Real Coaches. Real Results.
Hear It From Our Graduates
Don't take our word for it — listen to the coaches who've walked this path and earned their ICF credential through FastTrack.
This program was a perfect fit — exactly what I needed. From the moment I started, everything just clicked. My mentor coaching experience was truly one of a kind.
I really appreciated the diversity of instructors — it gave me a genuine insight into how to bring my own style into coaching, and a much deeper understanding of what coaching truly is.
At ICG, everything is in one place — I didn't have to piece together a program on my own. Out of the whole experience, mentor coaching stood out the most. I was nervous at first, but before long I couldn't wait to get into my next session.
I really enjoyed meeting other coaches and witnessing so many different coaching styles. The facilitators brought incredible value — and I finally got over my fear of coaching in front of others.
Coaching has impacted both my professional and personal life. I have a deeper curiosity, and I now practice active listening every day. What I really appreciate is how organized and clear the path to coaching is throughout the program.
My instructors were absolutely incredible. My cohort truly became my community — I still consider them my friends, and we continue to support each other to this day.

I am immensely grateful for the insightful guidance, the invaluable opportunity to practice in front of supportive peers, and the wealth of additional knowledge woven into every conversation.

Exceptional program with world-class client/student service, and motivational facilitators. I only signed up because it stood out among all the other schools I looked into and it was every bit as advertised and more. I am extremely happy with my investment.
