This section introduces the licensing pathway within the Hegeman Coaching framework.
Licensing is concerned with practising as a Life Coach within this framework rather than personal development. It relates to applying the principles of clarity, direction, and deliberate action when responsibility extends beyond the self.
Licensing is separate from personal courses and from coaching services offered to clients.
Who This Is For
Licensing may be relevant if you are considering working as a Life Coach and want a clear framework to practise from.
It is intended for those who are prepared to work independently and to take responsibility for their own practice, clients, and decisions.
Licensing is not designed for those seeking employment, guaranteed work, or certification without responsibility for professional conduct.
What Licensing Represents
Licensing provides alignment with the Hegeman Coaching framework.
It establishes shared standards for how the work is held, while leaving each Licensed Life Coach fully responsible for their own working style, client relationships, and outcomes.
Licensing does not involve employment, client assignment, or organisational oversight.
Licensing reflects an ongoing professional commitment rather than a one-time outcome.
Understanding the Licensing Pathway
Becoming a Licensed Life Coach follows a defined pathway.
This pathway is intended to clarify how training and licensing relate to one another and what readiness to practise independently involves.
The pages below explain the pathway and what licensing represents in practice.

Professional Sessions
From time to time, professional sessions may be made available to Licensed Life Coaches within the Hegeman Coaching framework.
They are separate from the Life Coach Training and are not required for completion or licensing.
The focus is on clarifying the work, deepening understanding, and examining its application in professional practice.
They also allow Licensed Life Coaches to meet, learn from one another, and work within a shared professional group.
Participation is optional and subject to separate invitation, scheduling, and pricing.
