ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Level 1 and Level 2 are ICF-accredited coaching training programs, built on the 8 core ICF competencies. The difference between them lies in the depth and complexity of learning.

Level 1 provides access to the first individual certification – ICF ACC (Associate Certified Coach).

Level 2 provides access to the PCC (Professional Certified Coach) level and fully includes Level 1.

Yes. You can enroll directly in Level 2, even if you haven’t completed Level 1 separately.

Level 2 includes the full Level 1 curriculum. Both programs start at the same time, and all participants go through the foundational Level 1 training together.

The difference is that participants enrolled in Level 2 continue the journey beyond Level 1, going deeper into advanced coaching competencies, complexity, and practice.

This allows for a more integrated and continuous learning experience, without needing to enroll in the two levels separately.

 

Level 1 is suitable for:

  • People with no prior coaching experience

  • Professionals who want to develop coaching skills

  • Individuals interested in structured personal development

The program introduces the ICF competencies at the ACC level in a progressive and practical way.

Level 2 is designed for those who:

  • Want to practice coaching professionally

  • Are interested in the transformational dimension of coaching

  • Want to work with complex situations, life transitions, and organizational contexts

All One2Coach programs are built on the 8 ICF core competencies.

The difference between Level 1 and Level 2 is not what is taught, but how deeply each element is explored, including structured verbal and written feedback.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

About Coaching

 

Coaching is a partnership between a professional who developed specific  coaching skills in a long term program and an individual or team.

The partnership follows a clear professional or personal objective contracted at the beginning of the process and it is aimed to support the achievement of specific results.

The relationship between coach and coachee is based on trust, respect, collaboration and full acknowledgement of coachee’s decisions and choice of action.

In this manner the coachee is accompanied to increase performance and well-being, while unlocking and using their full potential.

If you are interested in looking at yourself with openness and curiosity, understand what drives you, getting ready to take responsibility of actions and results of the process, being successful and fulfilled, yes coaching is for you.

 

Counselling and therapy are to remedy the client’s problems. The client comes to therapy or counselling because they feel dissatisfied with their life and want relief from psychological and/or physical symptoms.

They want to get away from pain or discomfort rather than move towards desired goals. Therapy and counselling often seek to understand the past and what went wrong in order to be better in the present. Coaching focuses on the present and future. A coach may work with a client who has a good life, but wants the coach to help them make it better still.

 

A mentor is a senior person in the business who guides a junior person from their greater experience. A coach does not have to be a senior person in the client’s line of business. The client has to know the business, not the coach.

Consultancy deals with the business system as a whole. A consultants recommendations affect individuals indirectly. Coaching affects individuals directly. Coaching will very often be part of a consultant’s recommendations for a business.

The word was first used in sports for a person who helped an athlete train and improve. All top athletes have a personal coach. From there, the idea spread to all walks of life. A significant event in this expansion was the publication of Timothy Gallwey’s book, ‘The Inner game of Tennis.’ This book used ideas from sports coaching in a much wider way.

 

To come with the intention of being available to the process and allow this to create through exploration awareness of self and commitment to actions and results.

Understand that the process that starts needs respecting the agreement the coach and coachee make in the beginning and any change should be seen through.

To be open to challenge the way he/she/team sees the reality in order to change perspectives.

Become comfortable with setbacks and unexpected changes in the circumstances in the flow, in order to start building resilience and coherence.

Allowing the perspective of being a whole individual to set in and take actions from this space of potential.

 

The session can start with a brief conversation meant to (re)establish connection and trust. If it is not the first session, usually some time will be used for managing progress on the past commitments.

Then the coach accompanies the coachee in defining, clarifying and reinforcing the goals for the process or/and the session. After that, the coach through welcoming presence, active listening, powerful questioning and direct communication is facilitating learning, problem-solving and action planning towards the desired results.

The end of the session is focused on learning and accountability of the work done during the session.
