Gestalt Advanced Practitioner Diploma Programme
ICF Level 2
Becoming a Qualified Gestalt Coach
This is the opportunity to make a commitment to deepening your learning and develop advanced coaching skills to work at a more profound level and have a greater impact in a shorter time with your clients. You will also discover that this is an effortless way of coaching that creates flow and joy in you.
On completion of the Foundation Programme (or equivalent Gestalt training programme) you can join the Gestalt Advance Practitioner Diploma. This is a combination (detailed below) of theory webinars, virtual experiential workshops and virtual supervision groups over a self-managed period. You take the workshops and supervision groups at your own pace to suit your learning needs and personal circumstances. This means you will have regular contact with some of the same students and also meet new people as they attend the workshops and supervision groups at their rhythm.
There is support and supervision/mentor coaching from John throughout the programme and individual tutorials to help you prepare, when you’re ready, for the final practitioner assessment. This is a consolidation of your learning both in a theoretical essay that outlines your signature approach to Gestalt coaching and through a case study that demonstrates your Gestalt coaching capability.
For those who want to progress to an ICF Level 2 qualification there is additional individual Mentor Coaching and ICF Performance Evaluation process.
Those who are already PCC and wish to proceed to MCC via the portfolio route can use the Diploma programme as the Coach Education.

Frequently asked questions
Q. I can’t see a start date for the Diploma programme - how & when can I start and how long is it?
You can start at any point. As it is an individual training programme composed of different elements you can take them at a time that suits and within 2 years
Q, Will there be the same participants on each workshop?
No, the participants will vary in each workshop but you will find that a number have a similar pathway to you so will build up a regular connection and shared learning opportunity.
Q Do I have to go through the PCC process to get the Diploma?
No, the PCC process is separate and only for those that want the PCC level qualification - that is why it has an additional cost. Those who already have PCC or accreditation through another professional body can complete the Diploma.
Q. Is there a specific order to any of the modules?
No, they stand alone but are connected.
Q. If one of the workshop dates didn't suit, would that impact other elements?
No, you can take that workshop at a later date.
Q. Does the ‘Package’ price of Workshops or Qualification have to be paid all at once?
You can pay all at once or by payment plan which spreads the cost over three periods.
Q. If I book a Package, what is the commitment required?
If you book three or more workshops or sign up for a Diploma qualification there is a discounted ‘package’ rate which means that you commit to that programme of events and dates chosen. To reschedule a booked date or cancel the booking, see cancellation policy
