Pioneers in Online Coach Education (est. 2001)
One of they things that makes ICA different from other coach training schools is that have been International and online since 2001. We were the very first Australian school to have their online curriculum accredited by the ICF - and this was long before the days of social media as we know it now. Our very first cohort connected internationally via downloadable course materials and live teleconferences for classes. Fast forward to 2022 and our global reach includes thousands of students and graduates living and studying in 92 different countries. They connect daily via the ICA learnsite and forum, zoom, facebook, wechat and whatsapp.

Online Learning = Flexibility, Community & Freedom
Never Miss a Class
Classes run mornings, afternoon, evening and weekends. You are the one that chooses the days and times you attend, with the option to fast track or take your time. But, our training is more than just attending classes, there’s also guided study, business building and portfolio development that can be completed outside of class time.
View Class ScheduleLearn what you want when you want
Some of our students choose to start at the beginning and move through to the end, but if you want to know about Systems Thinking & Coaching, you can also jump straight to that module and come back to the beginning at a later time.
Take your program with you when you move
Our students often travel at short notice; sometimes for work or conferences, sometimes holidays and sometimes country relocation. Our built in deferral system gives 6 months deferral at any time, and our platform can be accessed from any device in any location.
Make business connections and lasting friendships
Our Coaches Forum has over 62,000 posts from coaches in 90+ countries. The connections and strategic partnerships that are formed in this forum last for life. Our coaches frequently meet up with each other as they travel to different cities around the world.
The Drip Feed vs Fire Hose Method
We call traditional training, where you sit in a room and get fed information and knowledge for a block of days in a row, “fire hose delivery”. There is no way you can remember even half the content. Our approach is “drip feed” the learning, with plenty of time for reflection. We also teach “no single model” to allow you to discover your own unique identity as a coach.
Peer Coaching
With our global Peer Coaching platform you can be connected to the coach who is perfect for you, no matter where in the world they are. Coaching across cultures and experiencing the diversity of coaching styles is in valuable. Peer Coaching is only one part of our Coaching Practicum which also includes Coaching Labs, Observed Coaching and Mentor Coaching.
ICF Accredited Since 2004
We chose to align with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) because Coaching is a global profession and the ICF continues to be the most established and globally recognised peak body.
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?
With coaching, a credential designates a recognized level of expertise in coaching, as assessed by an industry peak body such as the ICF. This is represented by designations such as ACC, PCC or MCC.
I went from trying to change the whole world to trying to change one person at a time, and the first person I changed was myself.
