Over 20 years delivering Online Coach Education, with the perfect
mix of structure, flexibility and accountability.
Choose when, and who, you coach.
Coaching is no longer the ‘new kid on the block’. The ability of a great coach to completely transform outcomes is now widely accepted, and with this comes an increase in demand for great coaches.
As a career choice Coaching offers both autonomy and financial reward. But more importantly it offers the opportunity to work in an area aligned with your interests, values and expertise. Plus you get to choose where, when and who you coach.
Our students are motivated and inspired people who have a unique ability to see the greatness in others. They live and work all around the world, often travelling and relocating with their families to take on new challenges. No matter where you are, there is always community to connect with at ICA.

How Does Certification Work?
We assume that everyone who comes to coaching has a wealth of experience, knowledge or interest, that touches on coaching. Our job is to provide you with an online curriculum that is challenging and engaging, and a coach certification that qualifies you to coach anyone, anywhere in the world.
Certification is a recognized statement of attainment that indicates you have been assessed by a training provider as having the industry recognized skills and knowledge required to practice as a professional coach. Your certificate will indicate the level of skill and achievement (eg. Level 1 ACC Accredited Coach Training, or Level 2 PCC Accredited Coach Training)
ICA coaches will begin to build their coaching portfolio from the moment they join ICA’s Coach Training. Our peer coaching program qualifies as pro bono or barter coaching, meaning it counts towards the accumulation of hours required prior to applying for an ACC or PCC credential.
Credentials are further attestation of your qualification & coaching competence.
To apply for an ICF credential you must be certified, and you must have a documented number of coaching hours. Certified Coaches can apply for ACC via the Level 1 or 2 track, or PCC via the Level 2 track. A PCC credential must be achieved before applying for MCC.
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)
Too often we have coaches come to ICA looking to ‘retrain’ because they initially chose the wrong program; one that either wasn’t accredited or didn’t pathway to a credential. Their journey could have been quite different had they known more about what is required to practice as a Professional Coach.
01
Coaching cannot be learnt in theory. It is the practice and implementation of theory in real coaching sessions that drives your learning higher.
02
Our time in the industry gives us hands on knowledge of the barriers and challenges new coaches experience. We know what to teach and how to teach it.
03
We deliberately appoint Faculty from a range of cultural and professional backgrounds. Coaching is contextual; no two clients are the same and there is no one size fits all.
