In 2023 IECL is introducing new courses to provide flexible learning pathways to suit your needs as you develop your coaching capability. This means you’ll be able to work towards world class IECL organisational coaching certifications and accreditations with the additional credibility of International Coaching Federation (ICF).
You may have heard ICF recently announced a number of significant changes to their coach education and training model. After a rigorous process in 2022, IECL is delighted to have been approved (again!) as an ICF Accredited coach education provider, Levels 1 and 2. The changes include a greater emphasis on individual and group mentoring from the commencement of coach education, performance evaluations against skills requirements and updated exam content and conditions.
If you’ve already completed courses with IECL you’re in a great position. You can build on the level you’ve achieved and continue your learning and development with us. What these changes mean for you personally will depend on the courses you’ve completed so far, and the IECL team is here to guide and support you through the options whilst you decide on the right path for you.
You may want to broaden your knowledge and skills by undertaking additional IECL certification courses or deepen your current level of knowledge and skill by working towards an IECL accreditation and ICF credential.
If you’re just beginning to explore coach education providers and options we appreciate there is a lot of information to absorb, acronyms to learn and pathways to choose from. The great news is that with IECL everything starts with our essential foundation course ‘Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification’. From there the world of highly impactful coaching is open to you.
Undertaking your coach education with IECL also means you are on track to attain International Coaching Federation (ICF) accreditations and credentials. By attaining these accreditations, IECL alumni can then apply for ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credentials or Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentials.
IECL Certifications Level 1 and Level 2
Essential foundation courses for anyone looking to add coaching conversations to their toolkit. Suitable for coaches and leaders building a breadth of knowledge and skill. Level 1 Certification focuses on functional capability while Level 2 Certification focuses on relational intelligence.
IECL Accreditations Level 1 and Level 2
IECL Accreditations Level 1 and Level 2 build on IECL Certifications for a deeper understanding of coaching competencies and principles. Accreditations provide valuable opportunities for additional learning, reflection, practice, feedback and mentoring. Through the Accreditations you will apply Level 1 and Level 2 Certification skills in practice, building greater confidence and capability in coaching.
ICF Accredited Programs
IECL is accredited as an approved provider of ICF Level 1 and Level 2 coach education. This provides a pathway option for IECL alumni to work towards achieving either an ICF ACC or PCC credential. Combining IECL's Level 1 Certification, Level 1 Accreditation plus ACC Mentoring and Performance Evaluation provides an ICF Level 1 Accredited coach education program. Add to this IECL's Level 2 Certification, Level 2 Accreditation and PCC Mentoring and Performance Evaluation and you have completed an ICF Level 2 Accredited program, ready to apply to ICF for your PCC credential.
ICF Credentials
Issued only by ICF, ACC and PCC credentials demonstrate that a coach has committed to and completed an ICF Level 1 Accredited program (ACC) or ICF Level 2 Accredited program (PCC) and, importantly, also has the requisite coaching experience (hours logged) and has passed the ICF credential exam.
