Program Overview

The Advanced Certificate in Professional Coaching (ACPC) is an intensive, practical and cohort-based program that introduces you to the knowledge and skills required to effectively coach individuals and members of a team towards growth, through change. 

This certificate is designed in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics. Participants will come away with the Advanced Certificate in Professional Coaching when all program requirements are met and after successfully completing their final coaching demonstration. Participants will have practiced and been assessed against the ICF core coaching competencies and code of ethics, leading to proficiency at an associate level within this framework.
