What are the requirements to meet before entering the program?

We have 3 important requirements that we ask all participants to consider before signing up to any of our programs:

Participants must be able to attend all classes and must be in the right mindset to practice coaching. The learning is intensive, so it is important to choose a training format that best suits your learning style and preference.

Participants must join the training from a private, quiet location where they will not be distracted during classes and the coaching sessions they will facilitate. This is to maintain focus as well as honor the confidentiality of their client’s sessions.

 The participants’ Internet bandwidth needs to be good enough to join a Zoom call with video and audio from your laptop.

These requirements are essential to maintain a positive and enriching learning experience for you and also for the group.

Regarding specific background, experience, or education, there is no requirement. Anyone interested in learning and practicing coaching skills can join. Though most of our students have already practiced coaching one way or another, some have never formally coached before.

What else do I need to know about the program?

Aside from all the information listed above, it is important to know that you will practice coaching a lot during the program. You will coach and be coached each time we meet on real topics.

Being coached so much can be difficult for some people. There are two reasons we included so much real practice:

The first one is that coaching is an art that can only be perfected through practice. You can learn the theory but it is only when you coach that you can improve your skills.

It is essential that you also experience coaching as a client so you can see the different styles of coaching from other participants, as well as increase your self-awareness and reflective practice.

What are the requirements to get an ICF accreditation?

All the information about the ICF accreditations can be found on the ICF website. You can visit this page to read about the credentialing process for ACC.

How will I keep track of my coaching hours?

On the first day of the programme you will be provided a template of a Coaching Log and you will be explained how to use it.

How can I get so many paid coaching hours before being certified?

You can practice paid coaching in different ways. The ICF defines “paid coaching” as follows:

Peer-to-peer coaching (coaching another coach and receiving coaching in return)

With paying clients (payment may be in any amount, or exchange of goods or services)

Internal coaching (as part of the coach’s employment)

Third-party coaching (when the coach receives payment from an organization for coaching a client. 

Payment may be in any amount or barter of goods or services).

Visit the ICF website for more information on the experience requirements.

Is the course enough to practice as a coach?

Yes, the course is enough to practice as a coach. The ICF accreditation is not mandatory. However, we strongly encourage coaches to aim for an ICF certification, which validates your training and experience and is highly recognised.
