Become Coaching & Training

We want to make sure that you are equipped not only to meet the ACC or PCC Criteria of the ICF Credentialing but also that you become a great coach. ⁠
⁠
Here's how we do it:⁠
⁠
1. Small Group Live Classes where you interact with real human beings including your wonderful group that you'll be working with. This is key for us - you'll be working with other coaches and you won't be just a number.⁠
⁠
2. Written and Verbal Feedback on your coaching practice. Your written feedback helps you understand your strengths, habits, ways of working and the way you show up with your clients. You then have an opportunity to discuss the verbal feedback with your observer.⁠
⁠
3. Mentoring Sessions included in the price. Our Levels 1 and 2 Diplomas include both personal and group mentoring to help you explore the way you're working within the ICF Competencies, getting you reading to apply for your ACC or PCC.⁠
⁠
4. Ongoing support including refresher and CPD opportunities. We understand that you don't want to do just a course. That this is meaningful. There is a strong focus of developing your self-awareness on this programme and we support this during and after the programme! We have alumni groups, exam prep sessions and communities you can join.⁠
⁠
5. Access to Online Learning including a bespoke Learning Portal. We have created this to support your learning. Each Class has its own materials that includes any potential prework, recordings of coaching sessions and of the Live Classes. You can then use the Portal when you need it and not just during your studies.⁠

Sometimes trainees new to coaching want to really focus on the structure of a coaching session.

However rather than setting rigid steps, structuring a coaching programme is about creating a flexible container that supports trust, safety, and client-centered growth. This is more impactful than adhering to rigid models or formulas.

While structure is essential for consistency and clarity, it shouldn’t overshadow the real work of being present with the client - that human connection.

Our latest blog: https://www.tobecome.org/articles/how-do-you-structure-a-coaching-session-using-the-icf-competencies-to-enhance-presence-and-client-centredness/ explores how to design a coaching framework that aligns with ICF competencies—fostering trust, active listening, and presence—while allowing space for each client’s unique journey to unfold. In integrative coaching, models and techniques can provide guidance but should never come at the expense of genuine connection. Instead, we aim to hold a space where the client, not the model, takes centre stage.

To start answering this it's important to first understand the nature of coaching, including how at times, coaching is viewed as a transactional, goal-focused activity. ⁠
⁠
Coaching however is developing into a transformational approach. While transactional coaching focuses on achieving specific goals, transformational coaching seeks to unearth underlying beliefs, values, and behaviours. We work on the idea that sustainable change emerges from shifts in perspective and self-awareness.⁠
⁠
✨️Integration refers to the amalgamation of diverse coaching models and techniques.⁠
⁠
✨️As integrative coaches we recognize that each client is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach does not lead to optimal results in clients. ⁠
⁠
✨️So, whether drawing from ACT practices, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or mindfulness techniques, on Become's Level 1 Diploma in Integrative Coaching we empower coaches to leverage a diverse toolkit to support their clients effectively, always in a way that is about the client, without giving advice.⁠
⁠
✨️Authenticity also lies at the core of impactful integrative coaching. As coaches, integrating who we are—our values, experiences, and beliefs—into our coaching style, we foster genuine connections. By embracing our authenticity, we model the courage and self-awareness essential for our clients' transformative journey.⁠
⁠
✨️In today's complex world, clients seek more than just solutions to immediate challenges—they yearn for profound personal and professional connection. By embracing integration, we equip coaches with the environment necessary to facilitate transformative change. ⁠
⁠
✨️ As an ICF Training Centre our commitment to integration reflects our dedication to nurturing empathetic, skilled, and authentic coaches who empower clients to realize their aspirations and lead fulfilling lives. ⁠
⁠
Training with Become means that you learn multiple frameworks, work with many mentors and ICF Coaches to find your own integrative style of coaching.⁠
