Become a Coach
Professional Coach Training Programme
Become the professional coach who watches, shares ideas, listens and challenges with impartiality and without prejudice!
Our seasoned trainers and Master Certified Coaches at the International Coach Federation look forward to introducing you to the fascinating world of coaching.
During this 18-day journey, you will have every opportunity to experiment and master the craft. You will learn how to coach on the level of competencies, as well as on the level of values, beliefs and identity in order to enable permanent shifts.
We allow only 14 participants in each training course. This ensures that each participant will have the trainer’s full attention and that we can share experiences and learn from each other in an open and honest way.
Magaly and Dorothée look forward to welcoming you to the next course and to sharing their best practices from a business context, as well as their bloopers.

What can you do with this certificate?
The ‘Professional Coach Training Programme’ has received the significant ACTP recognition by the International Coach Federation (ICF)! This recognition means a lot to us, as Coaching the Shift strives for outstanding professionalism in a world where coaching has become a real hype. What does the ACTP label mean?
This means that our programme meets the strict requirements set by the ICF for recognition as an accredited programme. As a result, Coaching the Shift has the ICF mandate to conduct examinations on their behalf. This allows our students to apply for an individual ICF Credential, such as Professional Certified Coach (PCC) via the ACTP path instead of the longer and more expensive path of the portfolio. Participants in our ACTP recognized programme who have the necessary competences at the end of the programme can then receive a certificate with ICF-PCC label, provided they join the Federation and submit proof of the necessary hours of practical experience.

Meet your guides & companions throughout the training
The coaching programme is led by three experienced Master coaches. Over years of study, practice, and personal growth, we have decided to contribute to the craft of coaching through our own training programme. In addition to our personalized approach and guidance throughout the journey, we also incorporate practical coaching tools and exercises. You can learn more about our coaches here.
"No question can exist without there being an answer to it"
Coaching offers space to enter into a deeper dialogue with focused intention, in order to search together for the best answers for the coachee with regard to his predetermined goals, values and identity. The coach masters the art of asking 'powerful questions': questions one cannot find an answer to immediately, because this answer is still in the unexplored territory of consciousness. By being present without any pressure and with much love and gentleness, the answer will emerge from a deeper layer of consciousness and is therefore often very powerful.
