ICF Coaching Certification

Overview

This programme takes practitioners through the International Coaching Federation's core competencies and prepares them for credentialing. It is aimed at people who intend to coach professionally — internally within an organisation, or in independent practice — rather than at those looking for an introduction to coaching concepts.

Delivery is built around live coaching. Participants coach and are coached from early in the programme, with observed practice and feedback against the ICF competency framework throughout.

Frequently asked questions

Does completing this make me an ICF-credentialed coach?

Completing an accredited programme is one requirement; ICF credentialing also requires logged coaching hours and a performance evaluation submitted to the ICF directly. Confirm exactly which requirements this programme satisfies.

Do I need prior coaching experience?

Entry requirements to confirm. The programme is designed for people intending to coach professionally, so some prior leadership, HR, or advisory experience is usually helpful.

Can my employer sponsor me?

Yes. Corporate sponsorship is common, and Impact can invoice an organisation directly. For groups, in-house delivery is usually more economical — speak to an advisor.

How much of the programme is live practice?

Ratio of taught content to observed practice to confirm. Observed coaching with feedback runs throughout rather than being concentrated at the end.
