The professional titles of life coach, life counselor, life coach or personality coach are not protected in Switzerland. Therefore, in contrast to other professional groups, there are hardly any legal barriers - not even a duty of confidentiality (secret, particularly sensitive personal data or personality profiles are, however, subject to the duty of confidentiality). In principle, therefore, any life coach in Switzerland can call themselves a life coach and offer a corresponding service - regardless of whether they work as a life coach without training. Legally, however, this creates a relationship of trust. Trust in life coaches is certainly greater if they have completed further life coach training or life coach training. Anyone who is aiming for a serious life coach career should therefore also learn life coaching.

Coach training can take place in very different ways. For example, there are seminars, courses and training sessions that fully train you to become a professional coach, as well as short introductory courses or basic courses that introduce you to the basics of coaching and consulting. Anyone seriously considering working in this field in the future, either as an independent consultant or as a supplement and second pillar to their existing work, should be aware that sound training and regular continuing education, further training are required. After all, in order to become a consultant, it is important both to know the theoretical approaches through coaching training and to be able to apply them usefully in practice.
This means that a short seminar lasting a few days will not be enough to provide you with the necessary technical, leadership, social and coaching skills for professional training, but it will if you just want to gain a first impression. Such coaching seminars are also extremely useful if you want to expand your skills portfolio, whether for private or professional purposes.
More extensive coaching training is also possible at postgraduate level at Colleges of Higher Education and Universities of Applied Sciences. The federally recognized diploma Advanced Federal Diploma of Higher Education (CHE) in Business Coaching is one of these options, as are postgraduate studies leading to a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Career Coaching (UAS) or a Master of Advanced Studies in Coaching & Organizational Consulting (UAS).
