Course Overview
Coaching is now the 2nd fastest growing industry worldwide. That means you can make a difference and a living coaching others (even if you don't have experience or doubt yourself). The benefits of coaching include:
- Lifestyle freedom - Setting your own hours and living life on your terms
- Uncapped income - A big reason why many people are seeing it as the smart alternative to their 9-5 job
- Pandemic proof business - Can be done via Zoom or phone. You can work from the comfort of your own home or anywhere in the world.
The problem is there is once you start researching coaching courses, there is so much conflicting information out there. Most websites make it sound more complex than it actually is and people begin doubting their abilities and start believing they must become a charismatic guru in order to make a living helping others.
The truth is, becoming a successful coach is not difficult when you are taught correctly. It's a set of skills, and skills can be learned. Since 2009, having trained thousands of aspiring and struggling coaches alike, we know the problem is not the PERSON, but the PROCESS. Once you use the correct framework for achieving results, success not only becomes easy, it becomes predictable.
The good news is you can create remarkable results in your life and others...
- Without needing an expensive 12-18 month life coaching training diploma or certificate
- Without feeling stupid or lacking confidence in your skills
- And definitely without needing an endless list of "master practitioner" courses followed by another advanced "train the trainer's" course.
Our goal is to give you the best life coaching education by giving you everything you need to change lives and have the freedom to make a living from it... in the fastest possible way. That's why we created the Accelerated Coaching Certification.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the course take to complete?
We have an accelerated model which means it takes 6 days to learn and integrate our Rapid Results Coaching Framework. These 6 days can be completed LIVE via Zoom or In-Person. Assuming you pass, you will receive a Results Coaching Certification from Authentic Education once you have completed the 6 days in full.
Authentic Education provides the ICF Coaching Specific Training Hours for the ACC – ACSTH Credential Pathway. To continue with the ICF registration process, you will need to complete 100 hours of coaching experience, 10 hours of Mentor Coaching, Performance Evaluation and a Coach Knowledge Assessment. Typically this takes 3 – 6 months after you have completed the Accelerated Coaching Certification. We will advise you on the exact process after you have completed the initial coach-specific training.
Will you upsell me to another “Master prac” or “Certificate IV” or “Train the trainers” training?
No. You only need this life coach training before you have the coaching skills to empower people. We won’t lead you on an endless path of “never feeling prepared enough”
Can I do this course from anywhere in the world?
Yes. There are 3 ways you can choose to take this course. All 3 ways are included in your course enrolment so it’s like 3 courses in one.
- LIVE Online Via Zoom
- LIVE In-Person in Sydney (once the pandemic is over)
- On-Demand Course (Note: The ICF does not certify people for recorded courses. There must be a LIVE online or LIVE in-person element to the training. Any company that says you can is misleading people. If you choose the On-Demand course only, you will receive a Results Coaching Certification from Authentic Education)
Do I really need a coaching certification or qualification to coach people?
No. Coaching is an unregulated industry. Just as you can call yourself a tennis coach, you can also call yourself a life coach, mindset coach, health coach etc. “Coach” is not a term governed by law unlike a “Doctor” or “Lawyer”.
Most new coaches lack confidence so they believe the certification will give them that. What often ends up happening is they go down a never-ending path of coaching courses for many years and many tens of thousands of dollars, always striving never arriving.
In a recent survey of over 500 coaches, we asked our coaches how often they were asked for their certification. They either replied never, rarely or less than 5% of the time. Your clients care more about how confident and professional you are as a coach and the results you help empower them to achieve.
How can I verify that this coaching course is ICF approved?
View our course on the ICF Website here
How soon can I start coaching people?
Immediately after the 6-day life coach training course. Some people prefer to have some practice sessions for a few months before they begin charging which is fine too.
Will you teach us how to get coaching clients?
Yes! After completing our Accelerated Coaching program, you can contact our team to create a coaching profile on our website. This is like free marketing for you because our website visitors will search through coaches in their area and find you.
We also have a specific training module around the business of coaching. This includes learning how to deliver coaching discovery sessions following a specific sales script to educate your clients about your coaching program so that they are inspired to sign up for your coaching services.
How soon will I be able to replace a monthly income of say, $5000?
In between 1 to 6 months. We teach people how to offer clients “packages”. These could range between $3,000 – $12,000. So just 1 package could pay for the course.
If we get stuck, how can we get support?
Once you study life coaching with us, you will get unlimited phone and email support for 6 months. You also have the support of a community of coaches. There is also the 6 monthly group coaching sessions with Benjamin J Harvey.
Are there any pre-requisites or pre-work?
Once you enrol, you will receive a link to read through the ICF Code of Ethics and the ICF Core Competencies. We recommend that you read over these documents so that you become familiar with good coaching practice.
Once you have paid in full for the Accelerated Coaching program, you will also receive access to the On-Demand program. Some students like to review some of the content before attending the live program however this is not compulsory.
Will this course work with other modalities like NLP, Reiki, herbal medicine, etc?
Yes, because this course is not based on any specific modalities. Therefore, you can plug any existing experience or modalities you have into the coaching model.
Do I have to do my life coaching face-to-face?
No, the great thing about becoming a life coach is you don’t need an expensive office. In fact, phone or skype coaching has many advantages for both you and your personal clients including no travel time, ability to coach while travelling etc
What payment options do you have?
We have flexible payment plans starting at $195 AUD deposit. Fill in the form at the top of this page to have a chat with us about your situation.
Can I claim this as a tax deduction?
It’s best to check with your accountant or research the rules for claiming education as a tax deduction in your country. Generally speaking, if it’s helping you earn an income (as an employee or business) in the current financial year then you can claim it in full.
Can I get my employer or my other business to pay for it?
Since coaching is also important for your personal development or skill as a manager, some of our students have had part or all of their course fee paid by their employer or another business they are associated with. In this case, we can issue a tax invoice in the name of your employer or other company.
Are you an RTO (Registered Training Organisation)? Can I get government assistance to pay for this course?
We are not an RTO due to the restrictions the government would place on us to teach and continually update the content we believe you need to become a highly successful coach. RTO’s also have enormous amounts of red tape and costs which we would then need to pass on to our students. Therefore, this course is not eligible for government assistance in Australia but the rules could be different for your country.

There are so many LIVE or online life coaching institutes out there, but which one should you choose? Having researched dozens of life coach training in Australia and all over the world (and completing many of their courses), we have found there are two types...
The Old Model of Life Coaching - The "Guru Model":
The New Model of Life Coaching - The "Empowerment Model":
In this new model, the person (not the process) becomes the central focus.
It works because YOU are your own best coach. There is nobody else out there that knows your desires or problems better than you.
Whether you want to improve your life or the lives of others, this course is essential to effectively create rapid change.
Student Feedback
Mark Rosenfeld
Ben is an amazing speaker and coach. His wealth of knowledge has helped me immensely in growing to become Australia's leading dating and relationships coach.
I challenge you to open your mind to some of his concepts and coaching. If you really take it where it can go and have the courage to APPLY what he says you will go a long, long way.
Connie M | Local Guide
I'm extremely particular in who I lean on for coaching. So for my new businesses, I've been searching out the best of the best business coaches and presenters in Australia.
In 5 minutes, at a one day workshop in #Melbourne, I knew Ben Harvey's trainings were the ones I wanted to move into ... and everyone knows I'm an extremely fussy buyer - I found the quality difference between Ben and his team (#AuthenticEducation) and others I've seen recently is phenomenal
Katrina Crawford
I feel incredibly grateful that I choose to study the Accelerated Coaching Certification program with Authentic Education. I have worked in the education sector for seven years and the level of professionalism, support and value provided within the program was second to none.
The best online program I have ever completed, and I have done a few! The program has provided me with an incredible set of coaching tools.
Thanks Ben and your team for creating a wonderful event.
Michelle McLeod
I followed my intuition when I signed up for the Coaching program as I already have a Life Coaching Diploma but something was still missing and I had a gut feeling this was for me.
I couldn't have been more right! Authentic Education has integrity and totally lines up with my belief that we each have the power to transform our lives from the inside out!
This course is must for anyone who truly wants to help empower others in this world.
