Access These Benefits With Our ICF-Accredited Program
What is ICF?
The International Coaching Federation is the largest global organization of professional coaches with over 50,000 members in 150 countries. It is the leader in establishing both ethical standards and coaching competencies worldwide and awards the only globally recognized credential (held by more than 40,000) in three levels, namely:
Our coaching training program is accredited by the ICF. This accreditation ensures that our program meets the highest international standards.
Why Obtain an ICF-Credential?
The professional coaching industry is booming, but with so many practitioners, how do you stand out to potential clients?
An ICF Credential demonstrates that your coaching practice is based on global standards and will give you the distinction and an EDGE over other professional coaches. An ICF Credential is similar to a degree or professional designation with global recognition. It is your mark of excellence.
It signifies to clients that you’ve undergone a rigorous professional coaching program, mastered core competencies, and adhere to a strict code of ethics. This instantly positions you as a leader in your field, giving you the credibility and trust to attract high-paying clients.
To become an ICF-credentialed coach, the first step for you is to get formal training in professional coaching. At Benchmark Consulting, we offer you the Philippines’ first-ever ICF-accredited coaching course.
The Curriculum
The objective of the Accelerated Coach Training Program is to produce highly effective, qualified, competent and credible professional coaches who adhere to the gold standard set by the ICF. To achieve this objective, we provide our participants with a solid foundation of what coaching really is, both in theory and in praxis or skills practice by implementing the 70-20-10 Development Framework. This framework states that 70% of learning comes from actual experience while 20% of learning comes from learning with and from others, and 10% from formal education, classroom training, and readings.
Our accredited coach training program has three phases:
Phase 1
Phase 1 of our professional coaching program is a live online workshop on Coaching Fundamentals conducted in eight 3-hour sessions. Here, students will learn and experience coaching concepts, theories, and frameworks revolving around the ICF Definition, ICF Core Competencies, and ICF Code of Ethics.
The workshops are highly engaging, experiential, introspective, non-threatening, and enjoyable. Our creative approach combines theory and practice through interactive discussions, coaching demos, stimulating yet reflective exercises as well as “real play” skills-building simulations (dyads, triads, and tag-team).
Phase 2 – Practicum
This phase aims to embed all the learnings from Phase I. Each student/participant will be required to coach an actual client twice a month for a period of 3 months with the guidance of a personal mentor-coach. They will record four of their coaching conversations. The assigned mentor-coach will then review and listen to these recordings for evaluation and feedback. This way, students will be assessed and guided as they progress on their coaching proficiency. Each student will receive four one-on-one mentoring sessions and undergo three 2-hour group mentoring sessions.
During this phase, the participants will also be tasked to do coaching research that aims to provide them with insights and relevant information needed for them to embark on their professional coaching practice.

Phase 3 – Practicum Debrief and Performance Evaluation
This is another workshop conducted in four 3-hour sessions where participants will debrief their practicum experience – their learnings, challenges, and successes. The final performance evaluation of each student based on the ICF Core Coaching Competencies will also be done during this session.
