Opportunities

There are various options open to you when you are trained as a Coach.  Outlined below is a summary of these options and how the School can work with you in becoming established in the profession.

1.  Self-employed - Sole-trader business

You can set up as a business person, with your own business name, and be self-employed.  You might choose to work alone or gather together a group of coaches.  Either way, you will need a business identity, including business cards and a marketing strategy.  Most coaches choose this option. The NZ School of Coaching offers students with modules which address this option.

2.  In-house Coach

Many companies are beginning to employ trained coaches to work in-house.  In most cases, you will be salaried and will work with the staff within the company.  Sometimes, a company will contract you to work for them.  You will then need to be self-employed.  The School will help you set up the structure for you to do this work.

3.  Coaching Franchise

Usually aimed at the field of Business Coaching, Franchises are often available for the Coach to purchase.  The price of these will vary, from $20,000 upwards.  A franchise involves you working closely with a Franchisee or owner of the franchise.  The best place to locate suitable franchises is www.franchise.co.nz

4.  Affiliation/Co-operatives

There are many coaching co-operatives around the world.  Sometimes it is useful to investigate those you would like to be associated with.  They tend to provide a source of networking and resource for coaches.  This means you are still self-employed, and will need to put together a marketing plan.  The NZSC helps you do this.
