IECL Hong Kong - World Leaders in Coaching

Join our accredited coach training program, open to people with some experience in the corporate arena (public or private) or a background in the fields of management, human resources, facilitation, consulting, psychology, counselling, training, education or leadership. Ideally, trainees also hold a degree or some equivalent work-life experience. There are no specific prerequisites for the program, but we do expect clients to have a learning mindset and some experience in how organisations operate. Each level of training requires the previous level to be completed first. Coaching Essentials 1 and 2 are prerequisites for our Principles of Organisational Coaching (POC) and Team Coaching.
IECL education and coach training in Hong Kong are conducted in Cantonese (some Hong Kong courses), Mandarin (some China courses), and English (all other courses). Language of instruction is indicated in each course listing.

Coach Training
The accreditation program includes three consecutive levels of organisational coach training, with each level being taught in a blended learning environment, including online learning with a three-day experiential workshop. To get your coaching certification in Hong Kong, you will receive rigorous and practical training in organisational coaching and you can graduate after Coaching Essentials Level 1 or 2 with an IECL Certification in Organisational Coaching Essentials at that level. After Level 3, you will receive IECL Accreditation in Organisational Coaching (the full ACTP program) and be recognised by ICF Hong Kong, for credentialing purposes. You may also apply for credentials via the ACSTH method using our ACC Fast Track program. With its comprehensive, growth-focused programs, IECL is one of the best places in APAC to get an executive certificate in leadership coaching.

Individual Organisational Coaching
Working with an IECL coach one-on-one is a good investment with a proven track record of producing results. High-performing organisations and institutions engage IECL coaches to accelerate the development of their best and brightest through a series of coaching conversations typically over a 6-month period. The engagement also involves the participation of a manager or sponsor at multiple intervals to ensure expectations and measures of success are aligned.

Executive Coaching in Hong Kong
When it comes to executive coaching in Hong Kong, we provide an inimitable opportunity to truly think differently on a multicultural, multi-faceted scale that reflects the region’s corporate arena. IECL’s approach to coaching at the C-Suite level is to support and challenge an executive’s understanding of their role and influence, resolve complex challenges, achieve significant outcomes, and have real impact across the entire organisational system.

Team Coaching
On a larger scale, IECL works with top teams — enabling them to fully function in a self-sufficient and efficient professional ecosystem. The goal is to work collectively, to be greater together than the sum of its individual members. Team coaching increases the teams’ capability to think outside the box and take decisive action. Team dynamics improve, which in turn, results in a team that can learn, adapt, and grow as required for maximum performance.

IECL courses deliver a holistic organisational coach-training program conducted by practising organisational coaches who are also excellent facilitators of adult learning. Additionally, our program is very practical, with 65% coaching practice in Coaching Essentials Level 1. You will learn how to coach through the experience of coaching and being coached, guided by experienced and qualified industry professionals. This is not purely theoretical training, as application and usability are part of your intended growth outcomes. IECL offers comprehensive support to all our alumni in the form of the Community of Practice, such as ongoing professional development forums, co-coaching circles participation, CPD activities, and access to IECL’s subject matter experts and library of resources. Those that join our membership program are further supported as they develop their skills and progress to a coaching certification in Hong Kong.

IECL’s coach training program is accredited by the International Coach Federation and is, therefore, internationally recognised. IECL also has a very strong reputation for corporate coaching and coach training in Hong Kong and beyond, with our multinational client companies.

The ICF accredits programs (like ours) and credentials coaches (like you!). The best way to understand more about the ICF’s credentialing process is via their website. The easiest way to attain an ICF credential is via the ACTP pathway, but that means completing Levels 1 to 3 with us first. You can apply to ICF Hong Kong after IECL Level 2 via the ACSTH pathway but you will need to jump through extra hoops (including six mentor coaching sessions, which we can help you with via our ACC Fast Track program).
