Lead with Purpose.
Serve with Excellence.
Transform Lives for God’s Glory.
You were made for more than an ordinary life. You’ve felt the call to help others rise — to speak hope into hurting hearts, guide them through change, and help them discover the life God designed for them.
This is where that calling becomes equipped.
The Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC) program at Anew University, founded and led by Dr. Leelo Bush, PhD, is the gold standard in Christian coach training. Here, faith and evidence-based transformation methods unite to create real, lasting change — for your clients and for you.
What Makes This Program Different?
This is not another self-help course. It’s the original, Christ-centered life coach certification created by the woman who pioneered Spirit-led coaching education in 2003 — now modernized and expanded under Anew University.
Dr. Bush’s timeless framework equips you with tools that are:
- Faith-rooted — grounded in Scripture and spiritual discernment
- Evidence-based — built on proven, real-world strategies that produce measurable results
- Transformation-focused — designed for personal and client breakthroughs
- Ethically sound — founded on biblical principles and integrity in practice
You’ll graduate not just with a certificate — but with clarity, confidence, and divine purpose.

Your Certification Process & Professional Path
When you complete the program, you’ll have mastered the skills, tools, and faith-based principles needed to coach others with excellence and confidence.
If you wish to become certified and use your credential professionally, you may add the Certification Package when you reach the conclusion of Module 12. This optional $180 package includes your final certification exam, professional evaluation, grading, credential processing, and the creation of a custom, beautifully designed certificate bearing your name and official signatures, ready for framing and display.
Many students enroll in this course purely for personal or ministry enrichment, while others pursue full certification for use in professional practice. The choice is yours! Either way, your training experience will equip you to help others create lasting change through Christ-centered coaching.
When you complete the program and pass your final evaluation, you’ll earn the Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC) AND Certified Christian Life Coach (CCLC) credentials — respected, faith-based certifications recognized by ministries, organizations, and clients worldwide.
NEW: Personalized Professional Pathway Blueprint — INCLUDED! ($5,000 Value)
Many people invest thousands of dollars with a professional coach after certification, to clarify their calling, niche, direction, and next steps. Others lose months — sometimes a full year or more — trying to figure it out alone through trial and error. Your Personalized Professional Pathway Blueprint is designed to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and direction after certification. Based on your stated goals, training experience, strengths, and God-given calling, we provide a written blueprint with recommended next steps for using your certification wisely and professionally.
Graduates may also:
- Add advanced credentials in Christian Counseling or Specialty Coaching
- Launch a private or church-based coaching practice

Your certification is more than a credential — it’s your commissioning to serve with excellence.
