Hornick School
of Coaching
The world's best coach training at the most affordable cost to individuals who will extend the benefits of coaching to people and organizations who don't yet have it.
What Makes Us Unique
First of all, it's the teaching, the careful choice of content and the way it is explored. When you were in 7th grade, was there one teacher that all the students loved? Joshua Hornick is like that teacher. Every session of every class is so good.
“Hornick is a deep thinker, a first-rate coach, and an extraordinary teacher. This is the only ICF-accredited coaching certification program that I recommend." Steve Chandler.
All programs carry ICF credits.
HSC is also unique in its commitment to accessibility.
There are no comparable programs that are as affordable. We know of many that cost two, three, or even four times as much.
Our Promise
If you are someone who believes that people have it inside them to become so much more than they are now, and
If you want to be a person who helps others to step into what's possible for them,
Engaging with The Hornick School of Coaching will change your life.
