Pricing is designed to preserve dignity and reciprocity, with limited fully subsidized slots made possible by donors and grants.

Where professional development meets social good
When you certify with ICG, you develop mastery and credibility — and you contribute to community resilience. This isn't an add-on; it's built directly into the structure of how we train coaches.
Your required practice hours are fulfilled through real sessions with real clients. The result is a richer, more grounded certification experience for you, and genuine professional coaching for them.
