Chapel Hill, North Carolina July 10, 2014 – Retirement Options, the leading global provider of retirement coach certification and retirement readiness assessments, announced today that seven new coaches from across the globe successfully achieved their certification to become a Certified Retirement Coach. The ten-week certification course provided in-depth training in two non-financial retirement planning assessments, the Retirement Success™ Profile and the Life Options™ Profile, ensuring that coaches are well versed in the use of these scientifically designed and validated assessment tools.
Those certified included Theresa Gale of Transform, Inc., Chan Mei Ying, Peter Amiradaki of PA Consulting, Pamela Houghton of Retirements Unlimited, Karen Bilter of Naples Life Coaching and Skill Development, David Allard of Navigation Wealth Management and Stephen Warren. The webinar course provides coaches the opportunity to earn up to 36 Continuing Coach Education hours as approved by the International Coach Federation.

“Congratulations to these coaches on achieving their Certified Retirement Coach designation,” shared David P. Hemmer, President and CEO of Career Partners International, the parent of Retirement Options. “The number of individuals approaching retirement is on the rise with the aging baby boomer generation. Combine this with an increase in the demand for retirement coaching outside of financial planning, and this certification will certainly add immense value to their coaching practices and their clients.”
