Level 1: Leadership Coaching Pathway

We’re on a mission.

And so are you.

We’re all here to grow, to evolve, to expand, to be who we were meant to be.

Coaching, in our humble opinion, is the BEST way to make that happen.

So whether you want to start, continue, or finish your coach training – we invite you to become an effective, well-trained coach. 

Qualify to earn your International Coaching Federation (ICF) ACC credential through our Level 1 Leadership pathway.

    Certification Requirements

    Attendance: Attend 9 of the 10 live class sessions in each course

    Virtual Classroom: At the conclusion of each course, participants will be required to finish online classroom tasks with a 90% completion rate or more.  If 90% completion is not met, the coach will be issued a Certificate of Completion for the course in place of the credential.

    Buddy Coaching and Homework: Your classroom tasks will include one hour of buddy coaching on the even weeks of class along with short daily tasks or coaching recordings each odd week for a total of approximately one hour of tasks per week.

    Mentor Coaching: 7 group and 3 individual mentor coaching sessions with an Academies PCC-Certified coach are included in the price of the program.

    • You will complete 5 group mentor coaching sessions with your first course, and 2 group mentor coaching sessions with your second course.
    • Group sessions are locked into a schedule at the beginning of each course and typically take place the 5 (or 2) weeks following live sessions at the same day and starting time as your course.
    • Missed sessions require an individual make up session for $350 each.

    Upon completion of the above requirements, coaches will receive a display certificate suitable for framing and rights to use the course logos.

    Language

    All courses and programs are offered in English.

    Policies and Procedures

    Completion

    Participants must enroll in both courses within one year of the purchase date.  Extensions will only be granted under extreme circumstances.  If both courses are not completed within 15 months of the purchase date, participants will be required to purchase a new package at current pricing.

    If you do not complete all of the certification requirements, you will not be eligible to receive the full certification. Instead, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion for the hours you completed in lieu of certification.

    Payment

    In order to receive your certificate at the conclusion of the program, your course payment must be paid in full.

    Transfer

    If you need to transfer to another cohort for scheduling purposes prior to the start of your originally scheduled course, a $350 administrative fee applies along with an additional charge equal to the difference in price if the program has increased in investment. If you need to transfer after the cohort has already begun, please see our withdrawal policy.

      Withdrawal

      If withdrawing at least 48 hours before class 1 of your first course:

      • You will receive a full refund of the regular program price less a $350 administrative fee and any applicable discounts.

          If withdrawing after your first 10-week course and before your second 10-week course: 

          • The full retail price of the first course will be owed along with any additional services rendered and a $350 administrative fee.  The remaining balance will be refunded.

          Upon notifying us of withdrawal, we ask you to delete any course materials you may have downloaded.

          Removal
