DescriptionLocation Program: FastTrack to ICF Certification (Level 1 / ACC) Provider: Coaching Out of the Box® — a division of International Coaching Group Overview The FastTrack to ICF Certification (Level 1) is a comprehensive, ICF-accredited coach training program that equips HR professionals, leaders, and people managers with the practical skills to coach effectively in the workplace. Delivered live online over approximately six months, the program provides 76 hours of coach-specific education, mentor coaching, and a performance evaluation, preparing participants to apply for the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the global gold standard for professional coaching. Coaching has become an essential HR and leadership capability. Organizations increasingly rely on coaching skills to develop talent, strengthen employee engagement, improve retention, and build cultures where people take ownership of their growth. This program gives HR professionals a proven, repeatable framework for having the kinds of conversations that move people forward, rather than simply directing them. The 5.5.5™ Coaching Model The program is built around the proprietary 5.5.5™ Coaching Model, which integrates three elements into a single, practical system: a clear conversational process, the essential coaching skills applied in context, and a coaching mindset that keeps the practitioner in a supportive, non-directive role. Rather than overwhelming participants with disconnected tools and theory, the model provides a decision-making architecture that reduces cognitive load, builds confidence quickly, and helps HR professionals coach consistently and ethically in real workplace situations. What Participants Learn Throughout the program, participants develop and practice the core competencies of professional coaching, including: Establishing trust and psychological safety in professional relationships Active, deep listening that goes beyond the words being spoken Asking powerful, open-ended questions that evoke awareness and insight Communicating directly and supportively without imposing solutions Partnering with others to set meaningful goals and clear action steps Holding space for accountability and follow-through Recognizing the boundaries of coaching and when to refer to other forms of support These skills map directly to the behavioral competencies in the SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK), particularly Relationship Management, Communication, Leadership & Navigation, Consultation, and Ethical Practice. HR professionals who complete the program are better equipped to lead performance conversations, support employee development, navigate difficult conversations, and contribute to a coaching culture within their organization. Format and Delivery The program is delivered live and online in interactive sessions led by ICF-credentialed faculty, most of whom hold the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) or Master Certified Coach (MCC) designation. Participants learn experientially, practicing coaching, being coached, and receiving direct feedback, rather than passively consuming content. The program includes 76 hours of coach-specific education, 10 hours of mentor coaching, and a performance evaluation, all aligned with ICF accreditation standards.
