Our approach to coaching and coach development combines scientific, evidence-based knowledge with extensive ‘real world’ practice experience accumulated across decades of coaching, consulting and teaching of coaching and coaching psychology.
Beginning with the principles of behavioural change, participants embark upon an intensive experiential learning process and supervised application of core coaching skills to develop their own systematic coaching practice. Our approach blends examination of the science of human development and change, formal and informal supervised coaching practice and self-directed workplace coaching assignments.
ICCP’s coach training framework is unique, comprehensive and reflects the latest global research on effective practice. We distinguish between three types of coaching – a) skills coaching; b) performance coaching; and c) developmental coaching. The framework enables participants to identify and target specific coachee needs, tailor coaching interventions to match these differing needs, and appropriately assess impact and efficacy.
Professional Certificate in Coaching Psychology (PCCP)
This intensive, and focused course is designed specifically for people who wish to expand and deepen their knowledge and practice of Coaching. Participants typically have prior coaching experience as Human Resource professionals, professional coaches, counsellors, trainers with background in the Behavioural Sciences.
This is a 12 module course conducted over 4 days. The 4 days are split into 2 x 2 day blocks separated by a 2 week break in which participants are invited to apply the reflective practitioner model in real coaching sessions. The learning from this experience is then used as a platform for the final 2 day session.

Leadership: Beyond Skills
Today’s leadership isn’t about control or prediction. It’s about navigating complexity and engaging effectively wicked problems – the kind that resist traditional leadership approaches to solving them.
We see leadership as not just about title or position but a process that emerges from how and those you lead perceive, engage, and shift the systems around you.
Often keeps us stuck isn’t the problem itself, but the assumptions and conversations we bring to it – it’s like shining a torch in a dark room, if we keep shining the torch in the same direction we miss much of what else is around us, including more useful ways of engaging with the problem.
Adult developmental approaches allow us to grow vertically – learning to see differently, think differently, and act differently. Think of it this way: We’re not filling your cup with more techniques – we’re growing the cup so you can hold greater complexity.
You will learn to:
- Navigate complexity with wisdom, rather than striving for control.
- Solve wicked problems differently by shifting systems, assumptions, and conversations
- Build durable leadership capacity via our unique Four Factor Model:©
Perspective-taking — integrate competing views to make wiser choices
Purpose — align people around shared commitments
Proprioception — sense subtle patterns, relationships and movements in the systems in which you work
Positive Processes — cultivate resilience, innovation, and trust
This isn’t a short-term skills booster. It’s a developmental journey that upgrades how you see, think, and lead.
This is for:
- Mid-to-senior leaders driving change and transformation.
- Owner-leaders balancing vision and daily operations.
- Mentors and coaches who develop other leaders
- High-potential leaders seeking wider influence.
- Academics and professional influencers shaping leadership thinking and practice
Our inaugural course starts on 27th November 2025
