Compare the listed price, CCE hours, format and subject below to find a course that matches your goals. These are short courses, not necessarily full coach certification programmes, so check the curriculum, accreditation details and current fees with the provider before enrolling.
Prices keep each provider's own currency, and USD conversions are approximate, so items near the $500 line may sit slightly either side.

Short courses differ widely in hours, price structure and purpose. Check these four things before you buy.
A low price can hide few hours. Divide the price by the CCE hours to compare courses fairly, and check whether the fee is one-off, monthly or paid in instalments. Also check what is included, such as recordings, materials and a certificate.
If you are adding hours to a credential, check the course length and how the hours are split between core competencies and resource development, since credential rules treat them differently. If you only want to sample a topic, a few hours is usually enough.
A short course lets you judge a provider’s teaching style, platform and support before you pay for a longer programme. Read the listing for format and access period, then confirm the details on the provider’s site.
Decide what you want to learn first, then choose a format: self-paced for flexibility, or live for interaction and feedback. Finally, match the course to your schedule: self-paced courses start whenever you do, and live cohorts list their dates so you can plan ahead.

Search this topicCourses under $500 are generally designed to develop specific coaching skills or provide additional learning hours, rather than cover an entire coach certification pathway. If you're looking to become a credentialed coach, check the training requirements of your chosen accreditation body and whether a course forms part of a recognised certification programme.
Courses listed on FindCoachTraining.com generally offer Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours, unless a listing says otherwise or the provider has changed the course. The number of hours and the type of education vary by course, so check each programme listing and confirm its eligibility with the provider before enrolling. We are a discovery platform only. To find out more, read our Terms and conditions.
Short courses cover a range of topics, including coaching presence, active listening, ICF core competencies, assessments and psychometrics, psychodynamic coaching and other specialist skills. The right course depends on whether you want to strengthen an existing skill set or explore a new area of coaching.
They can be a cost-effective way to develop specific skills, explore a coaching speciality or earn additional education hours. Compare more than just the price: look at learning hours, practical exercises, feedback, instructor experience and what is included in the course.
Both formats are available. Self-paced courses let you learn on your own schedule, while live courses offer scheduled sessions and potentially more opportunities for interaction. Check individual listings for the delivery format, access duration and any attendance requirements.
Start by identifying your learning goals, then compare course prices, CCE hours, topics, delivery formats and provider credentials. Consider the practical learning opportunities included, and confirm the total cost and course details directly with the provider before enrolling.
Prices and course details are collected from publicly available provider information and may change. We link to the original provider listing so you can verify the current price, course availability, inclusions and any additional fees before making a decision.
A short course typically focuses on a particular skill or subject, whereas a full certification programme generally follows a broader curriculum with defined training and assessment requirements. Completing a short course does not automatically qualify you for a professional coaching credential.
