As we enter into Round # 8 of Coaching School, we are not as of yet ICF accredited. HOWEVER, we do have an amazing update regarding ICF accreditation. Our application for ICF has been submitted. The ICF is reviewing our application and we are hoping to become accredited soon (although there is no guarantee). Our actual curriculum has actually already been approved by the ICF on a PCC level. There is just a little more to go to get accreditation. Should the ICF grant us with accreditation, then the accreditation begins from the day the application was submitted. This means that students in the  Coaching Certification Track of Round # 8 will retroactively already be participants in an ICF accredited program. We have already updated our curriculum, supervision hours, and training hours completely based on the ICF requirements for accredited programs. While there can be no absolute guarantees, our conversations with the ICF have let us know that we are in compliance with their requirements.

As with any program, when the ICF gives their accreditation to a program, it means that the program covers all of the training, supervision, and testing that the ICF requires for that particular level of training.

However, even after completing an accredited program, there are still more requirements from the ICF in order to get your actual certification. Most of these requirements involve hours of coaching practice. 

The ICF website https://coachingfederation.org/ has updated information about their final requirements for applying for their certification. 

The Coaching School meets the requirements to certify you to coach all over the world servicing all populations. With this certification, you will be able to coach on a personal or corporate level.

All this is true even without ICF Certification. Our school's in-house certification process includes a written exam, 60 hours of coaching practice, and a recorded session.

There are two tracks in our school. The first track is The Self-Development Track. The second track is the Coaching Certification Track.

The Self-Development students and the  Certification students both attend the Monday live Zoom classes together. Students in both tracks also attend the 2 Intensive Workshops together. Students in both tracks receive the same weekly pre-recorded classes and weekly pre-recorded sample coaching sessions. 

Although students in both tracks receive wonderful coach training along with an adventurous and compassionate personal journey there are still quite significant differences between the 2 tracks. The Self-Development program is once a week and the Certification program is twice a week. The following is a list of offerings that students receive in the  Certification track above what the Basic Coach Training track has to offer. 

1. Six Sundays of live training where we take a “Deep Dive” into a number of different very important topics. Topics include The Healing Model, Perspectives, Saboteur, Life Mission, Process Work, and Business and Marketing Training. These Sunday “Deep Dives” are 4 ½ hours each and total an extra 27 hours of live classes. 
2. Six Observed Coaching Sessions for each student. These coaching sessions take place partially during the Monday Zoom classes and mostly on Sundays in a group setting that is no larger than 10 people. Each student will receive written feedback for four out of the six sessions. The groups will meet over nine Sundays for two hours each.
3. Ten Mentor Coaching hours for each student. Seven out of the ten mentor coaching hours will be done in a group setting. The groups will meet over nine Sundays for two hours each. Three out of the ten mentor coaching hours will be done one-on-one with Rivka Malka. 
4. A final Performance Evaluation will be administered to each graduating student. The final performance evaluation contains an actual observation of coaching at least one half-hour to one hour in length. Students will receive written feedback/scoring for their performance evaluation that provides information regarding their performance on each of the ICF Core Competencies.
5. Maybe most important - The curriculum is designed to provide the full training for an accredited ICF Level 2 (PCC) course. This means that should we be granted with ICF accreditation, students will have everything they need to apply for Level 1 (ACC) or Level 2 (PCC) certification from the ICF. Of course, there are additional requirements from the ICF above the training you receive in order to apply for certification from the ICF such as their required amount of coaching hours. 
6. The 2 Intensive Workshops are for students in both tracks. However, the Basic Coach Training students attend the workshop for 2 hours and the Advanced Coach Training with Certification students attend for 4 and a half hours to receive additional training.

In both tracks, students learn the tools for transformation and experience their power in real time and through pre-recorded classes. They learn about the language of love, holding space, untangling triggers, personal empowerment, authentic voice, and more. Women who have participated have consistently reported massive shifts in their lives and transformations in their relationships. Both tracks enjoy the community support that forms amongst the women. As the student body works together to grow their skills, friendships are formed and beautiful openings often occur. This makes for a vibrant, supportive, and open-hearted learning experience.

The Certification track is designed to give you the most comprehensive coach training in the shortest amount of time so that you can begin coaching with confidence and clarity as soon as possible. The focus is on providing many more hours of live coach training, supervision, and personal mentorship. The school is involved and takes interest in every student on a personal level. In addition to everything else, the three one-on-one mentor coaching sessions with Rivka Malka attest to the school’s dedication to creating the most compassionate, talented, and versatile coaches who are equipped to lead women on a healing journey to their best selves. 

Our school has trained hundreds of coaches from around the world and our student's feedback consistently is that this is the best program they have ever attended. Their clients as well have reported having life-changing experiences of healing that were previously unavailable to them. 

Our belief is that "You can only take a person as high up the mountain as you yourself have gone." To this end, we challenge our students to courageously coach and get coached, and to grow and help others grow, all within the training. Being trained in this experiential way is an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. Our students graduate confident and clear in their coaching abilities ready to take on paying clients or to serve at the business or communal leadership level.

We are very proud of our graduates!

The Extended Immersive Workshop is the culmination and integration of all the growth and learning of each module. In these online workshops, we journey together through a series of powerful personal exercises. It's a celebration of your transformation! The workshop is 2 hours long for the Basic Coach Training Track and four and a half hours long for the Advanced Coach Training with Certification Track. The workshop generally starts at 12:00 PM (EST).

Our Advanced Coach Training with Certification Track has 128 contact hours.

To understand this more, here is a quote from the ICF website defining what contact hours are. "Contact hours: Clock hours spent in synchronous (real-time) interactions between faculty and participants and asynchronous or clock hours spent outside of real-time interaction between faculty and participants. Synchronous contact hours can include time spent in direct instruction, real-time discussions, observation and feedback or practice coaching sessions, and mentoring participants. Asynchronous contact hours can include outside reading, writing, research, journaling, practice coaching and various other activities that may occur outside of the synchronous setting."

Our 128 contact hours are made up as follows:

Yes. This probing training will stretch your skills at whatever level you are at. We have had many therapists and classically trained coaches tell us that despite their previous experience they learned entirely new approaches at the Coaching School. We are proud to say that one of the most common feedback we receive from our students is that out of all the many training programs they attended, this one was the best. Our goal is to continue making it better and better.

Rivka Malka is trained in CoActive coaching through CTI - The Co-Active Training Institute. In addition, she is trained in Somatic Work, Inner Child Work, and Business Coaching.

Our training is experiential. Although we do not always quote text outright, please be advised that everything we teach is deeply rooted deeply in Torah sources. Some of these include The Ramchal, Chovos Halevavos, Meslias Yesharim, and Rebbi Nachman, as well as more contemporary sources like the Aish Kodesh, Nesivos Shalom, and the Alai Shor.

Along with your coaching resources, you will receive the Torah sources for these ideas straight from the text. You will love seeing these powerful truths in black and white.

The school is for women only, so we do not accept men into the program. Our prerequisite for enrollment is that the student is female and that they are 18 years old and above. However, we do reserve the right in certain instances, to not allow for specific potential participants to join the course. For example, if we feel that the course would not be good, healthy, or safe for someone, or we feel that they would not be a good fit with the other students in the course, we exercise our right to not allow that person to join. We also reserve the right to remove any student from a course if they are having a deeply negative impact on the rest of the participants or on the learning environment.

There are 2semsters in the program. Each semester is approximately 3 months.

Core classes are on Mondays from 1:00PM - 3:30PM est. This is for both tracks.

Additionally, Deep Dives,  Immersive Extended Workshops, Mentorship, and Supervision take place on Sunday for the Advance Coach Training with Certification Track students.

Please refer to the other FAQs for the full schedule of each track.

Basic Coach Training Track:

Yes, in order to graduate, you have to listen to all of the pre-recorded classes. We want you to have the most incredible journey of growth and learning. Each pre-recorded class is targeted at a different tool and topic. We would not want you to miss out. 

Advanced Coach Training with Certification Track:

The pre-recorded classes contain the core material of the coaching tools you will be using. Each one is targeted at a different topic and tool. They are mindfully and intentionally planned. In following all of the rules of the ICF, our school is required to keep track of every student making sure that all of the pre-recorded classes are watched as part of their curriculum.

Note: Most classes are only half an hour long. Generally, this is the only "homework" requirement that you will have during the week. And good news... our students enjoy them!

At the beginning of the course, students are asked to choose between the Monday 1:00 PM EST classes or the 8:00 PM EST classes. Once students choose a time slot, that becomes their time for classes on Mondays. If there is a week where your designated time slot does not work for you, students are asked to be in touch with the school to arrange the other time slot for that week. Students can not attend both Monday Zoom classes.

Basic Coach Training Track:

In order to graduate, one is required to attend every live Zoom class. We want you to have the most incredible journey of growth and learning. The only way to maximize your experience and to become fully trained is by attending every class. 

Advanced Coach Training with Certification Track:

Attendance in every class is mandatory. The ICF requires that we track the attendance of the students and that their required training/learning hours, both synchronous and asynchronous, are accounted for. 

Synchronous learning is learning that is done in real-time together with the instructors.

Asynchronous learning is learning that is not done in real-time with the instructors such as homework, reading, research, and practice coaching. 

Certification involves certain amounts of both types of learning.

In an emergency situation and/or a case of illness, if you do have to miss a class, our students are required to let us know via email @ theredemptionschool@gmail.com. The recording of the Zoom class that was missed may be watched at a later time and you must let the staff know that you completed watching it.

This is for emergency situations only. Being that there are very specific guidelines from the ICF in terms of the required training/learning hours and what is needed to graduate, there is a limit to the amount of leeway we have. 

In cases of long-term illnesses that come up during the course, please contact us via email @ theredemptionschool@gmail.com to request a transfer to a different round of Coaching School.

Each semester has at least 10 pre-recorded video classes and at least 10 live online Zoom classes. The pre-recorded classes teach the core information and tools about a subject.

The live online class goes deeper into explaining and exploring that subject.

The live online class will be a lively interactive class including live coaching demonstrations, coaching observation and feedback, different exercises, answering any questions, understanding the tools and teachings and lots of self-discovery.
