Become a Coach
Build your coaching career with the International Coaching Federation, one of the most established professional coaching communities in the world.
Coaching in the UK
Coaching is thriving in the UK. Organisations across the country invest in it, leaders train in it, and a growing community of professional coaches has built rewarding careers around it. People arrive from every direction: some to make coaching their profession, others to bring a coaching approach into the work they already do. If you are considering joining them, you are in the right place.
A credential the world recognises
An ICF credential is the most widely recognised mark of professional coaching in the world. It tells clients, and the organisations that commission coaching, that you have completed accredited education, developed your practice with the support of a mentor coach, and been assessed against a published standard of competence and ethics. In a market as established as the UK’s, where buyers of coaching know what to look for, that recognition matters from your very first client.
Support at every stage
A credential is not a single achievement but a path, from Associate to Professional to Master Certified Coach, renewed and deepened over a career. The UK Chapter of ICF supports that path locally. Throughout the year we run webinars and sessions on continuing coach education, on professional development, and on preparing for the move from one credential to the next, so that whichever stage you have reached, the next one is always within view.
Your next step
Every coaching career begins with the same quiet decision: to find out more. When you are ready, everything you need is on the ICF Global website, from finding accredited coaching education to understanding the credentials themselves. We look forward to welcoming you.
