We value transparency and want to ensure that our pricing aligns with specific tax regulations applicable to each individual. Put simply if you’re a UK resident we have to charge you 20% VAT on the programme fees. If you’re not then we don’t.

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.
There are some witness testimonies on this page and you can also hear from two of our alumni in one of our Podcast episodes here.
The hours on the Advanced Diploma are divided between a number of activities including:
Very little or as much as you’d like! We believe that the majority of your learning to be synchronous whilst on the programme – that is live with a facilitator whether it’s through the Classes, your practice or the mentoring sessions. So the hours you see will constitute the majority of your studying time. We would always recommend reflective practice, in whichever way or form you find it useful.
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. 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.
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 Diploma is fully accredited by the ICF allowing you to apply for membership and ACC or PCC accreditation.
A lot! Coach-trainees are supervised by ICF Coaches with years of experience working in organisations and with private clients. Apart from the Live Classes you will have mentoring sessions, observations of your coaching sessions, the opportunity to present on a coaching topic and access to our bespoke Learning Portal that contains additional resources. These are curated by our experts and include podcasts, journal articles and reading materials. And if you need us we are only an email or phone call away.
Get in touch with us. We can have a conversation with you to understand where you are and if this is suitable for you. We don’t try and sell you the programme!
