Be Authentic.
Be Inspiring.
Be Present.
Be Coach.

Welcome to BeCoach Academy, where the coaching mindset is lived in every moment of connection.

We believe that every individual has limitless potential and resourcefulness. When this inner potential is activated, it creates waves of change first in the individual’s life, and then in the lives of others.

This is where coaching begins. 

Just like a single drop makes ripples across the surface of water, coaching begins with one individual transformation. From there positive change expands outward touching teams, organisations, and communities.

You’ve always been the one people turn to? The listener. The guide. Now, it’s time to turn your gift into a professional skill set!

Be You. Be Coach.

    How is BeCoach Academy different from other coaching schools?

    BeCoach Academy offers a transformational learning experience. Our approach is deeply experiential, practice-based, genuinely caring and focussed on personal growth from the inside out. 

    You’ll join an international learning community that stays connected long after certification, with ongoing events, peer mentoring, and exchange via our LinkedIn and WhatsApp communities.

    What does it mean to be part of the BeCoach Academy?

    Becoming part of BeCoach Academy means so much more than joining a course. 

    You will become part of a vibrant, diverse community of fellow coaches. At BeCoach Academy, we teach coaching as a way of being. We see coaching as a lifestyle rather than a tool or a method. 

    Here, transformation doesn’t happen through theory alone. It happens through practice, celebration, challenge, and through the relationships you build along the way.

    Our experienced trainers hold space for you to grow at your own pace while gently encouraging you to stretch beyond what you thought was possible. At the end of every training weekend and even in our coaching lab sessions we take time to celebrate our challenges and learnings. 

    Of course, you’ll step outside your comfort zone, but always in a safe space of trust and support. At the end, you’ll discover strengths you didn’t even know you had.

    You’ll find support whenever you need it – within the community and from your trainers.

    Who is BeCoach Academy for?

    BeCoach Academy is for people who care deeply about others and about the world they live in. It is a space to support the growth of people who are committed to do the inner work required to embody an authentic coaching stance. 

    Whether you’re a leader wanting to empower your team, a professional seeking more purpose and depth in your daily work or you are just curious to learn more about coaching – you’ll find a place here. 

    We welcome learners from all walks of life – no matter what age, no matter if you are an introvert or an extrovert. What we all share is a dedication to personal development, a willingness to change our perspective and connect deeply with other human beings. At BeCoach you just come as you are.

    Why should I choose an ICF-accredited coaching programme?

    An ICF-accredited coaching programme ensures you to build your skills to a globally recognized professional standard

    Choosing an accredited pathway not only sharpens your coaching competencies but also strengthens your credibility. It can open doors to new career paths, leadership opportunities, organizational coaching roles as well as your own coaching business.

    BeCoach Academy’s training is grounded in the ICF Core Competencies, preparing you for success wherever your coaching journey takes you.

    Which ICF credentials can I achieve with a BeCoach Diploma?

    The BeCoach Academy Diploma prepares you to apply for both the ACC (Associate Certified Coach) and, with our advanced coaching certificate, the PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credentials from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). 

    Our training programs meet educational requirements for both levels and provide full guidance throughout your certification journey — from mastering the ICF Core Competencies to building your coaching hours with confidence. Compare our individual programmes here. 

    What are the ICF Core Competencies – and why do they matter?

    The ICF Core Competencies are the foundation of professional coaching according to the International Coaching Federation. They define what effective, ethical, and transformative coaching looks like and guide us how we train at BeCoach Academy.

    There are eight core competencies, grouped into four key domains:

    Foundation: Upholding strong ethics and embodying a coaching mindset

    Co-Creating the Relationship: Building trust and creating clear coaching agreements

    Communicating Effectively: Listening deeply and asking powerful questions

    Cultivating Learning and Growth: Helping clients turn insight into meaningful action

    By integrating these principles into our training, we ensure our coaches are equipped to create impact with integrity, clarity and confidence.

    What is your coaching style – and how can I experience it?

    At BeCoach Academy, we see coaching as a thought-provoking partnership. Our coaching style is rooted in the belief that every person holds the answers within.

    The coach is guiding the journey of the coachee inward to uncover their true values, shift limiting beliefs and unlock the full potential to be truly authentic. 

    A coach walks alongside the client, not as an instructor, but as a facilitator. Through deep listening and powerful questions coaching creates a space for self-discovery and autonomy. It’s in this space where awareness grows, new perspectives emerge, and real change begins.

    Do you want to experience this first-hand?

    We host regular events. We share our knowledge openly and widely on social media. Every three months (roughly) you are invited to join our free coaching hands-on online live event.
