ICF Global Study Into Coaching (2020)
Clients are Looking for Certified Coaches
When coaching was a new profession, it was perfectly acceptable to simply call yourself a coach. But today, the coaching profession is well-developed across many industries and professions around the globe. So the need to specialise and showcase your uniqueness is increasing. International Coach Academy graduates hold an international certification that is recognized both globally, as well as locally within the USA.
You will graduate from your ICA program with the skills to coach anyone, anywhere in the world. But we will also teach you how to specialize and attract clients.
Here’s how we can help you:
- We will look at Your Background
See how it intersects and how it can be blended with coaching.
- We will ask you two specific questions
Who do you want to coach? And how do you want to coach?
From this, you will create your own niche and coaching model. Additionally, you’ll be able to showcase your unique strengths, coaching skills, and expertise to future employers or clients.

TUITION, PARTICIPATION, CERTIFICATION
for Students Living in the USA or Latin America
Every coaching training program has set number of hours and participation requirements, with the full program released at the time of enrolment. Fees can be settled via a single payment (with 5% saving) or via a payment plan (interest free).
Programs are 'all inclusive', meaning there are no hidden costs or learning hurdles. The curriculum offers a beginning to end Level 1 or 2 certification, with direct pathways to ACC or PCC credentials via the ICF Level 1 or Level 2 tracks.
A Level 1 program can pathway into a Level 2 program, but it is not a requirement because each program has been structured as a 'beginning to end' certification. One program, once price. There's no hidden extras or hurdles, and no need to scaffold or jigsaw courses on courses. It's as simple and transparent as it looks.
* Students who join a Level 1 program exit with a level 1 Certification. They can apply for ACC via the ICF's direct Level 1 track.
* Students who join a Level 2 program exit with a level 2 Certification. They can apply for ACC or PCC via the direct Level 2 track.
Coach Training Schools will differ in personality, culture, credibility, accreditation, curriculum, delivery and quality. This will often be reflected in the price of their programs.
When comparing program tuition between schools, it's important to consider 'sameness' and 'difference', and how each school aligns with your coaching goals, budget and expectations.

Certification and Credential Pathways
Coach Certification is now considered essential. Coaching Credentials are optional (but highly regarded).
Our e learning is accredited with the peak body for coach training; the International Coaching Federation (ICF). The accreditation process ensures a school is aligned with ICF's International Standards and includes rigorous scrutiny and quality testing of the school's program structure, course material and delivery. Each coaching program's curriculum is mapped across the ICF core competencies, with faculty, assessment and learning processes all assessed.
You will graduate as a Certified Coach, with the option to pursue an ICF credential such as Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or Professional Certified Coach (PCC).
Too often we are approached by coaches who have completed their coach training only to find that it doesn't directly pathway to an ICF credential. Their choices are limited to not pursing a credential, pursuing a credential via a portfolio pathway (time consuming and expensive), or returning to study and completing Level 1, 2 or 3 training. So, even if you don't think you will need a credential, keep the option open by pursuing ICF Accredited Training.

The Applications and Opportunities That Come With Coaching Certification
When we began training coaches in 2001, it was with a small cohort of 20 students. Nearly all wanted to walk away from their existing careers to become 'Life Coaches'. This has very much changed with our coaching community now spanning 126 countries, with many choosing to pursue professional coach certification that considers or is integrated with their existing skills, profession or interests.
Coach Practitioners with their own coaching practice will coach clients within a chosen niche, as an executive coach within the workplace, or as a corporate coach within organisations. Their business might be F2F or online, and might be with individuals, teams or groups. However, the trend for Managers, Leaders, and Medical or HR professionals to blend coaching with their existing profession is an increasing trend.
The scope and financial reward for coaches is unlimited. Our coaches graduate with the coaching tools and expertise to coach across any specialisation
Below are just a few of the niches chosen by our coaches
- Life Coaching
- Transformational Coaching
- Health and Wellness Coaching
- Spiritual Coaching
- Career Coaching
- Business Coaching
- Retirement Coaching
- Executive Coaching
- Relationship Coaching
- Sober Coaching
- Equestrian Coaching
- Expat Coaching
- Sales Coaching
