UP Program
This course provides an easy path to a PCC credential, helping you develop your coaching style within a community of experienced coaches.
A stage 1 coach training course often helps us to have clarity on the coaching process and safety on how to work with different goals your client might bring to the session. However, over time, we can develop some habits we are not totally happy with and which we want to improve. Daring to change is often difficult in paid work.
With this incredibly unique course, we offer you a huge field of practice with feedback from very senior coach trainers and the chance to bring your work to the next level. Your style will be different and will be even more individual and unique once you go through this journey!
This path is for you if you:
- You have an ACSTH/Level 1 or another equivalent certification from a previous coaching training. Verify your existing coaching education if it qualifies as Level 1 with ICF using this form
- Are looking to develop your coaching experience further
- You want to work alongside senior peers who enjoy a growth learning mindset and thrive in an fast paced learning environment just like you.
Why is this course special?
- Work with experienced coaches – grapple with novelty core coaching styles and processes of professional executive coaching
- A Level 2 or Level 1 diploma, depending on your previous training, allows you to obtain your ACC or PCC easily once you have your practice hours
- Focus on practice methods – spend time with mentoring groups, practice sessions, and demos to ensure best results for your coachees
- Our offline coaching groups offer an unmatched learning experience. You will join our Level 2 coach training group from the second workshop and strive together to achieve your next level of coaching skills.

GMC & IMC – Mentor Coaching/Supervision
We would like to offer you the opportunity to continue to further your coaching education. We offer this through either Group Mentor Coaching (GMC) or Individual Mentor Coaching (IMC) sessions.
- GMCs are typically with 5-6 participants with a minimum of 4 participants. They are 2 hrs sessions where you can discuss your current coaching work and your questions about coaching. You will get answers to your questions and the necessary input to continue growing in your coaching style. A live practice with feedback is possible.
- IMCs are individual work with a master coach. You will get input on challenges within your current work with clients and can get coached as a coach (supervision). You can share some elements of your work and discuss challenging moments. Q&A and tips on coaching.
Overall, supervision in the form of a GMC or IMC is a must for coaches. We should always further our development if we are working as coaches. If you are in need of the 10 mentor coaching hours for your personal ICF credential (ACC, PCC, MCC) we are happy to support you with a special offer for 7 hours as a group and 3 hours individually (see brochure)
