Entry requirements
This open programme is suitable for all coaches who are seeking renewal of their ICF accreditation, and require 10 hours of coach mentoring to qualify*. It’s also suitable for those who have completed, or are completing, a coach training programme and require coach mentoring hours to achieve their first ICF credential.
If you are an alumnus/a of the Henley Professional Certificate in Coaching, who started their programme before September 2018, this programme will provide you with the requisite coach mentoring hours to apply for ICF ACC status, however you will also need to complete 12 additional hours of coach training. It is also suitable for those who completed the Foundations in Coaching module as part of their MSc in Coaching for Behavioural Change.
Anyone who started the Henley Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching from September 2018 will have benefitted from the programme's ICF accreditation and will therefore only need to attend this programme for recredentialing purposes.
Please contact us if you have any questions about your eligibility to attend this programme or how to complete your additional coaching hours.
*ICF accreditation renewal is required every 3 years; during those 3 years you need to undertake 10 hours of coach mentoring to qualify, as well as Continuing Coach Education units (CCEUs) such as those offered through the Henley Centre for Coaching – see the ICF website for more information and a full breakdown of renewal requirements.
Course structure
Delivered over group and 1:1 sessions, the programme covers the core coaching competencies and preparation for applying for your accreditation.
There are 10 hours of group mentoring, delivered over 5 x 2-hour group sessions. Sessions run from 15:00-17:00.
The 3 hours of 1:1 mentoring are split across 3 x 1-hour sessions, arranged over the duration of the programme.
Please refer to the schedule for the session information and dates.
