For this reason, it is important to make sure high standards are kept when it comes to professional coaching. What does ICF credential mean for a professional coach? ICF credential is evidence of the fact that you have a deep understanding of the highest standards in coaching and have demonstrated a mastery in them. They declare to the world that you are a professional coach who is recognized for their coaching excellence. In order to become an ICF recognized coach you need first of all to go through coach education that is approved by ICF.

Depending on the level that you apply for, the number of training hours that you are required to complete increases and the same applies for the number of client coaching hours. You are also required to have at least 10 mentoring hours, complete a Coach Knowledge Assessment and go though an oral examination to prove your competence.

You cand read more about the 3 paths on the ICF website here. ACTP means start to finish or all-inclusive coach education. Such a program includes all the training hours, mentor coach hours and oral examination that ICF requires.

After you go through the program with CoachCompanion you will receive a certificate which proves this. It all depends on how many client hours you have. The program is structured as 4 modules, spread over 8 days, with each module covering 2 days each. Note that the class size is limited to 12 participants.

Of course, the core competencies are strongly connected with one another, so even though different module will focus on certain core competencies it is important to remember they all build one another.

After module 1 the participants get concrete tools to get started with coaching with their practice clients. In module 2 the participants get a number of exercises that lead to increased self-awareness in the client and help them set goals that are aligned with their true selves. This module develops your coaching by offering new and diverse tools to help the client to evoke awareness, challenge and explore the current and future patterns of behaviours, thinking and emotion.

A buffet of different tools is introduced and practiced, such as using the senses, the space and pictures. In module 4 the participants practice merging what they learned so far about the core competences and use them to form their unique coaching style. We also practice process coaching coaching feelings and by that we take the coaching to an even deeper level. Diploma Day is an extra day reserved for all participants to showcase their coaching skills after finishing the program.

The oral examination consists of a coaching session with an examiner assessed over a minute phone conversation. The day concludes with a Diploma Ceremony, when we reflect on our coaching journey and celebrate with champagne! The diploma is recognized by ICF and it states the number of training hours 65 , mentor coach hours 5 and practice clients hours 15 that the participants achieved as part of the ACTP training.

Experiential learning is the most efficient way for acquiring new skills that remain with you. You get concrete tools that you can immediately put into practice, while you also get to experience their impact on yourself.

All our programs are based on experiential learning: this means we rarely use presentations and lectures in-class. The learning is done through a lot of practice and exercises where the participants learn by doing, observing, experiencing, self-reflection and feedback from their peers, which are essential for creating awareness and making an impact.

Of course, handouts and materials are sent at the end of each module, but practice is the key. We use this metaphor to refer to the sleeping power source of the untapped potential which we bring to life. For long-term results we discovered that self-awareness is the key element to help clients achieve goals.

Anchoring the goals into a strong foundation ensures their fulfilment. With very carefully chosen exercises and experiential learning you set a goal from knowing your true self and your values.

From knowing what gifts and talents you have and with awareness of your dreams and visions you find the energy and power; and in this you find your motivation to reach your goals. What you focus on grows! This is something that guides us as coaches and is also deeply rooted into the way we do training and into the flow of our coaching programs.
