The philosophy of Christian Solution-Focused Coaching:

  • People already have all the resources they need. Philippians 4:13 "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you."
  • It is positive and solution focused, not problem oriented: Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things."
  • It is future oriented: Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
  • The map is not the territory: Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
  • There is no failure, only feedback: Phil. 3:13 "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."
  • I am in charge of my mind, and therefore my results: Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
  • People make the best choices available to them at the time: Luke 23:24 "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing" A persons behavior is not who they are: The doctrine of Sanctification and Salvation.

What other students are saying about the training:

"I recently attended the Art & Science of Coaching Module 1 and am very excited to start Module 2. Prior to this training I had a basic knowledge of coaching in different venues. This class opened up a whole new world of coaching for me. It shed light on things that have always been missing pieces in coaching someone and provided the necessary priciples to coach successful change in someones life. I am very excited to begin implementation and to practice these principles in coaching sessions. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who desires a greater knowledge and understanding of coaching. This is a powerful tool to both help and advance the lives of people." Tamara Fontenot, Lakewood, WA

I would happily recommend Tony Husted as a trainer because his presentation style is authentic and clear. I enjoyed his sense of humour, his insights & his ability to model being fully present with his client during a coaching conversation. T.Nadon, Vancouver Island, BC

Module 3 "Core Value Coaching" and Module 4 "Sensory & Specific Achievement" will be offered throughout the year in person at several locations nationwide including:
Seattle, Washington
Tampa, Florida
Columbus, Ohio or Chicago, Illinois (tbd)
Texas
New England

Module 5 "Integration and Mastery" is an optional interactive distance learning course for those seeking to receive credentialing directly from the International Coaching Federation as completion of the Accredited Coach Training Program requirements.

The Art and Science of Coaching; A Transformational Christian Program is a unique course designed for professionals, pastoral and lay persons who want to assist others in developing their own God given talents, strengths, gifts, and vision. The course is taught from a Judeo-Christian Worldview, taking into account the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, Biblical Truth, and God's Redemptive Plan.

Erickson College International and Tony Husted, The Christian Coach offers you a unique approach to coaching that is not offered in any other coach training program currently available. Take the opportunity to make coaching excellence your reality. Become the Christian Coach you imagine yourself to be.

The Art and Science of Coaching; A Transformational Christian Program is a 16-day accelerated learning program that gives participants an experience of being a great Coach, and the skills and resources to launch a Coaching practice or integrate Coaching into ministry or business.

The Art & Science of Coaching, a Transformational Christian Program consists of a 16-Day Program offered in two formats. Module 1 and 2 are offered online, and Modules 3 and 4 are offered in-person training. Module 5 begins once Module 4 is complete and takes place over the phone. It is the final stage of completion towards the ICF-ACTP requirements.

The International Coach Federation has accredited this program at the highest level: Accredited Coach Training Program. Completion of Modules 1-5 fulfills all the requirements for attaining the second level of Coach Accreditation with the ICF; Professional Certified Coach. The entire course includes 125 Hours of training, 6 Mentor Coaching Sessions, and ICF competency testing. Here is a detailed explanation of the Certification and Accreditation levels and processes, and how The Art and Science of Coaching, a Transformational Christian Program (TASC) fits into that structure.

The International Coaching Federation, the largest Coaching body in the world has three levels of Accrediting; Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Professional Certified Coach (PCC), and Master Certified Coach (MCC). TASC is an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) and includes:

  • A minimum of 125 hours of coach-specific training.
  • A minimum of 6 observed-coaching sessions with an experienced coach.
  • A comprehensive final exam that evaluates a student's coaching competency.
  • Certified graduates the opportunity to apply for an ICF credential using the ACC, PCC or MCC ACTP graduate application
ACTP is the highest level of Accreditation and TASC includes everything you need to become Accredited with the ICF except for the actual coaching hours required by the ICF.

Modules 3 and 4 are the in person trainings that fulfill the remaining hours needed to reach the 125 hours required by the ICF. These two modules are 4 days in length and is a combination of explanation, demonstration, and hands-on exercises. Completion of Modules 1-4 earns you the qualification of "Certified Professional Coach" from Erickson College International (different than Professional Certified Coach from the ICF). For many coaches this level of training is sufficient to build a coaching practice, or use coaching within their existing business, or ministry. The investment for Modules 3-4 is $1,900 USD.

Module 5 is an optional 12 week telecourse, 6 mentor coaching sessions, and the comprehensive final exam. The telecourse is a weekly call focused on refining, mastering, and integrating the course material to enhance your abilities, and prepare you for the exam. The investment for Module 5 is $2,550 USD. This is a real bargain; I recently spoke with a graduate of an ACSTH course who paid $3,000 USD just for 6 mentor coaching sessions, and the examination! Completion of Module 5 earns you the qualification of Erickson Certified Professional Coach, and once you have the required number of coaching hours as required by the ICF; 100 for ACC, 750 for PCC, MCC is currently being reassessed, you will have everything you need for becoming Accredited by the ICF.
