ACC Year 1 completed

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.

Intense and Inspiring

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.

One of the most thoughtful and complete study program in the field of Coaching & Counselling

The Academy for Coaching and Counselling (ACC) offers a unique and robust learning experience to enable you to enter into the world of supporting others in their life journeys. They don't offer a 'crash-course' or a quick way to obtain a certification, but a well-thought of study programs that make you reflect, dive into methodologies, and get in-depth insights on the craft of coaching and counselling. From the management, teachers, and facilities, the Academy for Coaching and Counselling ensures everything is set to provide their students with the most impactful learning experience and set them up to success.

I'm grateful I found and followed the ACC study experience, and as someone you followed it as a student and now an Assistant Teacher to new students, I can highly recommend it to whomever appreciates an eye-opening learning journey.

Highly Recommend the Academy for Coaching and Counseling (ACC)

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.

Comprehensive and Well-Managed Training for Aspiring Coaches and Counselors

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.

Excellent Coaching Program with Great Teachers and Support

I had a fantastic experience during my two years at the Academie voor Coaching en Counselling (ACC). The curriculum was clear and well-structured, providing a strong foundation in both theory and practical skills. The guidance on additional reading materials was incredibly helpful in deepening my theoretical knowledge. The experienced and knowledgeable teachers were truly inspiring, always available to offer support and insights. I also felt supported by the excellent supervision, and the opportunity to work with test clients allowed me to build my confidence and grow as a professional. Throughout the program, I felt safe and encouraged to work on my personal development, which added great value to my overall learning experience. I highly recommend ACC for anyone looking to pursue coaching or counselling.

Broad and Transformative Coaching Training with a Supportive Community

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!

Great experience with quality materials and strong practical orientation

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.
