The Australian College of Applied Professions (ACAP) has been awarded the International Coaching Federation (ICF) accreditation for its excellence in coaching education.
The four-year ICF accreditation applies to ACAP’s Graduate Certificate of Applied Coaching program for 170 program hours of coach-specific training.
This achievement is a result of a rigorous review process and demonstrates that ACAP’s coaching curriculum aligns with the ICF definition of coaching, Core Competencies and Code of Ethics.

“The accreditation process ensures that our coaching course meets the expected professional standards and gives students an extra layer of assurance that they will graduate with applied coaching knowledge that can immediately be used in the workplace.
“This means that graduates of the Graduate Certificate of Applied Coaching have met the training standards to apply for certification as an ICF accredited coach.
“It’s encouraging to receive this endorsement from the International Coaching Federation which reaffirms that ACAP are experts in applied education, delivering courses that meet the strict professional standards of accrediting bodies,” Associate Professor Pannell said.
