Level 1 Accredited Coach Training Program

This module introduces Envision's time proven coaching model as well as ICF's most current coaching competency requirements for certification. You will be grounded in the concepts of coaching as a practice, as well as powerful coaching skills as a whole. We focus on establishing a strong framework within the overall coaching relationship through a clarification of role parameters and contracting definitions. You are challenged to bring yourself to your coaching in a more effective way, and to more fully utilize powerful questions and direct communications in your engagements with clients. This is learned through Envision's coaching methodologies, the ICF coaching competencies, systems theory, change processes, as well as Gestalt coaching methodologies. Through an interactive process we also provide direct observation and skills assessments to begin a powerful learning and development plan for each participant.

This module highlights the power dynamics in all interactions and how to manage them in the coaching engagement. We help clarify what it means to have client engagements and how to navigate them. We go over accountability and feedback systems and the structures you can use to illuminate and reinforce the relationship between action and consequence. You will also learn how to coach clients effectively and more powerfully when working virtually. Additionally, we teach you to help your client resolve intrapersonal (inner) conflict through working 'with' rather than against the system, creating an outcome congruent with the whole person.

Module 3: LIVE interactive webinar presentations, group applications and coaching exercises.

The ACC Performance Exam requires that you demonstrate coaching at an ICF ACC skill level, no matter how many coaching hours you have logged at that point. This is why we keep pointing to MCC level coaching so that you have a greater opportunity to reach or surpass ACC skill level by the time the training is complete.
Once you have passed the ACC Performance Exam you will receive the ACSTH Certificate of Completion, which you will then use to apply for your ICF ACC Credential.
NOTE: The training you receive will prepare you for the Performance Evaluation but doesn't guarantee you will pass. It is possible to take the Performance Evaluation more than once.

The Performance Evaluation process is as follows. You’ll submit:
1) an Audio Recording file of a 30—50 minute coaching session.
2) a verbatim, time-stamped Transcription of the recorded coaching session.
3) an ECT Client Release Form for that recording signed (by hand) by you and the client.
4) an ECT Level 2 Exam Release Form signed (by hand) by you.
All documents are provided to you via your online account.

Once you've passed our Performance Evaluation, you will receive a certificate from us that verifies you passed at the ACC level which you can then use to apply for the ICF ACC Certification.

In this robust module we step into deeper understanding of coaching skills. You will learn to build a foundation of coaching agreement with your clients, become more aware of how the intent behind your questions affects the engagement, and gain skills that help your client explore new perspectives and resolve inner conflict. Using Envision's models, Gestalt techniques, Neuro-Linguistics (NLP) and advanced coaching competencies, you will also become far more powerful in direct communication with your clients. You will also learn to identify what modality your client tends to experience the world through, allowing you to better create rapport and awareness with them. You are then empowered to assist them via their own unique strategies, working with the client’s strengths. You will also learn how to make powerufl statements as a means to communicate directly and resourcefully with your clients.

The ACTP mentor coaching package (10.5 hrs) is set out in the following way:
• Five 1.5-hr group mentor coaching sessions

Mentor Coaching starts after the first module and is taken between modules or after training is complete, depending on your preference.

Mentoring takes place online. One-to-one sessions consist of listening to a 30 minute pre-recorded coaching call with you and your client, then 30 minutes of direct feedback and mentor coaching. The group mentor coaching sessions consist of listening to a 30 minute pre-recorded coaching session with either you or another member of the cohort and a client, then 30 minutes of direct feedback and mentor coaching, and then 30 minutes of group discussion.
