Scheduling and Cost Information for BBC Spring 2026

The cost of the program is $3200 (US$). (Payment plans available at no additional cost.)

At Hornick School of Coaching (HSC) , we aim to provide the world’s best coach training at the lowest cost. We don’t know of any comparable program that costs as little. We are proud of that.

Becoming a Better Coach (BBC) has some scholarships support available (and some work study). Please email us at [email protected] if you are not able to pay the full tuition and would like to explore those options.

Scheduling

The program runs for about 3.5 months and requires–on average–seven hours per week of your time. We give you this level of detail because scheduling is a key element of what makes a coaching program right for most adults. The time is used as follows.

About half of the BBC schedule is fixed. The other half is variable, flexible to your schedule.

All the activities are live, with other people, online. Almost all the content sessions (which are jam packed) and the smaller group sessions are experiential and engaging. Only the homework, listening to or watching recordings of master coaches, is just watching talking heads. While there is a long list of suggested reading and journaling is always a good idea, there is no required reading or writing.

The Fixed Schedule Events (36 hours)

The Kick Off Day, 10:00am to 4:30pm Eastern Time.
The Content Sessions are held on Tuesdays, from noon to 2:30pm Eastern Time. These are led by Joshua Hornick. (These sessions are recorded so if you have to miss a few of them, while it’s not recommended, it’s not a crisis.)

Somewhat Flexible Schedule Events (18 hours)

Group Mentor Coaching sessions, you will be able to choose from a range of times that we’ll send to you. You sign up for what fits your schedule.
The Critique Sessions you will likewise choose from a range of times that we will send you in early September. The critique sessions are attended by three students and one mentor coach. (Some are led by Josh Hornick.)

Very Flexible Schedule items (32 hours)

The three Private Mentor Coaching sessions, you will schedule with your mentor coach at a mutually acceptable time.
The 20 Community Coaching sessions, you will schedule with your CCP clients at mutually acceptable times.
The homework, observing coaching sessions, you will do at your own convenience.

Note: If you miss Private Mentor Coaching sessions or Critique Sessions that you schedule, you will need to pay $100 to reschedule the mentor coach’s time.

There are 20 seats available in the program. First come, first served.
