The pioneering reference school for Francophone coaching

Since 1999, the International Coaching Institute (ICI) has been training tomorrow’s professionals with standards of excellence and innovation recognized worldwide. Present in Switzerland, France, and over 20 countries, we have built our reputation on Swiss and French rigor and international openness.

Located in the heart of Geneva and Paris, crossroads of major international organizations, ICI is the first Francophone institution dedicated exclusively to coach training and team support. At the time, no other provider existed: we paved the way and helped structure a market that is now essential.

26 years of expertise and excellence dedicated to your professional future

With 26 years of experience, a presence in 23 countries, and a team of trainers all accredited MCC and PCC by the ICF (International Coach Federation), we offer a unique environment to develop your skills. Our thousands of alumni, now accomplished coaches, regularly testify to the impact of our training on their professional journeys.

A recognized mark of quality: the Institute is certified by the highest current standards, EduQua in Switzerland and Qualiopi in France. These labels guarantee the quality of our programs, the rigor of our pedagogical and administrative processes, and the relevance of our training for the professional development of our participants.

Our influence extends beyond our walls: many leaders of competing organizations were trained with us before creating their own structures. This speaks to the prominence of ICI as a benchmark.

In the Institute's DNA from the beginning…

Innovation

A pioneer in its field, ICI laid the foundations of Francophone coaching by creating the first training programs and paving the way for new practices. From the outset, the Institute anticipated the profession’s evolution by early adopting distance learning and introducing innovative approaches such as Professional Coaching, specialized Health & Wellness Coaching, NLP, CLEEN, and Appreciative Inquiry. This ongoing ability to explore and experiment with new teaching tools makes ICI a visionary player shaping the future of coaching. True to its mission of excellence, the Institute continues to innovate to disseminate best practices and help its coaches stay at the forefront of a constantly evolving profession.

Diversity

At ICI, diversity is a true strength: it is reflected in our faculty with varied backgrounds and cultures, in our students from around the world with unique profiles, and in our training programs designed to adapt to everyone. Our flagship program, MasterCoach ICI, offers a solid and flexible foundation enriched by professional specializations such as Health & Wellness Coaching, Skills Assessment, NLP, Team Coaching, Appreciative Inquiry, DISC, and CLEEN. This diversity allows each coach to build a holistic, personalized approach aligned with market needs.

Effectiveness and Results

At ICI, training goes beyond knowledge acquisition. We have designed a unique model where you experience your training as a genuine coaching process. No long breaks where you forget everything: you remain in a continuous, motivating, and pragmatic dynamic. The result: you progress quickly, gain confidence, and become operational rapidly.

A Broad Vision of Coaching

Coaching is a universal discipline. At ICI, you won’t only train alongside executives or HR managers: you will engage with consultants, educators, healthcare professionals, elite sports coaches, psychologists, artists, and creators. This exceptional diversity enriches each cohort and opens you to new perspectives.

Humanist Values

At the heart of our teaching is the human element. Listening, non-judgment, and valuing each person’s talents and strengths are central to our training. We cultivate a pedagogy of success, where personal growth and self-work are as important as skills acquisition. The warm atmosphere and positive energy that emerge from our groups are part of what profoundly impacts our participants.

But beyond skills, our true mission is to help each individual rise, achieve personal and professional goals, and build a better, more fulfilling life. For us, the essence lies in transmission: providing our future coaches with all the tools necessary to meet daily challenges and, in turn, support others toward a better life.

At ICI, we don’t just train coaches: we help women and men become the best versions of themselves and spread this transformation to those around them.

At the Institute, we believe that excellence in coaching relies as much on know-how as on interpersonal skills. Know-how is acquired through mastering the methods, tools, and professional competencies essential for effectively supporting clients.

But beyond technique, it is the interpersonal skills that make all the difference: quality presence, authentic listening, ethics, humility, and the ability to build a lasting relationship of trust.

That is why ICI places interpersonal skills at the heart of its teaching, helping each future coach develop their stance, personal alignment, and capacity to embody the values of coaching. We are convinced that without this human and relational foundation, know-how loses its impact.

The triple recognition: EduQua – Qualiopi – ICF

A mark of excellence, credibility, and opportunities at the national and international levels.

Training at the International Coaching Institute means choosing a pathway certified by three reference labels in Switzerland, France, and internationally. These recognitions reflect the pedagogical quality, the professionalism of our teams, and the added value of our training for future coaches.

100% online training programs.

— EFFECTIVE, FLEXIBLE, WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Why travel 300 or 3,000 km to attend training… when you can experience exactly the same from home?

With our 100% online setup, you access all the richness of in-person training:

  • Live sessions with trainers
  • Group and pair interactions
  • Personalized supervision
  • Practical work in sub-groups
  • Real-time experience sharing

But without the constraints: travel fatigue, transportation costs, childcare, hotels, restaurants, disrupted schedules…

And above all, often better results: studies show well-designed and supervised online training fosters better learning integration and faster application.

This is the choice of the largest international coaching organizations, and it’s the choice offered by the International Coaching Institute.

For over 26 years, we have trained thousands of professional coaches worldwide with innovative, rigorous, and human digital pedagogy.

Post-training success support

Becoming a coach means acquiring both know-how and interpersonal skills

Succeeding in this profession means learning how to make it shine, and we are here to support you on your path to success.

Obtaining a coaching certification is essential.
But bringing your project to life, finding your first clients, and building a sustainable business?
That’s what turns your training into real success.

At the International Coaching Institute, we don’t leave you alone after the training.
We have established a unique post-certification support system designed to turn your skills into tangible results.

1. The Coach Marketing Program

A 100% practical module, constantly updated with field experts, to teach you how to launch your business, define your offer, position yourself in the market… and above all: find your first clients.

2. The Success Support Group

An active community led by a Senior Business Coach, where you will be guided, supported, challenged, and directed for as long as necessary, until your business takes off.
No extra cost. No time limit.

At the Institute, your success doesn’t stop at the diploma. It begins with it.
You become a coach… and you are supported to succeed in embodying it fully.

Unlimited and free access to your training programs

With us, training doesn’t end at certification.

Once your journey is complete, you can return at any time:

  • Retake your training or selected modules
  • Participate again in classroom days
  • Update your knowledge at your own pace

At no additional cost. For life.

This is our way of offering you a true pedagogical safety net and allowing you to stay up-to-date, confident, and aligned in your practice, even long after your training has ended.

Classroom days offered to enrich your learning journey, at your own pace.

Our training programs are designed to be 100% effective online, but if you enjoy the energy of in-person sessions, you can also experience them in the classroom.

Throughout the year, we organize exclusive practice days, supervised training, and Master Classes, led by our MCC ICF trainers, and entirely free for our trainees.

These days, open to all our coaches in training, bring together up to 100 passionate participants, eager to meet, practice, share, progress, and build professional connections in a stimulating and supportive atmosphere.

The difference? These days are optional, as our distance learning model is complete and autonomous.
You choose your ideal format based on your preferences, goals, and schedule.

Update your knowledge and skills for free

And that’s not all: with the Institute, you also have the opportunity to retake any of our courses and participate in practice days or Master Classes, either in person or via webinar, as many times as you wish, once your training is complete.

A unique opportunity to refresh your knowledge, keep up with new developments as they arise, and always stay at the forefront of your field, without paying a single cent more.

At the International Coaching Institute, you don’t just take courses: you embrace living, evolving learning experiences that constantly keep your knowledge and expertise up to date.
