Coach U
To those seeking
to develop global leaders
Acquisition of Coach U
COACH A acquired Coach U, a coach training institution established in 1992. This acquisition made it possible to expand COACH A's businesses across the world, and broadened the range of services through the integration of the coaching resources accumulated by COACH A and the resources and networks of Coach U.
Information on the Coach U programs
Since the Coach U program is provided in English only, information on the program is provided in English as well.
Note that advanced English skills are needed to participate in classes. Although Japanese-language support is available during the application process, class enrollment and participation requires strong English-language skills. Please email
us for any inquiries regarding this matter: CUAsiaPacific@CoachU.com.
Over 20 years ago, COACH A signed a licensing agreement with Coach U and began offering the first training program for coaches in Japan. In 2019, after COACH A acquired Coach U, we started to bring Coach U's English programs to Asia.

Who is Coach U?
Founded in 1992, Coach U is the world's first coach training institute. Coach U has created programs that have enabled the communication skills of coaching to become something anyone can learn. Coach U has contributed to the development of coaching by training professional coaches at a time when there was no coaching profession except in the sporting world. Many of the most active coaches in the U.S.A. today are graduates of Coach U.
Thomas J. Leonard, Founder of Coach U, founded the International Coaching Federation (ICF) in 1995. The ICF, the largest governing body of coaching in the world, has established a global coach certification system and set the global standard for coaching through a variety of activities. The ICF has grown into a coaching organization with over 25,000 ICF certification holders and over 35,000 members. Coach U's Training Programs were one of the first programs in the world to be accredited by the ICF for coach certification (as an Accredited Coach Training Program: ACTP).
