This question is difficult to answer, as there are a large number of coach training courses that train you in very different areas. A further training course to become a career coach, for example, cannot of course be compared with a coach for children and young people, for business, resilience training or human resources. All training or continuing education, further training courses have different content and duration, so we cannot recommend a course that you can complete quickly. Basically, you can say that a CAS, a Certificate of Advanced Studies, is a short continuing education course. It usually lasts one semester, i.e. half a year, and is completed alongside your job. Nevertheless, these CASs are usually aimed at people who are already working in the field of supervision, consulting, training or coaching and want to continue their education, training or coaching. As a newcomer, you need basic training that will enable you to help other people and support them in a wide variety of life and work situations. In this case, four hours a week for one month while working is not enough to give you the skills you need. You should therefore expect a longer training period and contact the individual schools, who will be happy to present their different training models to you. Full-time training or compact seminars may also be a sensible alternative for you. Simply use the contact button to get in touch with the individual coach schools and let them advise you.

Here you will find the right offers to become a career counselor:

• CAS Career Diagnostics & Counseling for Adults (UAS)
• MAS Vocational, Academic & Career Counseling (UAS)
• MAS Vocational, Academic & Career Counseling (Uni)

A certificate course is also offered on our website - but this is aimed more at experienced and qualified coaches (e.g. consultants, HR managers). Here you would have to clarify directly with the schools whether you are admitted.
