What is the Team Coaching Certification?
The Team Coaching Program is delivered by ACT Leadership in partnership with Brown University's School and has been approved for the Advanced Accreditation in Team Coaching (AATC) through the ICF, providing a pathway to the Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC). The program runs over three months, available virtually or in a hybrid format with in-person sessions held in Providence, Rhode Island. It is designed for coaches with prior experience in 1:1 coaching who are ready to extend their practice to teams.
What you will learn
The program is renowned for helping coaches work with teams to excel in effectiveness, relationships, and performance. You will explore group dynamics, how individuals interact and hold each other accountable, and how to co-create innovative solutions across a team. With a greater emphasis on the team as the means to improve productivity and performance, the focus is on fostering the desired team culture and making a lasting impact on team engagement and sustainability.
What you will achieve
You will complete 70 hours of advanced team coaching training across two three-day modules and a field application project, giving you the practical experience to apply your learning in a real team context. You will graduate with a clear pathway to your ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching and the skills to lead teams toward greater performance, accountability, and lasting cultural change.
Module 1: Foundations
Module 1 builds the core skill set of a team coach and the lens you'll see teams through for the rest of your practice.
What you'll learn:
- Distinguish team coaching from facilitation, leading, and consulting
- Read teams as systems of human dynamics, not collections of individuals
- Build safety and trust through co-created team agreements
- Move teams from reactive tendencies back into creative performance
- Navigate difficult conversations that unlock new patterns
- Follow ACT's team coaching pathway for structured but adaptable engagements
You'll also begin a self-paced learning journey alongside the modules, including a set book, video content, and reflective activities.
Field Application: Coach a real team
Between Modules 1 and 2, you'll pair with a co-coach and run at least one 90-minute team coaching session with a real team, in a real workplace, before Module 2 begins. A 30-minute check-in call follows between Module 2 and the program completion call.
You source the team. ACT supports you through it.
Module 2: Application and range
Module 2 stretches your range as a Team Coach, working across more complex contexts and partnering directly with team leaders.
What you'll learn:
- Assess and improve a team's design conditions for success
- Partner with team leaders to set the team up to flourish
- Move through ACT's EASIER pathway via a full case study
- Sense and respond to conflict as it arises
- Build more inclusive teams that invite diversity of thought
- Help teams evaluate their growth at the end of a coaching cycle
Module 2 prepares you for the ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC), including sample exam questions, and closes with peer-feedback role-play.
Supervision
Three small-group sessions, run alongside the modules and guided by a qualified Team Coach Supervisor. The work is reflective and focused on you as the practitioner: your capacity, your blind spots, your thresholds. Distinct from mentoring or observation.

Got a question about our coaching programs?
Most participants who complete LPCC/Level 1 apply for their ACC Credentials, even while working towards their PCC credentials through the Next Level with Level 2 Add on. The PCC credential requires 500 practice coaching hours so most opt to obtain the ACC credential first. (Link: https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/icf-credentials-overview/pcc/)
Level 2 requires 125 hours of coach-specific training. Our LPCC Level 1 program provides 100 hours of training. To obtain your PCC, you will require an additional 25 hours. Our Next Level program with the Level 2 add-on provides the additional training hours as well as the Level 2 Performance Evaluation to become eligible for PCC credentials.To obtain the PCC with the ICF, you must complete 500 hours of practice coaching hours.
It depends. If you are already an ICF credentialed coach, then the LPCC program is not necessary for you. Have you been trained in another style of coaching? We recommend checking whether this follows the ICF Core Competencies and schedule a call with one of our Program Advisors who can advise. If you have been working as a coach without an ICF credential, then the LPCC program can help you obtain your ACC credentials. However, you cannot count any of your previous coaching hours as coaching practice. The ICF wants to make sure you are practicing the coaching from a credentialed coaching school.
Around 75% of the cohort composition is from North America. Of the remaining 25%, students are spread geographically from around the world.
In the application, you need at least 5 years of professional experience. There are a lot of senior people in our program, some retired, some as a second career, CEO, COO, consultants, educators. We look at your experience and how you want to apply the learning from the program.
No more than 24 people. With few exceptions, every cohort is full.
We've had some very senior leaders in our program, as well as emerging leaders and everyone in between.
When the cohort is virtual, we have a much broader geographical spread. Currently, 75% of our participants are based in the USA or Canada. We are proud to have trained and worked with a diverse range of leaders from various backgrounds, including actors, musicians, government officials, healthcare professionals and nonprofit workers, who all share a common desire to serve.

I wish I'd had coach training before becoming a CEO. Listening, really listening, and asking powerful questions is how value creation is accelerated, and it's how trust, confidence, and meaning at work become more accessible.
