The Advanced Diploma in Coaching is our all-inclusive programme. Over the course of 150 hours, it offers a blend of theory and practice that will enable you to grow your coaching practice and your confidence in a safe and supportive learning environment. By the end of the programme you will have a comprehensive knowledge of coaching skills, coaching ethics, coaching psychology and how to apply those in your sessions.
The diploma has been approved by the International Coaching Federation and granted the ICF ACTP programme accreditation. It enables graduates to apply for an ICF ACC and PCC accreditation through the ACTP path.
After module 1 which looks at the practice of coaching, module 2 will revolve around coaching psychology, an approach to coaching anchored in evidence-based techniques. The curriculum includes the most important approaches of psychology and how they can apply to coaching. Coaches not only gain a very solid theoretical knowledge, but they also master how to use it with their coaching clients

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 key 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 experience requirement is necessary to join the certification. It allows people to apply to the ICF ACC accreditation via the ACSTH path.
The diploma, on the other hand, is our 150-hour programme. It comprises the certification above, as well as an advanced 75-hour training which focuses on coaching psychology theories like CBT, psychodynamics and Gestalt, as well as advanced practice and supervision. It enables participants to coach at a more advanced level. The diploma allows people to apply to the ICF ACC and PCC accreditations via the ACTP path. To receive the diploma, you need to successfully complete both the certification and 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. Even though most of our participants have prior coaching experience, 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 7 full days of training, self-study, and individual mentor coaching.
You need to have completed the certification before the first day of advanced course.
It depends on when you sign up for module 2. If you want to complete both modules one after the other, it can take a minimum of 8 months to complete the diploma (depending on the training dates).
To receive the Advanced Diploma in Coaching you need to complete both modules.
You can skip the first part of the diploma and join module 2 directly if you already completed an ICF-accredited coach training of 60 hours minimum and/or received an ICF ACC accreditation. In this case you will receive a certificate of completion for the 75-hour advanced training. If you are interested, please contact us by email.
If you haven’t completed an ICF-accredited training and/or you are not already accredited by the ICF, you will need to join module 1 first.
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.
