Series Four:
Become A STAR Factor Coach
STAR Factor Coaching Series
This program is designed for individuals committed to a year-long training to become a certified STAR Factor coach. It requires a group of at least five participants and includes:
- Five full days of training
- Six coaching sessions for participants
- Six sessions of coaching a colleague or friend
- An internship with guided supervision
- A presentation of learning before a panel
Once certified, you can provide coaching independently with an agreement or work for STAR Factor if work is available.
For individuals who cannot find a group but are interested in becoming a STAR Factor coach, please email us and we’ll tailor a program for you.
Certification implies you have demonstrated competence in the knowledge and skills of a STAR Factor coach. If you do not meet certification standards in the first round, there will be another opportunity to present before the panel at a future date. You are expected to coach an additional person to demonstrate competency in all noted areas. All coaches, whether certified or not, should continue with their supervision processes to strengthen their practice.
