You’ll be surprised that many who join the training want the skills to be able to relate better with friends, family and work peers as a primary motivation. Graduates report during and after the program that important relationships improve, or they notice increased ease and effectiveness in sales and business conversations. These incidences evidence that their coaching works, and is usually what inspires them to consider coaching more seriously. These skills are life skills – that means you can always pick up the ‘coaching hat’ when you are ready.

Classroom face-to-face lessons: If you can’t make it physically, join via LIVE webinar for your training hours to count. All dates are given in advanced for you to book out those slots. If you foresee schedule clashes, raise it during your registration.

Mentoring & Supervision session: These dates are scheduled among your group members and with your mentor/supervisor.

You need to attend 60 hours of training minimally to graduate. However the full program experience involves a personal project of your choice, peer coaching and clocking of client hours. It averages out to about 5-6 hours per week. These components are important for you to graduate proud and confident of your coaching abilities.

Your trainer(s), your supervisor and your mentor, as well as your peers (who tend to become great friends after all that peer coaching!)

We’ve never met such cases before – usually people who want to train to become a coach come in with a strong resolve ready to rock ‘n’ roll. Where coach-trainees typically feel challenged is in clocking 100 coaching hours within the 6 months. It is not compulsory to finish all 100 hours in order to graduate – you graduate when you finish all 60 training hours. The 100 client hours is a bonus and a fast-track. If you are struggling in the program, talk to your trainer, mentor and/or supervisor. We will check the pace of the program and/or support you accordingly.

We provide quality, accredited ICF Coach training that is backed by years and thousands of hours of coaching, coach training, coach mentoring and running coaching businesses and projects. We impart the fundamental coaching concepts and skills, as well as honest and authentic advice and best practices. We share real client stories. We tell it ‘as it is’ – we can get brutally honest if it contributes to your learning/matches your learning style. We support, challenge, guide – we do not force. You will get personal attention frequently, as well as a customized learning experience alongside a semi-structured curriculum. The program is whole in itself – we do not up-sell components mid-way and compromise your learning. Your personal stories are protected by P&C agreements, and we will request your permission to share if it benefits others, or if it is part of our program review with the ICF. We are confident that we can turn you into a coach – it will take hard work, your time, an open mind and willingness to challenge and change yourself. Your results will be based on variables such as your level of effort, learning speed, people acumen, prior experiences, personal qualities, knowledge, skills and a host of other factors.

Yes, because our program is an accredited coach training program. You will receive a certificate of completion whether or not you pass your internal exam. The certificate will state the number of hours of certified coach training. This is NOT the ICF’s ACC/PCC certificate, which you will be awarded by the ICF directly upon meeting their ACC/PCC credentialing criteria. You will require our certificate to apply for your ACC/PCC with the ICF as proof that you have completed your ICF approved training hours.

Coach graduates have gone on to confidently run their own practice and start taking on paying clients. Others apply their newfound skill sets into their current roles at work. Graduates also report improvement in managing personal relationships and increased fulfillment. Many of them also end up better supporting their friends through ‘casual coaching’.

After graduation if you complete your training, mentoring and client hours, you can apply for your Accredited Coach Credentials (ACC) with the International Coach Federation.

You can continue your coach journey with us by becoming a supervisor, trainer or mentor with the PCDP.

The Accredited Coach Credentials (ACC) gives you international recognition as a coach who practices professional ethics and standards of coaching. It is issued by the ICF which is the world’s leading Coach certifying body. Find out more about the ACC here.

With the market becoming increasingly crowded, a recognized professional credential is becoming more expected of practicing coaches.

Recently there is a trend that sees an increased interest from HR executives to get trained in coaching. Obtaining a certificate also becomes an advantage in career switches or when you might need to reinvent yourself to adapt to the fast changing workscape.

ICF is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals.

As the world’s largest organization of professionally trained coaches, ICF confers instant credibility upon its members. ICF offers the only globally recognised, independent credentialing program for coach practitioners. ICF Credentials are awarded to professional coaches who have met stringent education and experience requirements and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession.

ICF accredits programs that deliver coach-specific training. ICF-approved and –accredited training programs must complete a rigorous review process and demonstrate that their curriculum aligns with the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics.

Collective Change Institute has obtained Approved Coaching Specific Training Hours (ACSTH) program accreditation  from ICF.

This means it adheres to the International Coach Federation’s strict professional standards for a Coach-training program. The ACSTH is awarded to programs which certify a graduate coach with legitimate training hours. With these hours, you can obtain your international coach credentials and be recognized worldwide as a coach who practices professional ethics and competencies.

The  faculty at Collective Change Institute (CCI) consists of mentor coaches and supervisor coaches, many of whom have been training coaches since 2004.  Our faculty consists of ICF accredited Associate Certified Coaches (ACC), Professional Certified Coaches (PCC) and Master Certified Coach (MCC).

Over the years, we have trained hundreds of coaches and mentored many to them to become certified for their coaching standards. Current and past clients, and past students continue to seek us out for advice and training.

Our faculty  are trainers who lead the Professional Coach Development Program. They include both program leaders, mentor coaches and supervisor coaches.

Our panel are certified coaches who offer professional coaching services in their areas of practice (e.g. executive coaching, life coaching, relationship coaching, business coaching, change management, etc).

The Coaching for Change (C4C) initiative is a unique matching program between the public and our apprentice coaches (coaches-in-training).

The client gets to pick and work with a personal coach over 7 sessions on any of their goals. Our apprentice coach gets to gain experience with a wider range of clients. It’s a win-win for all.

A typical session with a certified coach will cost around $200-350 per hour. 7 sessions will be around $1400 – $2450.

For coaching sessions within the c4c initiative, clients have to offer an exchange to their coaches for their time each session (e.g. coffee). At the end of the 7 sessions, clients are requested to make a small donation to a charity or cause of our choice.

We see it as win-win-win for the clients, coaches and the charity.

You will get to select up to 3 apprentice coaches from our c4c panel here.  Once a match is made, the apprentice coach will initiate a chemistry session with you.  The coaching arrangement will only commence if there’s a fit from both parties.

Our typical arrangement lasts for 7 sessions. This usually lasts 3-4 months.

The c4c initiative ends.

You can make a separate arrangement with your apprentice coach if you wish to explore another arrangement.
