Continuing Professional Development

Keep growing beyond your training — deepen your practice, sustain your wellbeing, keep your credentials current, and stay part of the GCA community. Delivered online, wherever you are in the world.

A coach’s learning doesn’t end at graduation. It’s the beginning of a lifetime of deepening — of skill, of self, and of the way you hold space for others.

GCA’s CPD program is a home for that ongoing journey. Whether you trained with us or elsewhere, you’ll find focused, accredited learning that fits around your practice — grounded in the four-body approach and the heart-and-soul methodology GCA is known for.

Continuing Professional Development at GCA

Why GCA CPD

Depth, accreditation, and belonging

GCA does not compete on volume with generic providers. Our advantage is depth, distinctiveness, and a community you return to for life.

Accreditation

Accredited, not improvised

GCA is an ICF Level 2 accredited academy. Our online sessions are designed to count toward your Continuing Coach Education credits.

Methodology

The four-body approach

Development across the physical, emotional, mental and energetic — depth that sets GCA apart from skills-only training.

Community

A community, not a catalogue

Small groups, familiar faculty, and reflective circles that keep you connected — you’re a member here, not a number.

What you can learn

Four streams of development

Choose a single session or follow a stream through the year. Every stream can be taken as a live class, a deeper intensive, or through your annual Passport.

Stream 01 · Available now

Coaching Practice & Wellbeing

The craft and sustainability of practice — the coaching relationship, working with resistance, somatic and mindfulness tools, ethics, boundaries and self-care, and reflective practice.

Stream 02 · Available now

ICF Core Competency Refresher

A structured refresh of the current ICF Core Competency model — ideal if you trained some years ago and want to re-ground your practice in today’s standard.

Stream 03 · Coming soon

Leadership Development

Grow as a leader, personally and professionally — including Vertical Leadership Development and the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant as a practical listening compass.

Stream 04 · Coming soon

Transformational Counselling

CPD aligned to GCA’s Transformational Counselling pathway and to counselling practice more broadly — same depth, same heart.

For ICF-credentialed coaches

A year of CCE, in one place

ICF credential-holders renew every three years by completing 40 Continuing Coach Education credits (one hour of qualifying learning equals one credit). Our sessions are built to count — so staying current is something you do a little at a time, not a scramble before your deadline. Every accredited session comes with a certificate showing its CCE type and hours.
