Equipping You For the Future
Coaching is one of the fastest growing professions and is enabling positive change in people’s communication skills, performance, confidence and many other aspects of their behaviour and mindset.
In an environment that is increasingly complex and constantly changing, coaching is a powerful tool to help people navigate situations, tasks, challenges, goals and aspirations for greater success, fulfillment and wellbeing.
Organisations too, more than ever before, need the skills and principles of coaching in order to develop a culture that is inclusive, accountable, innovative and agile. Organisations with these qualities are better able to handle the complexity and speed of change of today’s business environment. Research clearly indicates that organisations with coaching capability and culture are more likely to be high performing, more equipped to handle change and experience better financial performance and growth than other organisations within their industry sector.
This complete package also offers sufficient coach-specific training hours for those who may wish to apply for their ACC Credential and provides 76.25 ICF Accredited Coach-Specific Training Hours (ACSTH). Our programmes are currently in the process of transitioning to the ICF’s new Level 1 and Level 2 programme accreditation system. This will take effect in 2023 and will not impact the curriculum, dates, timings or pricing of our 2023 cohort offering.
It is possible to complete certain modules of this programme as standalone training, please contact us to discuss.
This programme can also be run internally for a group or organisation, please contact us to discuss further.

We value our alumni community. Once you’ve completed a coach training programme with Coach Advancement by Tracy Sinclair, you will unlock a number of exclusive benefits including discounts, coaching clinics, peer coaching, social impact project opportunities and more! Learn more about the ways we continue to support coaches who have trained with us here.
“Where does one start… Tracy has the uncanny knack of making everything seem so easy, I even dared to mention it because she literally made a coaching exercise look as if it had been rehearsed (which I totally accept was not the case). If that was not enough, her facilitation technique and ability to engage us all with the conversion made me feel 100% engaged and inspired in the art of coaching.
“A fantastic course professionally run to a high standard. The modules stood alone and built upon each other to leave me with a very clear understanding and knowledge of the highest levels of professional coaching. The course was diverse, inclusive and supportive, and I would recommend it to beginners as well as coaches wishing to expand their skills.”
“Thank you for the Science and Art of Coaching programme. Alongside the course, I enjoyed the book, Becoming a Coach: The Essential ICF Guide. It is a great go-to reference, and like the coaching course itself, it will be a valuable influence on me and many others way beyond our initial ICF Training. These excellent courses will have a lasting impact on the profession as well as the people in it.”
“Anyone who wants to be a coach and wants to be an amazing coach, I will recommend them to go to this course. The format, structure, quality and tutors are outstanding. Tracy and Hilary have very high standards of work and ethics. Their dedication and commitment to train excellent coaches is evident in every detail of the programme. I feel very lucky to have found this programme.”
