How we fund Life Coach Training and our relationship with affiliate partners.

How We Make Money

Life Coach Training is an independent, editorially-driven resource for aspiring and practicing life coaches. We are supported through affiliate partnerships with coaching training programs and education providers.

What this means: When you click certain links on our site and enroll in a program, we may earn a referral commission from the training provider. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you find the program through our site or directly.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, certification comparisons, or program recommendations. We evaluate programs based on accreditation (ICF, NBHWC, CCE, CPD), training quality, cost, and value — not on whether we have an affiliate relationship with them.

We include programs that we do not have affiliate relationships with when they represent strong options for our readers. We also include critical analysis and potential downsides of programs, even those we partner with.

All data and statistics cited on this site come from primary sources — the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), and other authoritative references. Affiliate partnerships play no role in our data presentation.

How to Identify Affiliate Content

Affiliate links and sponsored placements on our site are presented in clearly marked sections. These may include program comparison cards, training program recommendations, and certification resource links.
