Become a professional coach with an internationally recognised qualification in Coaching for Transformation

Our ICF accredited coach training education program equips you with the skills to empower individuals to achieve their goals and make their identified changes in order to create more fulfilment and meaning in work and life.

This online, live, and interactive program offers you the opportunity to become a confident and skilled coach with a thorough understanding of the ICF Core Competencies and Ethics, along with coaching models, concepts, and techniques to support individuals and groups to create sustainable change.

Our approach to training is aligned with the practice of coaching. We engage participants in discussion, experiment with new awareness and skills, and reflect on what we learn. Each day of the program involves participant interaction and practice.

We believe coaches must continue to build their own personal awareness to provide the best value to their clients. Because of this we weave the learning of coaching skills with your own personal insights and awareness as a coach to increase your capacity to positively impact the lives of others.

Our ICF accredited coach training program offers you a pathway to become an internationally credentialed coach. As a credentialed coach with the International Coaching Federation, you will join more than 50,000 members in more than 150 countries around the world and be able to enjoy the benefits of instant credibility and increased visibility as a coach who has met stringent education and experience requirements.

    What our Alumni say:

    "The facilitators were flexible, on task, reliable, timely, professional but also down to earth. They led us well, and in effect were the best role models to a group of aspiring coaches. Everybody was treated equally, and different personalities were catered for seamlessly; we were neither judged nor assumed, we were known and respected, we were challenged and encouraged, loved and nurtured."
    - Julie Phillips, ICF Certified Coach
