The Academies Transfer Programs

Regardless of training completed, please fill out our Transfer Survey and email your certificates to Coaching@TheAcademies.com prior to registering to ensure we can support you in finishing your Level 1 or 2 Program. Registering for a course without completing the Transfer Survey and emailing your certificates may result in higher rates for separate purchases, and the chance that a transfer is not possible.

To receive your Level 1 Certificate from The Academies, you must meet both the ICF requirements, and The Academies standards for coach training.

The Academies: Level 1 Requirements

In order to meet The Academies training standards, any participant transferring into a Level 1 program must complete the following: 

• A minimum of one coach training course (choose from our foundational or advanced options)
• A minimum of three individual mentor sessions (purchased separately)
• An audio review and performance evaluation passed at the ACC level

To receive your Level 2 Certificate from The Academies, you must meet both the ICF requirements, and The Academies standards for coach training.

The Academies: Level 2 Requirements

In order to experience and meet The Academies training standards, any participant transferring into our Level 2 program must complete the following: 

• A minimum of one coach training course (choose from our foundational or advanced options)
• A minimum of three individual mentor sessions
• An audio review and performance evaluation passed at the PCC level

Our foundational courses (CCMC & CELDC) provide 33.5 training hours each, including 5 hours of group mentor coaching.

Our advanced courses (ACSC & CLEIC) provide 31 training hours each, including 2.5 hours of group mentor coaching.

If one course is not enough to meet the remaining requirements, you are welcome to enroll in more than one course, or purchase additional group or individual mentor sessions.

We do not accept transfers with fewer than 21 hours of ICF-approved coach training. If you have completed fewer than 21 hours, please plan to enroll in one of our Level 1 Programs.

The Academies will not issue a Level 1 or 2 certification for a coach who has not successfully completed at least one full 10-week course offered by our organization. If you have fewer than 33.5 training hours left to meet either Level 1 or 2 requirements, you must still enroll in one Academies’ course and complete all course requirements. 

Our regular rates for courses are listed here. Depending on your needs, package rates may apply.

Payments will be collected prior to the start of your first class with The Academies. If you are choosing a payment plan, the first payment must be remitted before the start date of your first class with The Academies.

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

Should you wish to transfer to a different cohort with a starting date within 12 months of the original starting date (subject to space availability), a $350 administrative fee applies and an additional charge equal to the difference in price if the course has increased in price.

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.

There is no refund available if withdrawing after 48 hours before your first class:

• If you are on a payment plan, all future scheduled payments will still be drawn.

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.

To maintain an open and safe learning environment, The Academies reserves the right to not accept and/or dis-enroll a student from courses for any reason.  In this case, no refunds will be issued.
