Program FAQ's
What are the course start dates?
ICA offers a rolling program intake, meaning there are always coaching theory and development labs scheduled for newbies. You can start the day you join, with orientations held weekly.
How is the schedule structured?
Each program includes a set number of training hours. These will be a combination of live classes, guided study, reflection and self study. Each week there’s about 8 classes in your time zone to choose from. These will be scheduled morning, afternoon, evening and on the weekend, with most classes able to be taken in any order.
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.

How is the program delivered?
ICA’s e-learning platform was established in 2001 and includes downloadable modules, class schedules, curated resources, and a private forum. Participation includes classes, labs and guided study.
A class is theory based synchronous study where students dial into class via zoom. A trained facilitator (PCC or MCC) facilitates the learning and discussion.
A lab is practicum based synchronous study where students dial into class via zoom. A trained facilitator (PCC or MCC) facilitates the learning and discussion.
Guided study is asynchronous learning where ICA provides the resources and learning materials (module downloads, quiz, worksheets etc) for students to complete in their own time. This includes portfolio and resource development.
Does this program lead to a credential?
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation indicates that a school has had their program undergo rigorous external scrutiny and quality testing by a peak body.
What is Certification?
Certification is the recognized statement of attainment that indicates you have been assessed by an Accredited Coach Training Provider as having the industry skills and expertise required to practice as a coach.
What is a Credential?

Enrollment in a Coach Training program is a commitment to both yourself and International Coach Academy. If after 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
Stay Connected After You Graduate
As a coach you will actively engage with clients to help them create deep and sustainable change in their lives. As such, it's important that as a practising coach you are not only trained and certified, but that you continue to develop personally and professionally. For this reason, ICA's training is both deep and lifelong. We encourage our coaches to stay connected long after graduation.
