COACHING COURSES

PRACTITIONER OF COACHING CERTIFICATION (ICGCC0321)

CLAIM THE LIFE YOU WERE BORN TO LIVE…

During this 12 month (part-time) coaching certification, you will discover and put into practice the most important (and research-informed) personal development and coaching techniques to radically transform your life.  And you receive all the foundation skills you need to become a life coach, working with clients who pay you as you make a difference… 


This program is about you living life on your terms...

​

​

WHO THIS IS FOR

The Practitoner of Coaching Certification program is not a ‘motivational’ course or simply a coach training program. It’s about helping you create the transformation you want for you. We are inviting you to put yourself first. It is your time. Yes, you will be pushed outside of your comfort zone (which is what you are hungry for, even though it also seems a little scary), because we both know that you and I are programmed currently for a certain level of success, and what got us to where we are will not be enough to carry us to where we want to be. So together we will identify what has held you back, help you dump whatever is not working in your life, and support you as you propel yourself forward so you can live life on your terms.

 

The Practitioner of Coaching Certification could be the ideal starting point for your coaching journey. Click on what resonates with you the most to complete the short quiz that helps you determine 'Which Course is Right For You'…  Does this resonate with you?

COURSE OVERVIEW
 

HOW DO I MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

As a result of this program choice, you will be able to help others in a one-on-one coaching setting, and be skilled in connecting with the client, asking coaching questions, and helping the client become more in touch with their mind-body-emotion system. You will be able to assist your clients to become aware of, understand, and feel more connected to their own inner world, so they feel calm, focused, inspired, and capable. Your clients will be able to be goal-oriented, whilst being able to be present to the Now through a thorough journey into research-based mindfulness practices.

 

You will also discover the skills you need to attract your ideal coaching clients, using our proprietary system for client attraction.

 

Here’s exactly what you’ll achieve through this course:

YOU'LL BE COACHING PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO FOR THEM - AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Being able to coach someone to live their best life, overcome fear, become more confident, effectively set goals, and make decisions aligned with their best Self is rewarding and fulfilling. Our coaches get to make a difference each time they do what they are trained to do – help someone in a impactful and meaningful way. The training we provide you for this includes demonstrations of coaching sessions (live), step-by-step guidance on how to run your coaching sessions, personal mentoring from a trained coach who works with you individually, group sessions on a wide range of topics, and an online portal for easy reference and further development of your abilities.

YOU'LL BE SKILLED IN COACHING USING THE META DYNAMICS™ THINKING PROFILE

The Meta Dynamics™ profile is research-informed, and goes way deeper into the client’s experience than the ‘G.R.O.W.’ model favoured by most coaching schools. It is based on the four dimensions of experience – how we perceive the world, how we structure our world, how we operate within our world, and who we connect with in our world. Through understanding these four dimensions you become wonderfully clear on your prupose, your values, what drives you, what inspires you, and how to go about bringing your vision for your best Self to life. And we show you how to bring this same experience to life for your clients.

WORKING WITH YOUR FIRST PAYING CLIENT IN YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Included in this program we show you the exact steps to attract your first paying client, and then beyond this, how to build your coaching practice. We are the benchmark other coaching schools measure their business training by (with four of the other Australian coaching school founders having trained with us).

 

Having no experience in business or marketing is not a hindrance, as 97% of our students come to us with no experience in these areas. We teach you each step, provide guidance and mentoring, and give you upon joining the highly valued Ultimate Business Guide for ICI Coaches, which outlines the exact steps to take to have a thriving one-on-one coaching practice.

 

"The value I have received through the course material, the support team and social media platforms has been PHENOMENAL… No looking back for me! If you're interested in this profession, ICI will teach you the skills you need to step into this vocation with integrity and care. If you're on the fence, just jump in - it's incredible…”​

COURSE CURRICULUM
 

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

It’s much more than a coaching training, as our focus is to help you become the best version of yourself, so you feel empowered, inspired, and courageous as you build your life on your terms. Creating a life of our dreams is not by chance… It takes effort, but few people put their effort into what works. They are working hard at the wrong things, and feel frustrated and unmotivated (understandably!). So let’s focus instead on what works – the right strategies to overcome our limits, bust through whatever is holding us back, and do it whilst being supported, guided, and championed. We believe in you!

​

And we will train you to be a coach…

PART I | YOUR FOUNDATIONS TRAINING

FOUNDATIONS OF COACHING SKILLS EXTERNSHIP (FOCSE) TRAINING

​

All coach students, regardless of their coach training level, have the opportunity to attend the Foundations of Coaching Success Externship (FOSCE for short), which is the signature three-day event where you discover the foundations of coaching. You are guided through these foundation skills with experienced and successful coaches who have their own coaching practices. You also get to meet other like-minded people and practice the introductory coaching skills.

 

Covered in this three-day training:

 

  • Introduction to Coaching

  • The Core Principles of Coaching

  • The Foundations to a Coaching Session

  • Demonstration of a Coaching Session

  • Practice of a Coaching Session

  • The Foundations of Client Attraction

 

And you are walked through your next steps, depending on your course choice (Practitioner of Coaching Certification, Master Practitioner of Coaching Certification, or the Professional Coach Certification).

 

Following this training (or before, it depends on when you join us), you have access to online, self-paced learning…

​

​

PART II | YOUR SELF-PACED LEARNING
 

FOUNDATIONS.png

All of the following modules contain within them extensive classes and research-based handouts, with references for your further reading and study should you want to. There are videos, handouts, reference lists, practices to do, and quizzes, so you are learning in multiple modalities.

  • 01 | YOUR CONSCIOUS LIFE
    This is one of the most popular modules we provide in this program. It is twelve classes on everything from compassionate mindfulness practices, letting go of harmful habits, and becoming deeply connected to our own self-love, through to detailed, step-by-step guidance on effective goal setting methodologies.
  • 02 | YOUR META DYNAMICS™ THINKING PROFILE
    This is one of the reasons our courses have been so popular for so long. The Meta Dynamics™ thinking profiling tool (research-informed by our own research team) gives you a great way to introduce coaching to a potential client, as it gives them insights into themselves and how they ‘tick’. And it gives you self-awareness about your patterns that may be helping (or hindering) you as you strive to thrive. This module goes into detail on what the tool is, how it works, what it tells us, and how to use it for yourself and your clients. On joining you are also given (free of charge) one Meta Dynamics™ profile for yourself, and one of our coaches will unpack it with you, so you can start learning about yourself in minutes from now…
  • 03 | YOUR FIRST 12 META DYNAMICS™ COACHING SESSIONS
    One of the pieces of feedback we hear often from coaches who are starting out is they are not sure what to do in the coaching sessions. This makes sense, as they are new to this, so guidance is essential. In this module, and over many classes, we walk you step-by-step through how to coach a client for their first twelve sessions (or more), so you can feel secure knowing you are not doing this alone.
  • 04 | THE 15 ICG CORE COACHING COMPETENCIES
    The International Coach Guild was founded in 2014, built on fifteen core competenices (and 38 business modules, which we also teach you). These competencies cover everything from our attitude as a coach, the coaching session set up, the coaching space, being present, listening, questioning, facilitating change, and making progress with your client. This is a solid grounding in what works as a coach, and sets you up with a thorough understanding of the elements of successful coaching.
  • 05 | THEORETICAL & EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR COACHING
    Probably one of the most important (and geeky) modules you receive, this module goes into the history of coaching, the different modalities it has drawn on, what theoretical underpinnings shape this program and its coaching training, and provides a rich exploration of why what we do works. We also go into some of the key language patterns to become aware of as a new coach. In the next program (Master Practitioner of Caoching Certification) we go into even more depth and unpack the neuroscience of coaching, as well positive psychology and how attachment theory can impact our coaching.
  • 06 | ADVANCED LISTENING & QUESTIONING SKILLS
    As part of your training we provide a (free) program that gives you the foundation skills of listening and coaching questions. Here, we go into more depth around thorough listening, being present to ourselves and our clients, as well as unpacking purpose questions, D.A.R.E. model questions (Design, Access, Realise, Evolve) and much more. these classes combined with the previous modules on the coaching session means you are thoroughly trained in one-on-one coaching.
  • 07 | META DYNAMICS™ COACHING: EMOTIONS, NEEDS & BOUNDARIES
    Now we are going deeper into some of the most common and significant patterns in human behaviour that hold us back and lead us to settle for a life of discontent. It is not possible to emphasize enough the importance of being trained, familiar with, and able to know our emotional needs, our boundaries, and our emotions. This is what we call our Self-Esteem Triad (from Meta Dynamics™ methodologies, unique to ICI). We all have needs – they are universal – and they include feeling safe, connected, accepted, and understood, amongst others. Yet very few people are taught this, and even fewer live this. We show you, guide you, and help you ensure you know your needs, how they impact your decision-making and your relationships, and how to ensure your needs (they are not preferences) are met. And we also go into our emotions, and how to be self-accepting of them (essential for well-being), and our boundaries – those invisible lines that determine how we feel safe and connected. This is one of the most popular modules for our students.
  • 08 | META DYNAMICS™ THINKING MODELS & PATTERNS
    We all have what are called ‘safe’ versus ‘risky’ problems in our lives – some problems are there to keep us away from our essential nature (safe), and some are there to help us know our essential nature (‘risky’). We are mostly raised to avoid knowing our essential nature, and are taught instead how to hide our authentic self. This module is designed to unpack this cultural norm, guide you to our authentic self, and at the same time provide you with several Meta Dynamics™ methodologies for helping your clients transform their lives in the most positive way.
  • 09 | META DYNAMICS™ & NLP STRATEGIES & MODELLING
    The first part of a two part series (which continues into the Master Practitioner of Coaching Certification), this is the introduction to neuro linguistic programming that so many coaches value. We dive into how everything we do is a strategy, and that by understanding our strategy, we can learn why we get the results we have (whether they are what we want or not), and we can change our strategy if we want to change our results.
  • 10 | ICI ULTIMATE BUSINESS SUCCESS GUIDE: STEP-BY-STEP CLIENT ATTRACTION
    After nearly twenty years of helping people just like you go from no knowledge in coaching to having a thriving coaching practice, we know what works. Allow us the honour of guiding you through the steps required to set up your coaching practice, have paying clients, and feel great about what you do. Our method works and is well-proven, with thousands of people from around the world having shared their success stories.
  • 11 | CLIENT ATTRACTION: FROM CURIOUS TO COMMITTED
    You may not be ready to work with paying clients immediately, and that is okay. And maybe you never will – we have plenty of people raving about this program because of the benefits it has given them, their life, and their relationships. However, if you decide you do want to work with paying clients, you will need to know how to convert someone in a free coaching session from ‘free’ to ‘fee’ – or curious to committed. This is where we walk you through the eight steps to doing exactly this. It’s easy once you know how.
  • 12 | HOW TO EARN BACK YOUR COURSE INVESTMENT WITHIN 18 MONTHS
    We are one of only two schools in the world to provide a guarantee like this – if, as a result of graduating on time, and using our proprietory system for client attraction, you don’t earn back your course fees within 18 months (yes, your entire investment), we will cheerfully refund all your investment and you can keep all the materials for free. And in this module we provide step-by-step guidance on how to achieve this goal. Many have. Even those who never believed they could!

Allow us the honour of guiding you through the steps required to set up your coaching practice, have paying clients, and feel great about what you do. Our method works and is well-proven, with thousands of people from around the world having shared their success stories.
  • 11 | CLIENT ATTRACTION: FROM CURIOUS TO COMMITTED
    You may not be ready to work with paying clients immediately, and that is okay. And maybe you never will – we have plenty of people raving about this program because of the benefits it has given them, their life, and their relationships. However, if you decide you do want to work with paying clients, you will need to know how to convert someone in a free coaching session from ‘free’ to ‘fee’ – or curious to committed. This is where we walk you through the eight steps to doing exactly this. It’s easy once you know how.
  • 12 | HOW TO EARN BACK YOUR COURSE INVESTMENT WITHIN 18 MONTHS
    We are one of only two schools in the world to provide a guarantee like this – if, as a result of graduating on time, and using our proprietory system for client attraction, you don’t earn back your course fees within 18 months (yes, your entire investment), we will cheerfully refund all your investment and you can keep all the materials for free. And in this module we provide step-by-step guidance on how to achieve this goal. Many have. Even those who never believed they could!
