Q: Do you accept bank transfer payments?
A: Yes. Once we receive the registration, Vivian Shou will issue an invoice. You can pay via our Singapore based DBS account as a direct deposit and avoid credit card and Paypal fees.
Q: What is the difference between the programs?
A: Our therapy program teaches you how to use the SF principles and processes in a therapy context. Our coaching program will enable you to earn professional credentials as a coach, with the ICF. This means you will be part of the global coaching community. Coaching can be a non-threatening and non-pathology based platform to help clients achieve what is important to them. In many contexts, coaching is a preferred way of connecting, especially to younger generations.
The Academy is accredited with the ICF as an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP), which includes Level 1 and Level 2. Both levels lead to accreditation. Level 1 leads to Associate Coach Credential (ACC) and Level 2 to PCC. Level 3 is MCC which is the highest credential with the ICF.
Q: What are the completion requirements with ICF for ACC or PCC?
A: Once your 1:1 mentor coaching and coaching hours (100 for ACC, 500 for PCC) are completed you can apply for the credential. You will need a Certificate of Completion (provided by our coaching academy) to apply.
