Practice-Led Agile Coaching (ICE-AC)

Ready to create sustainable change in your organisation? "It builds you into the Agile Coach the industry needs, rather than the Agile Coaches it usually has." — Chris Wolff, ICE-AC graduate Most Agile Coaching programmes teach in the classroom and leave you to apply it later. This programme is different. Over seven months, delivered online in a small cohort, you develop the four expert-level stances — professional coaching, mentoring, facilitation, and teaching — through structured skill drills, triads, and applied work with your real teams. Throughout, you receive direct, honest feedback from experienced cohort peers and programme leads who are actively coaching in real organisational contexts. Designed for experienced coaches, Scrum Masters and consultants and are ready to grow and be assessed on demonstrated capability, not just theory. For leaders: graduates don't just run ceremonies, they shift behaviour. Each participant completes 100+ hours of real-world practice during the programme, so the impact is delivered into your teams while they are still learning. This is not a repurposed coaching course; it is purpose-built for the ICAgile Expert in Agile Coaching pathway.
