The Benefits of Coaching are Real and Tangible
Becoming a coach is not just a new revenue stream or change of career, it's a new way of being. Coaching will give you the freedom and flexibility to decide when and where you work, how often you work, and who you work with.

They graduate with lifelong networks and friendships, and a new way of approaching their work and life.
And with our programs - you self pace. With over 30 classes a week to choose from, you get to choose what days and times you study. Perfect for people with a busy work or family life. View Schedule

Coach Certification for Professionals
As the world continues to evolve with new ways of being and doing, it's not surprising that coaching has stepped forward as being a profession pivotal in facilitating positive change. As a coach you take on the role of advocate, sounding board and accountability partner. You will help people clarify their values, beliefs, feelings, and goals, and will hold a safe space for them to transform and thrive. Coaching is a profession with portability and a global application - meaning that with today's easily accessed technologies, you can coach anyone, anywhere in the world from your own home or office.
The Certified Professional Coach Program has been delivered via e-learning since 2001, and accredited with the ICF since 2004. Our coaches work locally and Internationally, and have all developed their own unique coaching model.

Our Unique Approach
At ICA we are unique in both our approach and the length of time we have been delivering our programs online.
Cutting Edge Instructional Design
The team of instructional designers who developed our learning platform in 2001 were amongst the first group of educators to develop and design online learning in Australia. The advantage this has given us as a school is that many of the teething problems and learning issues associated with online learning have been resolved
Inclusive Pedagogy
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.
Course Structure
The course is flexible and self paced, with a choice of following a structured path, or customising your own. Classes span across 6 days a week, with morning, afternoon and evening options. You can choose to take 1 class a week, or 5 classes a week.
Core Coaching Skills
Learn how to release judgement and give effective feedback in a workplace context.
Coaching Mindset
Develop the attributes of a coaching mindset (as opposed to consulting or training)
Reframing Tools
Learn 8 key perspectives that can shift any workplace situation and remove barriers to success
Practice Labs
Practice your skills in a small group setting with feedback from both Faculty and peers
Peer Coaching
Team up with fellow students and practice your coaching skills
Using the Tools and Resources in your kit, you can pick any issue and literally "flip" it on its head. The transformation is immediate and the outcome you facilitated as a coach is long lasting.
FlipIt is based on the idea that the way we see our world is a choice. The same event can happen to two different people and they will respond in completely different ways. As coaches we know that we cant change the world our clients live in, but we can change how they see it. We also know that some ways of 'seeing' are more empowering than others.
