When employees are asked what they expect from a good manager, they often describe a coach.
...we asked the people we were hiring what they needed from a manager. What stood out was how the list they gave us – goal-setting, feedback, personal and professional development opportunities, autonomy – sounded much more like they needed a coach, rather than a manager. Our managers were all replaced with coaches, with a ratio of one coach per six employees.

What is Linear vs Intuitive Learning
This program includes a set number of training hours but there’s flexibility within the structure. You can either take classes sequentially (one after the other) as shown in your graduation checklist, or you can take them in an order that best suits your learning.
What does it mean to fast track?
Take Your Time: If you are wanting to take your time you would attend 1 class a week (any 1 of the shown times). You work the classes in around your own personal schedule.
Who will be in my cohort?
ICA has ongoing intakes with new students joining each month.
But, unlike traditional cohort learning, where you are restricted to an allocated group with a set start and end date, you get to choose which group you join. The commonality might be language, country or even niche. You also have the option to create your own group.
In summary, you get to choose the people you would like to learn and connect with, and there’s students in over 126 countries also wanting to share and collaborate.
What days and times are classes scheduled
Classes and labs are scheduled across all time zones, with at least 6 options in each time zone each week (for 52 weeks of the year). These times will include at least 1 morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend class or lab.
Is there a learning guarantee?
Enrollment in a Coach Training program is a commitment to both yourself and International Coach Academy. If within 45 days you have not found value in your learning then you can apply for a refund (less administrative fee) and have your attended classes and labs certified by ICA. Read More
