Most agile coaches reach a point where team-level work is no longer enough. The problems they are asked to solve involve leadership culture, organisational structure, and the way the whole system resists change. Getting there requires a different kind of coaching: one built around understanding how organisations actually change, how to build a business case that leadership will act on, and how to design a coaching strategy that survives contact with reality. That is precisely what ICP-CAT is designed to develop.
The ICAgile Certified Professional in Coaching Agile Transformations (ICP-CAT) is the advanced online certification for agile practitioners who want to operate confidently at enterprise scale: influencing leadership, shaping culture, and guiding complex change from the inside. The curriculum is built around four key areas of enterprise coaching, anchored throughout by Agile Affinity's own Agile Scoping model, a proprietary change framework developed through real transformation work at some of the world's largest organisations.
You will earn your globally recognised ICP-CAT credential and 21 SEUs towards Scrum Alliance renewal, across 2 intensive live online days. No written exam. Certified through active engagement and real-world application throughout.
Why This ICP-CAT Course Converts into Real Results
 |
You learn a proprietary change framework that no other ICP-CAT course teaches. The Agile Scoping model was built by Agile Affinity through real enterprise transformations at organisations including IAG Loyalty, Maersk, and Vodafone. It gives you a practical, repeatable structure for diagnosing organisations, contracting for change, and building a coaching strategy that actually gets implemented. You leave with a tool you can use on Monday morning, not a slide deck you will never open again. |
 |
Most ICP-CAT courses are run by a single trainer. This one has two, in the room together for both days. Your trainers bring genuinely different perspectives to every topic: professional coaching presence on one side, enterprise delivery and transformation results on the other. That tension is deliberate. The conversations it creates between them and with the group are often where the most useful learning happens. You are getting two careers' worth of enterprise coaching expertise for the price of one course. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
Yes. Participants should have at least three years of experience working in an agile environment, with practical knowledge of frameworks such as Scrum or XP and scaling approaches such as LeSS or SAFe. Experience coaching agile teams and a background in organisational development or change management is strongly recommended. The course is designed for experienced practitioners, not those new to agile.
Is there an exam?
No. There is no written exam. Your ICP-CAT certification is awarded through active participation and engagement throughout the course. Your trainers are there to support you throughout: this is a learning environment built around real-world application, not an assessment centre.
How should I prepare?
You will receive prework in advance of the course. It helps to reflect on transformation challenges you are currently facing: the programme is specifically designed to help you work through real situations, so the richer your context, the more you will take away. There is also a pre-course connection call where you will meet your fellow participants and arrive ready to engage from day one.
How many people will be in the class?
Classes are capped at 12 participants. We keep the class size small deliberately: enterprise coaching practice requires real conversation and personal feedback, and that is not possible in a large group. You will know everyone in the room by the end of day one.
Are the sessions recorded?
No, and this is a deliberate choice. Coaching practice at enterprise level requires a safe space where participants can be open about real challenges without concern about being recorded. Full attendance across both days is required by ICAgile for certification.
What software do I need?
You will need the latest Zoom desktop application (not the web or mobile version), a stable internet connection, a working webcam, and a microphone. You will also use Mural for collaborative exercises: no account is required, just a browser. We recommend using a personal computer on public-facing courses wherever possible. ICAgile requires your camera to be on throughout.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We offer a full refund if you contact us within 14 days of purchase. 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 are happy to help. Email us at talk@agileaffinity.com and we will get back to you quickly.
