FREE 30-Minute One-on-One Follow-Up Session

One-on-one coaching session on Zoom

As part of this ICP-ACC course, you'll receive a FREE 30-minute one-on-one session with your trainer.

This session is designed to help you discuss any challenges you're facing as a new Agile Coach, receive tailored guidance on applying coaching skills in your organisation, and gain confidence in supporting Agile teams and stakeholders.

Our goal is to support your success beyond the class and ensure you're ready to put your learning into action.

How Does the Online ICP-ACC Course Work?

2-Day Interactive Online Course: Delivered via Zoom and Mural, this course blends instructor-led sessions, interactive breakout activities, and group reflections. Regular breaks and a full hour for lunch allow you to recharge. Our final activity, a powerful integration exercise, brings everything together.

Hands-On Learning Environment: With support from your lead trainer Helen Meek (ICF-PCC, CEC, CTC), you’ll build real coaching skills in a safe, supportive environment. Groups are typically around 12 people — small enough for genuine coaching practice, large enough for rich discussion.

Completion Requirements: To earn your ICAgile certification, you'll complete 4 hours of self-paced prework, a pre-call, and attend the full 2-day class. There is no exam — instead, you are assessed through your active participation and engagement throughout the course. But don’t panic — your trainers are there to support you every step of the way!

Your Questions Answered – Guaranteed: Ask any questions during the course — whether about Agile Coaching, real-world situations, or theory — and we guarantee you’ll get the answers you need to succeed. If we can’t answer it, we’ll follow up after class — or refund your money!

ICF-PCC · Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC) · Certified Team Coach (CTC) · Accredited Kanban Trainer the Trainer

Helen is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with over three decades of experience working with individuals, teams, and organisations on their road to agility.

What sets Helen apart on this course is that she’s not just teaching coaching theory — she’s a practising professional coach who works with real clients every day.

Some classes may be delivered by Rickard Jones (CST, CTC, ICAgile Trainer, 20+ years) or John Barratt (CST, Enterprise Agile Coach) — all trainers at Agile Affinity are practising coaches with real-world credentials.

Course Topics: Your Path to Coaching Mastery

The ICP-ACC course is built around four dynamic modules designed to develop your full range of Agile Coaching capabilities. You'll gain confidence in when and how to coach, mentor, teach, and facilitate — and walk away with practical tools you can apply immediately.

Coaching: Use ICF-aligned techniques to build the foundation of great coaching. Develop core skills such as active listening, emotional intelligence, powerful questioning, presence, and clean feedback.

Facilitating Learning: Use brain-based learning design from “Training from the BACK of the Room” to engage learners. Learn how to mentor effectively and understand the difference between coaching, mentoring, and consulting.

Serving the Team: Explore high-performing team dynamics, systemic coaching tools, launching teams, structuring engagements, and navigating conflict with empathy and clarity.

Integration: Tie everything together by learning how to move fluidly between stances — choosing the right tool or approach to support your team in any situation.

Agile Coaching Agreement Canvas — a visual template for structuring coaching engagements

By the end of the course, you'll know how to craft agile coaching agreements, design and lead coaching engagements, and support teams at every stage of their journey.

You'll also explore essential tools and techniques that help you coach with confidence and clarity:

Self-awareness — Self-reflection with the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel, coaching presence, active listening, and emotional intelligence.

Core coaching skills — Powerful questions, clean feedback, clean language, and understanding the difference between coaching, mentoring, teaching, and consulting.

Working with people — Empathy mapping, awareness of cognitive bias, and creating and using Agile Coaching agreements.

Facilitation and team dynamics — Facilitation techniques using Training from the BACK of the Room, team launch patterns, supporting high performance, and navigating team conflict.

Coaching at scale — Designing coaching plans, managing engagements, applying systemic coaching, and integrating coaching stances effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any prerequisites for this course?

There are no formal prerequisites. However, we recommend foundational agile experience such as completing Scrum Foundations, Agile Fundamentals, or a CSM/PSM certification before joining. This helps you get the most out of the coaching practice and discussions.

How should I prepare for this course?

You'll receive prework that includes 4 hours of self-reflection using the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel. There’s also a pre-call to help you connect with peers and get ready for the training.

Will I need any equipment?

Yes, you’ll need the latest Zoom desktop app (not the web or mobile version), a strong internet connection, webcam, and microphone. A second monitor is helpful but not required. ICAgile requires your camera to be on throughout the course.

How many people will be in the class?

Classes typically have around 12 people, with a maximum of 20. This keeps the group small enough for genuine coaching practice and personal feedback, but large enough for rich discussion and diverse perspectives.

Are the sessions recorded?

No. The sessions are not recorded. This is a deliberate choice — coaching practice requires a safe space where participants can be open and take risks without worrying about being on camera for a recording. Full attendance across both days is required for certification.

Do I need to pay VAT if I live outside the UK?

You can choose to pay in GBP + VAT, EUR, or USD by selecting your location at the top of our website. This will also calculate any applicable tax automatically.

Can my employer pay, or can I get an invoice?

Yes. Select “Pay by Bank Transfer” at checkout and an invoice will be generated automatically. Payment must be received before joining instructions are sent. For larger corporate bookings or bespoke requirements, please contact us at talk@agileaffinity.com.

What if I have another question?

We’re happy to help! Email talk@agileaffinity.com and we’ll get back to you quickly.
