The Professional Coaching Skills Certification and the Advanced Diploma in Coaching are the two ICF-accredited programmes we deliver.
The certification is a 75-hour coach training which gives participants the keys to build a strong foundation of coaching. Participants practice coaching skills they learn in the classroom setting, as well as theories and models that can help them understand their clients better. No previous coaching experience is necessary to join the certification. It allows people to apply to the ICF ACC accreditation via the Level 1 path.
The diploma is our 150-hour programme. In addition to building a strong coaching framework, it also includes coaching psychology theories and advanced techniques like CBT, humanistic coaching, and somatic coaching. It enables participants to coach at a more advanced level. The diploma allows coaches to apply to the ICF ACC and PCC accreditations via the Level 2 path.
It depends on what you are hoping to achieve.
If you want to learn coaching skills and apply for your ICF ACC credential, you may register for the certification. You will still be able to complete the advanced coach training at a later stage.
If you already know you want to commit to becoming a coach and apply for your ICF PCC credential one day, we recommend you enrol for the Diploma directly and complete both modules. Instead of paying two courses at the full price, you will save €1,000 on the advanced course.
Both modules of the diploma are delivered in English.
The Advanced Diploma in Coaching is for anyone who wants to develop a solid foundation in coaching with an extensive knowledge in psychological theories and models.
You do not need to have previously coached in order to join the programme.
The Advanced Diploma in Coaching comprises two modules:
Both modules are 75-hour programmes and include live classes, videos and reflections, self-study, and group and individual mentor coaching.
It depends on when you register for module 2. If you want to complete both modules one after the other, it can take 6 to 8 months to complete the diploma (depending on the training dates and your commitment to complete the asynchronous part of the training).
You can read more about our approach here.
Because our approach is centered on the whole person, rather than the problem clients come to coaching for, graduates of the diploma can specialise in many different areas of coaching: life, career, leadership & executive, relationships, confidence, success, well-being, business, etc.
