WHO WE ARE
IDC Institut de Coaching SA, founded in Geneva in 1998, is a professional coaching training organisation and a leader in French-speaking Switzerland. The training programmes delivered are bilingual, in French and English. Certification leads to a Professional Certified Coach Diploma, accredited by several official organisations, namely the International Coaching Federation (USA) and EduQua (Switzerland). The training programme is characterised by an interactive and practical approach. It is delivered by an international team of trainers (Swiss, French and American), all professional coaches with extensive experience in a variety of fields, particularly in the corporate world.
The coaching certification training programme benefits from two accreditations: an international Level 2 accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF ) and the Swiss EduQua label, a quality certification for continuing education institutions. These accreditations apply to the training programmes delivered in both French and English.
OUR VISION OF COACHING
We have an optimistic view of the latent capacity of human beings. Coaching is a means of awakening, developing and realizing this capacity.
We believe in a world where everyone is responsible for their own success, for what they accomplish in life and their self-fulfilment.
We are convinced that the real performance starts with the valorisation of the human being, when individuals experience meaning in what they do.
IDC COACHING MODEL
Any sound structure must be built on solid foundations.
Using high-quality materials and a harmonious architectural design also ensures its durability and beauty.
This metaphor has guided us in building the IDC coaching model. We use it both in the coaching process itself and in our training approach.
The essence of this approach is to help individuals become aware of their full potential, their personal values and, in a word, their identity.
Integrating one’s deeper identity brings greater meaning and dimension to life.
International Coach Federation (ICF) is the largest professional coaching association in the world, with more than 56,000 members in 145 countries. Its aim is to preserve the integrity of this profession throughout the world through a code of ethics, precise professional standards and demanding quality criteria. ICF has established accreditation programmes for training organisations and professional coaches in order to ensure the quality of the services provided.
LEVEL 2 Accreditation
The IDC Certification Training is accredited LEVEL 2 (Accredited Coach Education) by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for a total of 156 training hours. ICF accreditation concluded an extremely rigorous review process of the entire training programme, its structure, its content and the quality of the training team, conducted by a group of independent experts.
