What Is the Program Schedule?

Our Agile Coaching for Impact: ICF Level 1 Program is designed with adaptability in mind. The modular setup ensures that every participant can start when ready, choose their learning path, and revisit any session to reinforce their skills.

The certification journey begins with self-paced learning and continues through a rolling calendar of interactive sessions.

• Agile Coaching Development Sessions: Monthly, instructor-led, on Thursdays, 5–7 PM UK Time.
• Practical Coaching Labs: Fortnightly hands-on labs, with times chosen by your group (recommended Thursdays, 5–7 PM UK Time).
• Group Wisdom Sessions: Monthly collaborative learning and peer feedback sessions on Thursdays, 5–7 PM UK Time.
• Individual Mentoring: Three one-on-one sessions to cement your learning and support your ICF journey.

Learn by Doing!

Unlike traditional classroom-based learning, this program is designed to help you apply new skills and techniques directly in your day-to-day work as an Agile coach or Scrum Master.

Through a mix of practical labs, mentoring, and self-reflection, you’ll continuously reinforce your learning in real-time with real teams.

Each session is led by experienced, practicing coaches who guide and support you through real-world application of ICF core competencies and Agile coaching practices.

Validation

Throughout your coaching journey, you’ll work toward demonstrating the ICF core competencies in a way that’s relevant, contextual, and reflective of your style and growth.

The program includes three mentor coaching sessions and a final performance evaluation to assess your readiness for the ICF ACC credential.

In addition to structured sessions, you’ll keep a log of your coaching activities and reflect using the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel. We’ll provide you with a simple template and guide for this reflection and development process.

Once complete, our certified mentors will review your performance, offer personalised feedback, and ensure you are fully prepared to submit your ICF application with confidence.
