Accreditation & Standards


Mission

Adhigam Avenue exists to develop competent, ethical, and impact-driven coaches through structured coach education grounded in evidence-informed practice, reflective learning, and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) competencies. We provide a rigorous learning environment that blends instruction, practice, feedback, and assessment so learners can coach with clarity, confidence, and integrity.


Vision

To contribute to a global community of coaches who elevate human potential and organizational effectiveness through professional, ethical, and measurable coaching practice.


Learning Philosophy

We believe adults learn best when education is practical, reflective, and competency-based. Our programs are designed to help learners move from understanding concepts to demonstrating coaching competence in real interactions.

How this philosophy shapes our learning structure

  • Competency-based progression: Learning outcomes are aligned to coaching competencies and are revisited across the program through increasing complexity.
  • Experiential practice: Learners coach frequently using structured practice activities, role-plays, and real-play scenarios to build skill, not just knowledge.
  • Feedback-rich learning: Faculty, mentors, and peers provide structured feedback to accelerate growth and reinforce professional standards.
  • Reflective integration: Learners use reflection prompts and learning journals to connect concepts to personal coaching presence and ethical decision-making.
  • Assessment for learning: Checkpoints and performance-based evaluations are used to confirm readiness and support continuous improvement.
  • Inclusive learning environment: We design learning to be accessible and culturally responsive, supporting diverse learners and coaching contexts.
  • Continuous improvement: We review learner feedback and program outcomes to improve curriculum, instruction, and learner support over time.

Our Commitment to Ethical and Professional Standards

Adhigam Avenue is committed to operating with transparency, integrity, and accountability as a coach education provider. We affirm our intention to uphold the ICF Coaching Education Accreditation Code of Conduct and the associated accreditation standards applicable to ICF-accredited coach education providers.


How we operationalize this commitment

  • We require all educators, assessors, and mentors involved in our coach education programs to align with the applicable code(s) of conduct and ethical standards governing the delivery of coaching education.
  • We maintain program policies and procedures that support ethical education delivery, quality assurance, and learner protection, consistent with ICF’s expectations for accredited providers.
