ICF ACCREDITED COACH TRAINING
Coach Certification for students living in CANADA
Graduate with International Coach Certification & Your Own Unique Coaching Portfolio.
One of the things that makes ICA different from other coach training schools is that we have been online, global, and International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited for over 20 years. We were one of the very first schools to have their online course accredited by the ICF - and this was back in 2004, long before the days of online learning as we know it now. We have hands on knowledge around the barriers and challenges new coaches experience, and will equip you to coach anyone, anywhere in the world.
Our coach training programs and community now span over 126 countries. When you graduate from an ICA program, you graduate with a unique coaching portfolio that showcases who you are as a coach, and the problems you will solve. You will have the confidence, skills and knowledge needed to coach anyone anywhere in the world.
Learn The Skills. Define Your Niche.
Coaching has roots in a variety of theories and philosophies and can be found in an increasing number of industries and professions. It is not a singular practice. Consequently, it cannot be taught as such.
Our coaching programs will teach you the art and skill of coaching, and then encourage and support you to identify you coaching niche. Our Practice-based curriculum provides a thorough grounding in the latest theories and philosophies of coaching, whilst integrating the skills and concepts into practice with hands on Coaching Demos and participation in a Peer Coaching Program.
The Academic Schedule allows for you to work at your own pace within a structured curriculum, providing the required time needed for practice and reflection. The peer coaching program and coach development labs provide a safe space for you to test and refine your new coaching skills, with many opportunities for feedback and questions. It is a continuous cycle of growth.
You will graduate as a successful coach with the knowledge and expertise to confidently coach within a private coaching practice, a workplace, corporation, or within your existing career or profession. In this rewarding career, you will coach individual clients, teams or groups.

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 in Australia.
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

Certification and Credential Pathways
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).
What are Certification Pathways?
Certification pathways are where one program can lead into another, or where learning credits from partial completion of one program, can be credited to another program. Because, even the best laid plans, goals, or intentions can change. Your coach education needs to be able to change with you, and with ease.
As an example
You plan to add a coach approach into your workplace and choose a Level 1 program. But, as you learn more about coaching, you decide to pivot direction and pursue coaching as a stand alone career. With ICA’s training you can keep moving forward by crediting your level 1 participation or completion towards a Level 2 program.
What are ICF Credential Pathways?
Coach training certification leads to a coaching credential, with credentialing being highly regarded but optional. Too often we are approached by coaches who have completed their coach training only to find that it doesn’t 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.
Direct Credential Pathway
* Level 1 accredited study (ACSTH) pathways to an ACC credential
* Level 2 accredited study (ACTP) pathways to either an ACC or PCC credential
+ Level 3 accredited study pathways to an MCC credential (but only after completion of a Level 2 program and the achievement of PCC credential)
Pathways = Choices
Our programs are accredited with the peak body for coach education; the International Coaching Federation. There are direct pathways between all our programs and students may upgrade at any time without losing time or credit points.
What is Accreditation?
The ICF “accredits” programs via an application process that involves rigorous external scrutiny and quality testing. The program curriculum is mapped across core competencies, with faculty, assessment and learning processes all assessed.
In 2004 ICA was one of the first coach training schools to have an online curriculum and we remain one of the leading accredited providers worldwide.
