    • FlipIt Framework

    Earn experience hours (pro bono and barter) towards an ACC or PCC credential with ICA’s Peer coaching.

    • Experience in the role of Coach
    • Experience in the role of Client
  • MENTORING

    Mentor coaching is a requirement for all level 2 certifications and ACC or PCC credential applications. At ICA, it’s included in your total program hours.

    • 3 hours One on One Mentoring
    • 17 hours Group Mentoring
  • EXAM PREPARATION

    We’ll prepare you for your final performance evaluation by listening to you coach and then sharing recommendations and feedback that will support you with your final exam preparation and submission.

  • YOUR COACHING MODEL

    A ‘one size fits all’ coaching model is fine for beginner coaches, but ultimately you need your own unique coaching model.  One that reflects your values and personality, and communicates to future employers and clients who you are as a coach and the problems you solve. We teach you how to create this.

  • YOUR COACH STARTER PACK

    With our support and guidance you will create your coach starter pack so that you are ‘client ready’ by the time you graduate. This includes a range of templates and suggestions for you to use or repurpose.

  • YOUR BUSINESS MODEL

    The last few years has seen a rapid uptake of online or virtual coaching. Having been online for 20 years we know this space well and will support you to get your business online, helping you to identify your signature offer, brand and social media strategy.

This course will teach you how to reframe a perspective using the ICA Coaching Power Tools and FlipIt Framework. 

Perspective is a point of view; a way of looking at or interpreting a set of events. We all have perspectives about our world and the circumstances we find ourselves in. And it’s your perspective that determines your experience in life, not your circumstances. While we cannot always change our circumstances we can choose to change our perspective at any time.

Lifetime Membership to CoachCampus

The status of alumni is a testament to your hard work, beliefs, and coaching expertise. Graduation marks a point in time where you are certified and can enter the coaching industry as a Professional Coach. But this isn't where your ICA connection ends. Your ICA Certification aligns you with the International Coach Academy (ICA) brand; a brand with over 20 years industry credibility and your affiliation is lifelong.  Alumni members also enjoy ongoing co-branding, networking, volunteer and learning opportunities to help grow your coaching confidence and business.

CLASSES IN ALL TIME ZONES

Our programs are delivered via e-learning

  • A school with 20+ years e-learning & industry credibility
  • Internationally recognised Certification (PCC accredited education)
  • Morning, afternoon, evening & weekend classes (fast track or take your time)
  • Linear (structured) or intuitive (flexible) study pathways
  • Peer Coaching and real life industry experience while you study
  • Lifetime membership with ongoing peer and faculty support

Our training is designed with adult learners in mind. It is flexible, taught by real world practitioners and aims to provide tangible value. It is also designed to cater to diverse cultural and educational learning styles. You can fast track, or take your time.

What is Linear vs Intuitive Learning

This program includes a set number of training hours but there’s flexibility within the structure.  You can either take classes sequentially (one after the other) as shown in your graduation checklist, or you can take them in an order that best suits your learning.

What does it mean to fast track?

Take Your Time: If you are wanting to take your time you would attend 1 class a week (any 1 of the shown times).  You work the classes in around your own personal schedule.

Fast Track: If you are wanting to fast track you would attend at least 3 classes a week on a regular basis.  This will require you to have some flexibility with your own schedule.

Who will be in my cohort?

ICA has ongoing intakes with new students joining each month.

But, unlike traditional cohort learning, where you are restricted to an allocated group with a set start and end date, you get to choose which group you join.  The commonality might be language, country or even niche.  You also have the option to create your own group.

In summary, you get to choose the people you would like to learn and connect with, and there’s students in over 126 countries also wanting to share and collaborate.

What days and times are classes scheduled

Classes and labs are scheduled across all time zones, with at least 6 options in each time zone each week (for 52 weeks of the year).  These times will include at least 1 morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend class or lab.

Is there a learning guarantee?

Enrollment in a Coach Training program is a commitment to both yourself and International Coach Academy. If within 45 days you have not found value in your learning then you can apply for a refund (less administrative fee) and have your attended classes and labs certified by ICA.   Read More
