Completing the entire pathway leads to certification as a CNM Certified Coach, for those seeking a full spectrum of coaching expertise.

CNM’s Coach Training Program is an immersive, hands-on experience that builds essential coaching skills to help clients improve their well-being. Upon completing 40 hours of CNM Coach Training [either through (1) Financial Coach training or (2) Coaching 1.0 Training and Coach 2.0 Training], you’ll be eligible to apply for CNM Coach Certification, a nationally recognized credential that validates your expertise, demonstrates your mastery of coaching tools, and distinguishes you in the field. Certification requirements include 45 hours of documented coaching practice, three mentor coaching sessions, two recorded coaching sessions for review, two reference letters, a coaching user agreement, and a completed application.

CNM Coach Certifications require annual renewal. Every three years, you’ll need to complete 40 hours of continuing education from ICF and/or BCC.
Explore ICF continuing education trainings and BCC continuing education trainings that count for acceptable hours. CNM Coach Training may also provide CE opportunities, so check this page regularly for updates.
We recognize many other coaching and financial-related trainings offered by local providers. If you’ve completed a training that isn’t listed here, please email [email protected] to see if it can be applied toward your continuing education requirements. Mentor Coaching Hours may also count toward your continuing education requirements.
We’re evolving the way we support coaches-in-training as they build confidence, experience, and community. Our Peer Accountability Partners initiative created some wonderful connections, friendships, practice opportunities, and momentum toward CNM Coach certification. At the same time, we’ve learned that sustaining consistent pairings requires a critical mass of participants and ongoing coordination that isn’t always possible. So, we’re excited to introduce a new option: Practice with Robin, an online platform designed to make finding and maintaining peer coaching partnerships easier, more flexible, and more accessible. Through Practice with Robin, you can connect with coaches beyond your cohort and even beyond your training program, find partners based on your availability and areas of practice, message and schedule directly in the platform, meet for real peer coaching, and automatically track your practice hours. Whether you’re working toward a credential, returning to coaching after a break, or simply wanting to keep your skills sharp, Practice with Robin gives you a place to practice as often as you need, on a schedule that works for you. Best of all, peer matching, messaging, scheduling, calls, and practice-hour logging are free. Think of it as taking the spirit of Peer Accountability Partners and opening the door a little wider: more coaches, more possibilities, more practice, and more room to find the coaching community that works for you.
