Why choose Rhodes

Learning that goes deeper

Deeply experiential

You practice coaching in real time — on classmates, yourself, and eventually real clients — with hands-on, immersive activities from day one.

ICF-aligned curriculum

Built around the essential 8 Core Competencies of the International Coaching Federation, from active listening to powerful, thought-provoking questioning.

Live-interactive

Real-time video classes that closely resemble a traditional classroom — taught by caring, experienced instructors, not a self-paced course.

Designed around the student

Small by design

Cohorts capped at 14 students, so you get real feedback and real practice time with your instructors.

Flexible scheduling

Evening class options, twice a week, three hours at a time — built to work around a job or family schedule.

Holistic framework

Every Rhodes program runs on the Medicine Wheel.

Mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness aren't four separate offerings — they're one integrated philosophy you'll study and apply to yourself before you apply it with clients.

Graduate Stories

What it's actually like to go through the program.

Coming to Rhodes was a life changing experience. Coming out of the program, I felt prepared to support clients dealing with even the toughest situations, because we'd been given the tools and practice to show up in those moments.

Harj T.

Rhodes has me wanting to come back for more. I feel competent to begin my own practice, yet my experience here has been so positive I want to keep learning how I can help others even more.

Katarina L.

My experience at Rhodes changed my life mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The staff are supportive and knowledgeable — I'd recommend this college to anyone looking to better themselves.

Pierre B.

Right from the start they were supportive and kind. They listened, guided me, and helped in ways no school ever had. The students in my class were just as caring as the staff.

Kandy B.

The experiential learning worked extremely well for me — hands-on experience from day one. A handful of extremely skilled, compassionate instructors went above and beyond to support me.

Keisha V.

The best decision I've ever made was attending Rhodes. It provides a very solid education in theory, skills, and practical experience. I'm proud to be a Rhodie.
