ICAgile Certified Professional in Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC) credential badge

Format: Live online via Zoom + Mural, fully interactive

Duration: 2 days (9:00–18:00 GMT, 1 hour lunch)

 

Exam: None — certification via active participation

Class size: Typically ~12, maximum 20

Prerequisites: No formal prerequisites are required. However, we recommend foundational agile experience — such as a CSM®, PSM, or Agile Fundamentals course — before joining. This helps you get the most from the coaching practice and discussions.

Ready to take your agile coaching skills to the next level? The ICAgile Certified Professional in Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC) course develops the mindset, knowledge, and practical skills you need to become an effective Agile Coach. You’ll learn directly from Helen Meek — an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC), and one of the most credentialled agile coaching trainers in Europe.

Whether you’re an experienced Scrum Master, a budding Agile Coach, or someone looking to deepen your impact on teams and organisations, this course will sharpen your coaching stance and expand your toolkit. Discover what it truly means to serve teams and lead transformation with confidence — in just 2 intensive days.

Most ICP-ACC providers charge £800–£2,255 for a 3-day course. We deliver the full ICAgile curriculum in 2 days, at a fraction of that cost, led by a trainer who is herself a practising ICF-certified professional coach — not just an agile practitioner teaching coaching theory.

Two Advantages You Won’t Find Elsewhere

The only provider delivering the full ICAgile ICP-ACC curriculum in 2 days. Competitors charge £800–£2,255 for 3-day versions of the same certification. We’ve designed an intensive, highly interactive format that meets the full ICAgile standard — without asking you to take an extra day off work or pay a premium price.

Your trainer is herself an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC). Most ICP-ACC providers teach coaching theory. Helen Meek practises as a professional coach every day. That difference shows in the room — in the quality of demonstration, the depth of feedback, and the coaching stance she models throughout every session.

How Does the Online ICP-ACC Course Work?

2-Day Intensive Live Online Programme

Delivered via Zoom and Mural, the course blends instructor-led sessions, interactive breakout activities, and group reflections. Regular breaks and a full hour for lunch keep you energised. Groups are typically around 12 people — small enough for genuine coaching practice, large enough for rich discussion. We finish with a powerful integration exercise that brings everything together.

No Exam — Assessed Through Your Participation

There is no written exam. To earn your ICP-ACC credential you’ll complete 4 hours of self-paced prework, attend a pre-course connection call, and participate fully across both days. Your certification is awarded through active engagement — not a test score. Your trainer is there to support you every step of the way.

Your Questions Answered — Guaranteed

Ask any question during the course — whether about Agile Coaching, real-world situations, or theory — and we guarantee you’ll get the answers you need. If we can’t answer it in the room, we’ll follow up after class. Or we’ll refund your money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any prerequisites for this course?

There are no formal prerequisites. However, we recommend foundational agile experience — such as a CSM®, PSM, or Agile Fundamentals course — before joining. This helps you get the most from the coaching practice and discussions.

Is there an exam?

No. There is no written exam. Your ICP-ACC certification is awarded through active participation and engagement throughout the course. Your trainer is there to guide and support you — this is a learning environment, not an assessment centre.

How should I prepare?

You’ll receive prework that includes 4 hours of self-reflection using the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel. There’s also a pre-course connection call to help you meet your fellow participants and arrive ready to engage from day one.

How many people will be in the class?

Classes typically have around 12 participants, 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 — and this is a deliberate choice. Coaching practice requires a safe space where participants can be open and take risks without concern about being on camera for a recording. Full attendance across both days is required by ICAgile for certification.

What software do I need?

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

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

We offer a full refund if you contact us before receiving your ICP-ACC certification. If your schedule changes, you can transfer your booking to a future class at no extra cost — just let us know at least 5 working days before the course starts.

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 us at talk@agileaffinity.com and we’ll get back to you quickly.
