Pablo Leites, President, of The International Coaching Group Inc., The International Coaching GroupAt The International Coaching Group, we have trained over 55,000 students worldwide, guiding them through the complex yet rewarding journey of earning ICF credentials, the gold standard in coaching certification. Our mission is simple: make professional coaching education accessible, practical, and transformative for everyone.
As organizations increasingly recognize the value of coaching, and as individuals seek career autonomy and financial independence, the question is no longer “Should I learn coaching?” but rather “How do I choose the best coaching education?”
The true value of coaching lies in its ability to empower individuals to find their own solutions, rather than simply providing expert advice like traditional consulting. While consulting focuses on diagnosing problems and offering recommendations, coaching fosters self-discovery, accountability, and long-term behavioral change. This makes coaching a powerful complement to consulting, ensuring that strategies are not just developed but also successfully implemented and sustained.
For those looking to make an impact, whether as independent coaches or leaders integrating coaching into their organizations, choosing a high-quality, ICF-accredited coaching education is key.
This is where The International Coaching Group stands apart.
A Structured and Accessible Path to Coaching Certification
Becoming a Certified Coach Requires:
● Passion – A genuine desire to help others grow and succeed.
●Structured Learning – A well-rounded education in coaching principles, techniques, and ethics.
● Mentorship – Guidance from experienced coaches to refine skills and gain confidence.
● Practice – Hands-on coaching experience to build expertise and credibility.
● ICF Certification – A globally recognized credential that enhances professional opportunities.
● Navigating Requirements – Completing necessary training hours, mentoring, and exam preparation to meet ICF standards.
Our Fast Track to ICF Certification Program was designed to remove these barriers, providing an efficient, immersive experience that:
● Condenses certification timelines from years to just six months.
● Blends practical coaching sessions with structured coursework aligned with ICF Core Competencies.
● Provides the most extensive mentorship available, including mentor coaching hours with top industry experts to refine skills and meet ICF requirements.
● Offers a strong peer coaching network, allowing students to gain hands-on experience and complete required coaching hours.
This approach has enabled our students to transition seamlessly into successful coaching businesses or integrate coaching into leadership roles within their organizations.
Coaching as a Career: Flexibility, Financial Freedom, and Impact
For those considering a transition into full-time coaching, the profession offers something traditional employment often does not:
● Schedule autonomy – The ability to set your own hours and work from anywhere.
● Financial independence – Earning potential that scales with experience and specialization.
● Purpose-driven work – The chance to empower individuals and organizations through transformation.
The rise of online coaching has further expanded opportunities, enabling coaches to work with clients globally, build thriving businesses, and integrate coaching into leadership roles.
ICF data shows that the global coaching market continues to grow, with certified coaches earning 48% more than their non-certified counterparts. The need for skilled coaches is rising, and our graduates step into this demand fully prepared.
One of our students, John Hill, put it best:
"The International Coaching Group program was one of the best training investments I ever made."
Beyond Coaching Businesses: Transforming Organizations from Within
While many of our students launch independent coaching practices, others leverage their training within corporate leadership, human resources, and team development.
A 2020 ICF and Human Capital Institute study found that organizations that integrate coaching report:
● 21% higher productivity and performance outcomes.
● Improved employee engagement and job satisfaction.
● Stronger leadership pipelines and internal talent development.
For companies, coaching is not an expense, it’s an investment in sustainable leadership and workforce excellence. Our graduates bring coaching into their companies, strengthening their teams and advancing their careers in the process.
As Kerri Sutey, one of our students shared:
"Participating in this program has not only deepened my coaching skills but also empowered me with the confidence to show up more fully with my coaching clients."
A Learning Experience That Goes Beyond the Classroom
What truly differentiates The International Coaching Group is how we bridge theory with real-world coaching applications.
Our students benefit from:
● Jumpstart Coaching – Experiential learning with PCC/MCC-certified instructors.
● A Community of Practice – A built-in support system for completing required coaching hours.
● ICF Exam Preparation – A structured approach leading to a 99% first-time pass rate (compared to the global average of ~70%).
As one of our former students, Kuda Chapuredima emphasized:
"Exceptional program with world-class student service and motivational facilitators."
The journey to becoming a professional coach is both personal and professional. We ensure that every student not only meets certification requirements but also develops the confidence, strategy, and support system needed for long-term success.
