Where will ACE courses take your development?

ACE organises coach development into three pathways: Learn, Deepen and Lead. 

Learn brings new evidence, tools and thinking into your practice. Deepen builds self-awareness through slower, more personal work. Lead prepares you to responsibly develop other. These pathways support you to continuously develop, not just tick the CPD box for accreditation renewals. 

Most experienced coaches will move back and forth between stages throughout their careers. Our learning model encourages you to encounter new concepts, bring those into your practice and, when the time is right, look to support others to develop.

As well as individual courses, we provide Learning Programmes. ACE Learning Programmes are curated learning series which focus on a core learning outcome. We bringing together multiple courses from across different pathways to maximise your development journey and enhance your learning experience. Learning Programmes also deliver exceptional value for money.

What you can expect from an ACE course

Grounded in evidence

All courses are grounded in peer-reviewed research or psychology. We don't repackage an idea without considering the theory underpinning it. 
We invite you to question evidence so you can confidently integrate science with your practice as a coach.

Delivered by experts

Every course is delivered by specialist faculty so that you are always learning from the subject matter expert. We never repackage anyone else's content, as we believe that the value of a course lies in the deep knowledge only they have.

Professional body aligned

All courses mapped against ICF, EMCC, AC and BPS competencies and standards, so you can easily evidence the work you have done to maintain your credential. Where appropriate, we supply ICF CCEs and AC CPD hours.

Practice ready outcomes

You will leave with something you can use in your next session. 
As practising coaches ourselves, we build every course around what is important for coaching practice, not just what's interesting to discuss or debate. 

Recognised CPD hours

Learn Courses

What are learn courses?

Learn courses bring academic evidence, new tools and techniques, and new concepts to experienced, practicing coaches.
Learn courses expand your knowledge base and encourage deeper engagement with current thinking relevant for your practice

Why choose a Learn Course?

To provide the substance behind being an evidence based coach.
To learn new tools and techniques that increase your coaching capability. 
To expand your knowledge and practice into new areas.
To satisfy your curiosity and love of learning.

What happens in a Learn Course?

Learn courses combine the science and theory behind a topic area with practical application.
This means that whether it is a webinar, masterclass, workshop or fully self-paced online course you choose, we invite you to engage, practice, question and reflect.

We are currently curating new content with our experts.

Learn Courses: Evidence Club

Evidence Club is a monthly webinar exploring the research most relevant to coaching practice. Each month we examine a piece of published research, consider the implications and wider evidence, and most importantly discuss what it means for coaching practice. View upcoming sessions below.

Evidence Club can be purchased as pay-per-session, or as a monthly Learning Programme subscription for a discounted price. 

Deepen Courses

What are Deepen Courses?
Deepen courses are where the more demanding work happens — slower, more relational, more personally confronting than Learn Courses, we are focusing in on the inner life of the coach. 
Why choose a Deepen Course?
ACE Deepen Courses are hard to find elsewhere: rigorous continuing development that takes the inner life of the coach seriously, not just their technique. Choose a Deepen Course to work on yourself to build your practice.
What happens in a Deepen Course?
Deepen asks coaches to stay genuinely open in territory they thought they'd already mapped. Expect to be challenged, to get uncomfortable and to genuinely develop your self-awareness and self-management.

Lead Courses

What is a Lead Course?
Lead courses stretch coaches who are ready to support the development of others. Supervision, mentoring and education of coaches are all areas covered by Lead Courses.
Why choose a Lead Course?
Lead is for coaches who are ready to develop others. The move into Lead isn't about seniority; It's about taking responsibility for the development of the next generation of practitioners — passing on what you've received, with the same rigour you'd expect for yourself. 
What happens on a Lead Course?
Lead courses cover the theory behind different developmental relationships, considering evidence relating to the differences and common factors when supervising, mentoring and educating other coaches. On a lead course, you can expect to deeply examine your own practice so as to better support others.
