Advanced Coach Training

Coacharya’s Accredited Coach Training Program

Coacharya is an ICF- accredited coach education provider for Leverl 2 (ICF’s PCC) certification, EMCC’s EIA Senior Practitioner certification and CCE’s BCC (Board Certified Coach) certification. The 135 hour program is intended for coaches who do not hold any coaching credentials (125 + hours of classroom + 10 hours of mentoring).

Coaches who currently hold the ICF ACC, EIA Foundation or EIA Practitioner credentials may complete the 65 hour bridge program. Please contact us for more details.

All Coacharya programs are delivered by PCC or MCC-credentialed coaches. Our training stands out as it effectively blends Eastern spirituality with Western psychology and focuses on individual leadership development in work and life, through the following techniques:

• Creation of self-awareness and mindlessness
• Self and social emotional mastery
• People orientation
• Excellence in communication
• Energy-based coaching

Participants learn to develop their own processes and models, go into deeper experiential learning of coaching competencies, and work on practical business oriented assignments such as coaching models, business models, and marketing approaches.

Program structure

Globally, our programs are offered virtually, via Zoom. Classes meet weekly, for 3 hours at a time, on a set day and time.

Learners in India can attend face-to-face programs in select cities. Please contact us for more details or see our upcoming schedule.

50% of session time is spent on interactive discussion of concepts and coaching applications. This happens through trainer instruction, question and answers, discussion on books and videos, coaching role-plays relating to live issues, and discussion of cases. The other half of each session is spent on observed/mentored coaching in pairs and teams (dyads/triads/fishbowl formats).

Some of the Observed Coaching sessions are conducted via live teleclass mode to familiarize students with telephonic/audio coaching. This prepares learners to be effective when working with clients across all media and timezones.

Completion requirements

All learners are expected to attend all classroom hours, but they must attend a minimum of 80%. Additionally, learners commit to at least 2 hours of self-study, reflection and assignments for each 3 hours of class. Upon completion of classroom hours and assignments, learners participate in an additional 10 hours of mentoring with an MCC level coach. Requirements may change from time to time, but will be outlined in an intake agreement that all learners must sign before they enroll.

Upon successful fulfillment of Coacharya requirements, participants can apply for Level 2 credentialling (ICF’s PCC), EMCC (EIA Senior Practitioner) and CCE (Board Certified Coach / BCC). This involves submitting a log of experiential coaching hours, undergoing a written test, and submitting 2 coaching conversation recordings and transcripts.

How Coacharya’s coach training is different

Coacharya coach training covers all the coaching competencies required by ICF, EMCC and CCE, while incorporating the following into the learner experience:

• Yoga and meditation techniques for awareness
• Advanced concepts of mindlessness for awareness and presence
• Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) for reframing, awareness and action
• Appreciative Inquiry for communication and actions
• Positive Psychology for reframing, awareness and action

Learning in Coacharya programs occurs through reflection, practice and action. Our focus is on transformation and coaching mastery, even within the limited time of the program. We emphasize the journey, rather than the outcome. You can read more about what makes Coacharya special and learn about our training approach.
