Learning Online with ICA
Technology makes the learning possible. But it's the stories we share, and the human connections we make, that bring the learning to life.
Pioneers in Online Learning
ICA programs were designed to be online (e-learning) and have been this way for over 20 years.
The concept of 'online training' is often misunderstood for being just a collection of self study, downloadable, or F2F programs that have moved online. But that's not, or ever has been, the case at ICA. Our interactive methodology was created in 2001, specifically for coaches, and specifically for 'online learning', and our curriculum was one of the very first in the world to be accredited by the ICF. We also know how critical human connection and social interaction are to the process of learning so when you join our school, you join an online network, with coaches in 126 countries.
Coach Certification
Our e-learning is more than just zoom classes and downloads...
ALL PROGRAMS INCLUDE
MEMBER ACCESS TO OUR LEARNING NETWORKS.
We have long understood how critical social interaction is to learning, building coaching confidence, peer collaboration, and a sense of community. For this reason, as soon as you join our training, we connect you with our private learning networks (Learnsite and Campus).

Program Participation and Expectations
Connect with your Learning, and the ICA Community, from anywhere at any time. On the train, with a coffee on the couch, or in your lunchbreak at work! The global nature of our training means that that there is always someone online, and always an activity you can participate in or complete.
Classes
Our classes are quite structured, meaning that you know what to expect before you dial in and can prepare accordingly. Students will be connecting from many different countries, but they will most likely live in a country or region that has the same time zone as you.
Labs
‘Doing’ is critical in the learning process. In labs, you will practice the techniques and skills you learn throughout your studies. You will start by observing the coaching demonstrations of others, and then when you feel ready, take on the role of coach yourself.
Mentoring
Mentor Coaching is where you coach with expert feedback and observe the coaching feedback and mentoring of your peers. The feedback is specifically tied to the ICF Core Competencies and designed to improve the quality of your coaching presence and skills.
Peer Coaching
Pro bono or reciprocal coaching where you take on the role of coach and client and develop a coach starter pack for your ideal client. Your peer coaching can count towards the ICF credential of ACC, PCC or MCC.
Your Coaching Model
We’ll introduce you to the ‘one size fits all’ models and then support you to create your own unique coaching model. A model that communicates to future clients and employees who you are as a coach, and the problems you solve.
Portfolio Development
All ICA coaches graduate with their own unique coaching portfolio. These will showcase your coaching niche, ideal client, values and expertise. Your portfolio will help you graduate ‘Business Ready’.
