What Other Information Should You Be Aware of When Studying at Erickson?
FAQ
First and foremost, we would like to emphasise that choosing a specialisation in coaching is not mandatory at all. Upon completing training at Erickson, you, as a coach, have the flexibility to work with inquiries from various fields. As you gain experience and practice, you will be able to pinpoint the most engaging niches for yourself and focus on those areas.
Erickson does not provide you clients during training, as prospecting is an additional skill that our students practice during training. As part of the program, our students are required to work in teams of three with assistants, and after completing the first module they can begin to practice with clients. We would be happy to share our own experience of finding our first coaching clients!
