audacious goals for your future.
The Career Coach Entrepreneur Academy will open new doors in your professional life and introduce you to a brilliant circle of colleagues. You will build bonds with both your fellow class-mates and your instructors. You will also interact with the academy founder, Helen Horyza. We want to get to know you and offer a highly customized training experience.
If you happen to be in a transition yourself, you will heal and grow as you learn. You will look back on this experience as a turning point where you regained your confidence and your dignity. If you are open to it, this will be a life changing experience and a new beginning for you professionally.
One the other hand, if you’ve been coaching for years, this is an on-ramp to deepen your expertise. You can start your career coaching business on the side or dive in to a full-time venture. We will help you determine the best strategy for you to achieve your goals.

The CCEA drew me in for two compelling reasons. First, Helen Horyza’ s eBook entitled “Is It Time For You to Become a Career Coach?” caught my eye. I was inspired by her authentic expression of her coaching journey. Secondly, I was impressed by the Academy’s all-inclusive course curriculum. We received an array of learning materials, videos, a book, access to Helen’s YouTube channel, and a robust Learning Management System. I now have a coaching arsenal that gave me a significant head start in establishing my private career coaching business. The CCEA is an invaluable training program with an impressive ROI.
