We live in a world where anyone with a social media account can call themselves a coach. No formal training, no structure, no feedback loop. Just marketing, hashtags and half-baked wisdom.

But coaching isn’t casual advice. It’s a profession grounded in skill, trust, and presence.

Credibility matters. That’s why at Regal Unlimited, we align our training with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) standards, the most respected body in the global coaching industry.

So if you’re wondering: “Do I really need an ICF credential?”

The answer is simple. Only if you want to be taken seriously.

Why ICF Certification Matters, and Why We Built Our Programs Around It

Since 1995, the ICF has been at the forefront of defining coaching standards, ethics, and competencies that govern this transformative profession globally.

Let’s have a look at what an ICF-aligned journey with Regal Unlimited looks like.

Structured, Intentional Learning

ICF coaching certification is the benchmark for professional coaching, and it doesn’t come easy. The ICF doesn’t hand out certificates in a weekend. To become an ICF-certified coach, you need:

  • Coach-specific training through a structured, rigorous, accredited training program
  • Mentor coaching with experienced professionals
  • Practice hours prescribed by ICF, the unique framework we have 
  • A performance evaluation and a final knowledge-based assessment

We don’t just help you meet these requirements, but prepare you to live them. Our programs are immersive, challenging, and transformational.

The goal? Not just to accumulate hours, but to help you build your base, gain real coaching competence and stand out as a true professional.

 

Ethics Are Not Optional 

ICF-trained coaches commit to a Code of Ethics that goes beyond buzzwords. It holds coaches accountable to the highest professional conduct, including confidentiality, boundaries and honouring the client’s autonomy. 

At Regal, we take that seriously.  We help you internalize ethics as a way of being, something coaching crash courses or crash certifications often skip entirely. And also, stay away from bundling of offers with other non-coaching modalities.

Competencies That Shape Your Core

ICF’s 8 Core Competencies are fundamental, not just theory. They change how you listen, reflect, question, and embrace the essence of coaching.

At Regal, coaching becomes second nature.  We help you embody the competencies through a lot of practice, feedback, reflection, and mentor support. 

Anyone who’s been an alumnus with us will tell you the difference.

Global Credibility

Completing your ICF Coach Training doesn’t just earn you a certificate but also global credibility. Whether you’re coaching in India, the Middle East, or Europe, ICF Coach certification opens doors. Organizations actively seek out ICF coaches for leadership development, executive coaching, and team interventions. And clients? They trust the credential, and more importantly, they trust you.

Continuous Growth

ICF credentials are not one-time achievements. Coaches are encouraged to engage in CCE (Continuing Coach Education) and renew their credentials every three years, reinforcing a commitment to mastery.

Not the Fastest Route, But a Credible One

Getting an ICF credential is a slow-brewing process, and that’s the whole point. It is independent, peer-reviewed, and globally aligned. If you want to coach with depth and clarity, create meaningful client impact, and build trust from day one, then ICF is your foundation. And Regal Unlimited is your partner.

The Regal Edge in ICF Coaching: How We Go Beyond the ICF Curriculum

We don’t just train you to pass. Pursuing your ICF Coach certification with us, we prepare you to embrace the rigour and coach not just with presence, but beyond.

We believe coaching is transformational only when done at the soul or being level. We help you begin to observe your own patterns, biases, and beliefs, transforming not just how you coach, but who you are as a coach.

Whether you’re transitioning careers, adding coaching to your leadership role, or starting your own practice, we help you apply coaching in your unique context.
