It's been one of the most rewarding learning experiences that I've ever done. This is because of the interactive delivery style, exceptionally knowledgeable trainers and a friendly, supportive environment for development.
It was really valuable working alongside other like-minded people and obtaining an ICF Certification. Joseph and the team were always ready to help and I looked forward to the Live Classes. More than anything else I felt truly supported. I obtained detailed, wonderful feedback that helped me develop myself as an integrative coach. Thank you to all the team at Become!"

Talent Manager & Alumni of the Diploma in Integrative Coaching
"I’ve done various training courses over the years and nothing comes close to this one.
The ICF Course in Integrative Coaching has clearly been well thought out and this is evident by how well structured it is with the variety of resources available.
The online portal was invaluable as a go-to tool jam packed with course materials and was great to be able to re-watch session recordings. The team leading the course were so encouraging and the one-to-one mentoring within this course was incredibly invaluable. Finally, I met a great bunch of likeminded people.
So, for anyone considering doing an accredited ICF programme I would not hesitate to recommend Become. You won’t regret it!"

The ICF & AC Level 2 Advanced Diploma is suitable for:
- Individuals who are new to coaching and want a complete end to end programme meeting all the requirements leading to the PCC Credential by the ICF or a Professional Coach Credential by the AC (Association for Coaching)
- Coaches who already have obtained a Level 1 or ACSTH Qualification. You could be an ACC coach looking to progress towards PCC for example. In this case you would do the Top Up rather than the full programme.
The full programme is for individuals who are starting their coach training. The Top Up programme is only available for individuals who either have an ACC Credential or have at least 60 hours of accredited ICF Coach Training (ACSTH/ACTP/Level 1) pathways.

Our Alumni have come from across all walks of life and wanting to focus, or develop, their skills in a range of coaching outcomes. So whether you want to focus more on personal, executive, career, business or another niche, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.

The hours on the Advanced Diploma are divided between a number of activities including:
- Induction activities
- Number of Live Classes delivered on Zoom that you can attend from home. Depending on the programme that you sign up to these are delivered either on a weekday evening or Saturdays.
- Coaching Practice and Feedback
- Mentoring and Supervision
- Through additional resources available on our Learning Portal
It’s flexible. The ICF asks that most of your learning happens live, whether that’s in classes, mentoring or practice sessions. Those hours account for most of the commitment you’ll need.
Anything beyond that is up to you. We do recommend some reflective practice or additional reading or resources, but the shape and depth of that is entirely your choice. It’s there to help you grow, not add pressure.
The Diploma is assessed in a number of different ways to meet our requirements but also the ICF’s Competencies, giving you peace of mind that your qualification is a robust one.
There are 4 key areas of your assessment you need to be aware of:
1. Coaching Practice. This is key for us. Throughout the course you will have many opportunities to coach – either other people on the course or real clients. You will need to be observed on 5 of your coaching sessions. An ICF coach will provide you with both written and verbal feedback on all of the ICF competencies. We take feedback seriously – it’s specific, intentional and focused on developing you as a coach.
2. Performance Evaluation. During your Advanced Coaching Skills study you will undertake 2 performance evaluations that are assessed at PCC level (ICF) and Professional Coach level (AC). This means that you not only get the Advanced Diploma from Become but also will leave with a Certificate that you can use to apply directly to the ICF for the ACC or PCC Credential or Professional Coach with the AC. NOTE: Applicants wishing to obtain the Professional Coach Credential with the AC also need to complete a 1000 word written case study on their coaching practice.
3. Mentoring & Supervision. This is a mandatory part of the programme because we believe that it is through this process of practice, supervision and feedback that you can excel as a coach. You will need to complete 10 mentoring sessions (included in the programme price) and you have a year to take these.
4. Reflections on your Coaching Experience. We believe master coaches are also great reflectors and want to keep on developing yourself. As part of your qualification you will be required to submit your reflective log to us. Don’t worry – this does not need to be written – it can be audio files, videos, blog posts – reflections are personal to you!
The Level 2 & ADCT Advanced Diploma is accredited by the 2 main awarding bodies for Coaches – the Association for Coaching (AC) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF). By completing the Advanced Diploma in Integrative Coaching you can then apply for the ACC or PCC accreditation with the ICF and the Professional Coach Credential with the AC.
Plenty! You’ll be supported by seasoned ICF coaches who’ve spent years working with organisations and private clients, so you’re not learning this in a vacuum. Beyond the live classes, you’ll get 1:1 mentoring sessions, detailed observations of your 1:1 coaching sessions, group mentoring and in-sessions practice.
You’ll also have access to our Learning Portal packed with extra resources curated by our team: podcasts, articles, reading materials and tools that help you go deeper.
And if you ever need to speak to one us, we’re always an email or phone call away.
