NLCA is a forward-thinking group of coaches who desire to help more aspiring coaches realize their dreams.

Our goal is to properly train and equip coaches for lasting success in the industry. Many coaches and training programs lack integrity and we hope to change that.

Not only do we accredit coaching programs, but we also recommend specific training programs for aspiring coaches. If you’re already a coach and looking to take your business to the next level, we have partners who can help with that as well.

Our standards are high, but also realistic. We don’t believe becoming a coach should be out of reach to the common person. We support affordable training programs, and set realistic standards for aspiring coaches. It’s not our goal to make becoming a coach like getting a college degree. Coaching is about passion and purpose, not test-taking ability. It’s our goal to help aspiring coaches become professional coaches, and to ensure the training programs we recommend are effective and relevant to the current market.
