A simplified, practical understanding of ICF Core Competencies

The ability to coach across contexts, industries, and cultures

Mastery in holding complexity, wholeness, and systemic awareness

The “Big 4” Coaching Applications
As part of your Level 2 formation, you will be equipped to confidently work across four major coaching domains:
-
Life Coaching
-
Enneagram Coaching
-
Business Coaching
-
Executive Coaching
Rather than narrowing prematurely into a rigid niche, you will learn how to adapt and design coaching engagements that serve your clients at the highest level — across both personal and professional landscapes.
Beyond Technique: Professional Formation
This programme is not limited to skill acquisition.
It supports you in developing:
-
Coaching presence and depth
-
Ethical alignment with ICF standards
-
Reflective practice
-
Professional confidence
You will also receive guidance in developing your coaching brand or business organically — without rigid niche selection or formula-driven marketing. Instead, you will learn how to build adaptable coaching solutions grounded in competence and credibility.
Programme Structure & Commitment
The pathway is delivered across approximately 10 months in a structured, progressive format.
Participants can expect:
-
Weekly live online training sessions
-
Structured coaching practice

Ongoing mentor coaching integration

Clear milestones toward evaluation readiness
You should expect approximately 3–4 hours per week of live sessions, with additional time for practice, reflection, and coaching hours.

-
Individuals committed to becoming professionally credentialed coaches

Investment
The founding May 2026 cohort investment is R72,000.
This investment applies to participants completing the full Level 2 pathway from the beginning.
