Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, through a Level 1 Accredited Coaching Education Provider path of ICF credentialing.

  • Do I become credentialed with ICF by taking this program?

    While the program certifies a coach through FranklinCovey, it does not credential the coach through ICF. Upon completion of the FC-ECTP, the participant is responsible for applying to ICF for the relevant credential.

    All of our courses in our program are taught in English only.

  • How much does this Executive Coach Training Program Level 1 cost?

    The cost for our Level 1, 107 hour training is $10,500.

  • Is Mentor Coaching covered in the fee?

    Ten hours of mentor coaching is included in the Level 1 program. If the student decides to pursue Level 2 certification and was not mentored by one of our approved PCC or MCC coaches, the student will need to secure an additional 10 hours of mentor coaching instruction at the student’s expense.

  • Is there a refund for the Executive Coach Training Program?

    Should the student need to cancel registration they will receive a full refund if the cancellation request is received by email at [email protected] 30 days or more prior to the start date.

    • Cancellations received within 7 to 29 days prior to the start date of any course will receive a full refund excluding a non-refundable administrative fee of 10% of tuition.
    • The student experience is of utmost importance to the school. If a student finds the experience highly unsatisfactory after beginning Foundations (Course 1), the student may request to withdraw any time prior to the third class meetings by emailing [email protected]. A full refund will be issued.
    • If a person needs to leave in the middle of the program, the student will pay for what was completed.
    • Under no circumstances will any refund be issued after the third class meeting.
  • Where is training held?

    Current trainings are being held Live Online via Zoom.

     

  • What is the absentee policy for Level 1 Courses 1–3?

    There are three Live Online instructional courses and one mentor coaching course in the initial training program for ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential. Participants can miss a total of 9.5 Live Online instruction hours during the three courses and still meet the attendance requirements for their ICF credential application. Note that courses will typically consist of 17–21 Live Online instruction training hours each.

    Participants who miss Live Online instruction will need to make up the missed hours through special asynchronous assignments. For example, if a participant misses three hours of Live Online classroom teaching, the participant would need to listen to the missed session via the Zoom recording within one week of the class missed. This would be followed by writing a summary and reflection of the learning obtained through the missed instruction.

  • What happens if I miss more than 9.5 hours of instruction in Level 1 Courses 1-3?

    Participants will not be able to complete certification and would need to attend a future cohort for the necessary amount of time in the respective module. However, observed coaching sessions cannot be made up, so participants must ensure that they have achieved the necessary five hours of observed coaching in order to receive certification.

  • What is the absentee policy for Mentor Coaching?

    Mentor Coaching hours are completed via group and individual coaching to provide a total of 10 mentor coaching hours. Seven of those hours are completed via group coaching and three hours are completed via individual coaching. These 10 hours are included in the fees for the FC-ECTP. Should a participant miss any of the seven group coaching meetings, that participant would need to make up the missed hours by paying for additional individual coaching to ensure the completion of 10 hours of mentor coaching.
