International Coaching Certification

This training is for people who want to work as a coach to support clients to achieve their personal or pro-
fessional goals, as an independent coach or for people who want coaching skills as an additional qualification
for their profession.It ensures that the delivered knowledge and experience is sufficient to support clients to
achieve their goals or to improve their development in personal or professional areas.

The training gives you the required tools and techniques but you will also identify your own special coaching
style and the way how you want to work and how you can be successful as a coach. You develop your own
models and you will identify your individual qualities as a coach that makes you different from others.

The KISS-model

The KISS-model (Keep It Simple and Start) demonstrates the different steps during a coaching session or
process and is based on experiences in business and life coaching. It integrates several coaching techniques
and is a guideline, which can be easily applied in coaching. But it can also be modified into an individual model,
depending on the client's issue or depending on how you want to use it in coaching, in your individual way.
