I have completed Year 1 of the coaching and counselling online course at ACC and from this point I can truly recommend the program. It is offering a broad range of assignments where you can directly apply the acquired knowledge. The selection of the literature is diverse and matches well with the daily program. Moreover, in my opinion, the online format does not limit the interaction between the studentmates and teacher. You really get the real value of the classwork that remains fully engaging and rewarding.
Taking into account all the pros of the course I have decided to pursue year 2.

In my opinion Coaching and Counselling Year 2 program is a really well organised and well taught program. The theoretical part was interesting, the teacher was experienced and encouraging, the participants were open and authentic. Each study day we had the opportunity to practise methodologies and learn from each other and form our teacher. It was intense because coaching the test clients, having intervision and supervision meetings, reading and preparing for the study day I did in my after work time. Additionally It was also emotionally intense because before helping other people I needed to understand and deal with my own issues. Now I am inspired to share my knowledge and skills.

The modules are well-structured, covering both theoretical concepts and practical methodologies that are highly useful for application. They are designed to be accessible and beneficial to everyone, who is interested in counseling and coaching. Even beginners with no prior experience in counseling or coaching can easily grasp the content. For those with prior experience in these fields, the modules offer an opportunity to refresh you knowledge and gain updated insights and perspectives.

I completed two-year course in Coaching and Counselling with the ACC, and it has been a truly transformative experience. The first course focused on the fundamentals of coaching and counseling (on bachelor-level), while the second year was dedicated to continuing education and specialization. The curriculum was rich and well-rounded, with a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge, practical methodologies, and hands-on exercises.
I appreciated the material covered across a broad spectrum of areas, such as personal life and health, family and relationships, career and leadership, team dynamics, mourning, trauma, and recovery, conveyed by well trained and inspiring teachers, within a highly supportive community - this is what the ACC represents for me. It gave me confidence to support my clients in a wide range of areas, and I now have a solid toolkit of best practices and techniques to draw from.
Overall, I highly recommend the ACC for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in coaching or counseling, or seeking to further specialize in these fields. The program has empowered me to be a better coach and counselor, and I feel well-equipped to make a real difference in my clients’ lives.

I received comprehensive training on how to be an effective coach and counselor through ACC's Year 1 and Year 2 programs. The courses were conducted in person and in English. Although the program was affected by COVID measures, ACC took proactive steps to mitigate restrictions by transitioning to online classes. They also prioritized returning to in-person sessions as soon as possible, which I greatly appreciated. Their management of these challenges was commendable, and my learning experience was not impacted. The curriculum offered numerous opportunities to practice coaching with fellow participants and real clients, which was essential for building confidence and launching our own practice. I highly recommend ACC as an excellent introductory program for anyone aspiring to become a Coach and Counselor.

I completed the first and second year of coaching and counselling training in English, and I learned so much! I developed a wide range of skills, from basic listening and communication to coaching and counselling methodologies from various fields. What I appreciated most was the breadth of the training. It allowed me to explore a variety of specializations, from relationships and family, to well-being, trauma, and grief coaching. After this training, I feel like I have a well-equipped toolbox that enables me to support clients on almost any topic.
In addition, I found a beautiful and supportive community within my ACC coaching group!

I walked away from this training feeling equipped to deal with a range of clients that may come my way. The training programme (coaching and counselling year 1) is comprehensive, guided by incredible instructors and gives you ample time to practice your skills. Expect to work hard both during the class days and in your own time.

I’ve had a great experience at ACC! The education is both theoretically and practically strong. The study process was very personal, with a lot of practice with the peer students, test clients and valuable feedback from the teacher. The study materials are carefully chosen, with insightful readings and multiple useful practical techniques. I feel I gained a lot as a person and as a professional.
Happy to continue at ACC next year.
