Duration Study Load
This course includes an intensive three-day live workshop, supported by post-work online (done at your own pace within a set period). That work is made up of asynchronous readings, videos, an online learning journal, post workshop practice groups, and a reflective essay. The entire course runs over a six-week period and requires a total commitment of 44 hours (21 in the live workshop, and 23 in the pre-and-post workshop period; allow one or two hours in the days before the workshop and around four to five hours per week in the four weeks afterwards, in your own time).
Delivery
IECL courses are delivered through a hybrid model, including online discussion forums in a social learning community, and synchronous experiential workshops, which you can attend in person in some locations, or virtually from the comfort of your own home or office. This allows you the flexibility to choose the timing and learning option best suited to your needs.
Professional Recognition
Successful completion of all course requirements leads to IECL Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification, and if you are an IECL Member, use of the post-nominal CIECL.
Once you are certified at Level 1 you can start coaching right away, and we recommend that you do that, gaining as much practice as you can. You may also choose to continue on the path to deepening your knowledge through Level 1 Accreditation, and beyond to ICF credentials, or to broaden your coaching knowledge through Level 2 Certification, where you will learn more about the relational aspects of organisational coaching.
