That’s completely ok and very normal. The ACCP is as much a personal development and self-discovery journey as it is a coach training qualification. Many of our students come to the course who have no intention of becoming a full-time coach (although by the end of the course this may change) but instead they hold a desire to learn more about themselves and to develop a set of life skills that will help them in their current role, future career or life (or all three). The course also helps people to tap into their inner knowing, building self-confidence, and a deeper understanding of themselves.

The course runs across 16 weeks and includes 126 hours in total training hours (including 20 hours of real-time coaching). This means on average your weekly commitment is around 5 - 7 hours, however some weeks will be much less and some more.

The great thing about the course is the blended learning approach we use as it allows flexibility to accommodate the busy-ness of life! Our course materials are available 24/7 (providing you have WiFi) and the only fixed call times are on the Live Zoom Calls which take place on 10 of the 16 Thursdays. All other calls and peer connections are arranged directly with the other person and can be agreed in alignment with your own diary and commitments.

We have trained CEOs, full-time parents, entrepreneurs, managers, leaders, practitioners within organisations and business owners. We will help guide you to manage your schedule and to be effective with your diary management.

We pride ourselves on our student experience and are renowned for creating a positive learning journey for everyone who joins us. We place a huge focus on supporting you before the course starts by providing access to a Welcome Area and also encouraging you to join our growing community too.

During the course you are supported by an excellent training team who are all actively practising coaches. Your peers and you are assigned a dedicated mentor/supervisor who will be with you from week 1 through to week 16, when you graduate. The mentor/supervision experience is one that sets us apart from other coaching academies.

When the course ends, the support does not stop. We run ongoing, regular community events, offering cpd and the chance to connect with your fellow coaches.

It sure is! Our courses are accredited by the Association for Coaching (AC) who are one of three main coaching bodies who have a true global presence. Alongside the ICF, the Association for Coaching is known for leading the way in the field of coaching accreditation, they have a global network of coaches and the late, great Sir John Whitmore was an AC Ambassador. The AC was formed in 2002 and now has accredited coaches in 80 countries around the world.

A high percentage of our coaches go on to run very successful coaching businesses and practices or to take a lead role in supporting staff within their organisation.

We have trained several well-known coaches and wellbeing experts, including; Jody Shield, Andrew Johnson and Stuart Sandeman (Breathpod). We support our coaches with business development and CPD after training giving them the best chance of success. Some of our coaches are at a crossroads in their career and looking for a way to create a sustaining business for themself as they seek to work less or more flexibly. We also train many leaders and business owners who have an intention to build internal coaching pools for their staff or to integrate a coaching approach or culture in the workplace.

The course has a sliding scale of investment (from charities to public and private organisations to self-funders) so it's best to book a call to discuss the cost to you.

As a potential career changing opportunity, the value of the qualification is reflected in the investment however, we offer very competitive prices compared to other suppliers.  Our mission is to make the course accessible and affordable so we do offer payment plans to help spread the costs too.
