Coaching Skills for Impact Integration Session
A 3.5-hour live online session where your coaching comes together: you mark a coaching recording against the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Minimum Skills, learn how the ICF ACC exam is assessed and build your practice plan after about an hour of pre-work. It opens once you have completed the three Specialised Credentials, and is the final live piece of coaching skills for Impact.
Description
Coaching Skills for Impact Integration Session: Mark Coaching Against ICF ACC Standards and Plan Your Practice
Bring your coaching together in a final live session: mark a recording, find your gaps and build your practice plan.
|
Format: Live and instructor-led, online Duration: 3.5 hours live, plus about 1 hour of pre-work Language: English |
Opens: Once you have completed the three Specialised Credentials Class size: Typically around 12, maximum 20 |
Prerequisites: You need to have completed the three Specialised Credentials (IC-CHEB, IC-CHPS and IC-LSTN) before this session opens to you.
The Integration session is the closing live piece of Coaching Skills for Impact, our online coaching programme launching in April 2027. In one 3.5-hour live session you mark a coaching recording against the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Minimum Skills, find your own strengths and gaps, learn how the ICF ACC exam is assessed and build a plan for developing your practice.
It is practical from the start. You work on your own, in pairs and in groups of four, so you leave knowing where your coaching stands and what to do next. About an hour of pre-work comes first, and the session opens once the three Specialised Credentials are done.
Where Does the Integration Session Fit?
Coaching Skills for Impact starts with the Core Credential, Coaching (IC-COAC), then the three Specialised Credentials in any order and at your own pace: Coaching Ethics and Boundaries (IC-CHEB), Coaching Presence and Stance (IC-CHPS) and Listening and Inquiry (IC-LSTN). The Integration session comes last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior experience to attend?
You need to have completed the three Specialised Credentials (IC-CHEB, IC-CHPS and IC-LSTN), and the session opens once they are done.
Is there an exam?
No. There is no exam or final performance evaluation in this session. You learn how the ICF ACC exam is assessed, but you apply for the ICF ACC credential and sit the exam directly with ICF.
How should I prepare?
Complete the pre-work, about 60 minutes in five short tasks: complete the board registration, choose a real coaching context, read the ICF ACC Minimum Skills Requirements (30 minutes), read ICF’s published information on the ACC exam, and recall one coaching conversation with a behaviour that helped and one that did not. Nothing is marked.
Can I book this on its own?
Only once you have completed the three Specialised Credentials. See the Coaching Skills for Impact programme.
How many people will be in the class?
Classes typically have around 12 participants, with a maximum of 20.
Are the sessions recorded?
No. The live sessions are not recorded, so everyone can practise openly and take risks without a camera capturing it.
What software do I need?
For the live sessions you need the latest Zoom desktop application (not the web or mobile version), a stable internet connection, and a working webcam and microphone, with your camera on throughout.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We offer a full refund if you contact us before the end of the class. 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 class starts at talk@agileaffinity.com.
