Coaching for Transformation - Coach Training Program

• Individuals seeking to establish their own professional coaching practice.
• Professionals looking to enhance their existing skillset through coaching.
• Managers, leaders, aspiring leaders and executives who require greater personal and professional effectiveness in their role.
• Individuals who want to apply more effective communication and interpersonal skills personally and professionally.
• Coaches who want to refresh their coaching skills and gain an ICF credential.

Successful completion of this program allows the coach to apply for ICF membership and ACC credentialing with the ICF. 

Students engage in online classes, complete weekly self-study, practice, and work with a pro bono client.

An average of 2-3 hours per week is required to complete self-study readings and exercises outside of the group training days. Optional Extra Material is available for those who wish to do more. 

Participants are required to have at least 3 years work experience and the ability to undertake study at the equivalent and higher of Level 6-7 NZQA Standards (Diploma level).  

Our alumni enjoy ongoing support, lifetime access to our resources, and opportunities to stay connected and continue their professional development.

This program is grounded in the ICF Core Competencies and reflects internationally recognised coaching standards. We acknowledge that participants bring a range of cultural values, worldviews, and lived experiences to their learning.

NZIC respects Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognises the unique place of Māori as tangata whenua in Aotearoa New Zealand. While this program does not include cultural or tikanga-based coaching content (practices grounded in Māori cultural values, protocols, and ways of working), we are committed to creating a respectful and inclusive learning environment for all participants.

We encourage participants to reflect on how the material aligns with their own values, traditions, and professional context, and to adapt their coaching practice in ways that are culturally appropriate and meaningful to them.
