Inuka academy
Inuka Academy - steps explained:
Training - Get started as a highly motivated, empathic human
We don't know wether it's our brand values or the way our blob smiles, but almost all people applying for coaching positions at Inuka are very kind, motivated and emphatic humans that have a genuine passion for helping others.
Screening
Training
The solid training program will show if the match is strong.
Practice
Fast but intensive practice period with real people, under guidance by our experts.
Exam
The exam with a therapist and expert coach ensures all Inuka coach elements are applied.
Start coaching at Inuka
Every Inuka coach has passed our strict quality expectiations. After the coaches passes the training and exam, the coach will start as an official Inuka Coaching method coach on the platform, under close guidance of our expert team.
Newbie period
After an Inuka coach has passed the training and examinations, they first will pass through a newbie period. During this period they get feedback from our expert team on all the coaching sessions they do until the team is 100% sure that the coach stays at the required high skill level the coach demonstrated during the training and examination. Then the coach graduates as an experienced Inuka coach. The Inuka coach journey does not end there as they will remain within the Inuka Academy as long as they coach with Inuka.
Experienced Inuka Coach
Experienced Inuka coaches have passed the Inuka academy’s screening, examination and newbie period and milestones. But the journey does not end here. All Inuka Coaches are part of the Inuka Academy Coach Quality System as long as they do coaching under the Inuka name. This means solid quality checks, continuous learning and feedback processes and being accountable for delivering actual, measurable outcomes for clients.

Inuka Coaching - top-quality coaching accesible for everyone
Our mission is to make top-quality coaching accessible to everyone. The problem we try to solve is that there is often no clear standard on what good quality coaching means in practice. There are clear and good coaching standards, but how this is translated to practice is up to individuals and everyone can call themselves a coach. Also, there is almost no scientifically published literature on coaching results. Therefore, our aim is to contribute to developing a top-quality coaching standard with actual, measurable results. This is a long journey we cannot and do not want to do alone, so we work together with recognized institutions, coaches, professionals and scientists.

Inuka is ISO27001 certified, and in the process of becoming ISO90001 certified. Both are globally recognized quality standards.
