The ACT Team Coaching Program gets so much right. The combination of theory, practical structure and active learning opportunities was incredibly engaging and impactful. I feel empowered to apply what I have learned and inspired to keep learning.

Got a question about our coaching programs?
Most participants who complete LPCC/Level 1 apply for their ACC Credentials, even while working towards their PCC credentials through the Next Level with Level 2 Add on. The PCC credential requires 500 practice coaching hours so most opt to obtain the ACC credential first. (Link: https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/icf-credentials-overview/pcc/)
Level 2 requires 125 hours of coach-specific training. Our LPCC Level 1 program provides 100 hours of training. To obtain your PCC, you will require an additional 25 hours. Our Next Level program with the Level 2 add-on provides the additional training hours as well as the Level 2 Performance Evaluation to become eligible for PCC credentials.To obtain the PCC with the ICF, you must complete 500 hours of practice coaching hours.
It depends. If you are already an ICF credentialed coach, then the LPCC program is not necessary for you. Have you been trained in another style of coaching? We recommend checking whether this follows the ICF Core Competencies and schedule a call with one of our Program Advisors who can advise. If you have been working as a coach without an ICF credential, then the LPCC program can help you obtain your ACC credentials. However, you cannot count any of your previous coaching hours as coaching practice. The ICF wants to make sure you are practicing the coaching from a credentialed coaching school.
Around 75% of the cohort composition is from North America. Of the remaining 25%, students are spread geographically from around the world.
In the application, you need at least 5 years of professional experience. There are a lot of senior people in our program, some retired, some as a second career, CEO, COO, consultants, educators. We look at your experience and how you want to apply the learning from the program.
No more than 24 people. With few exceptions, every cohort is full.
We've had some very senior leaders in our program, as well as emerging leaders and everyone in between.
When the cohort is virtual, we have a much broader geographical spread. Currently, 75% of our participants are based in the USA or Canada. We are proud to have trained and worked with a diverse range of leaders from various backgrounds, including actors, musicians, government officials, healthcare professionals and nonprofit workers, who all share a common desire to serve.
