Gestalt Advanced Practitioner Diploma Programme - Next Intake January 2026
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 ten-month period.
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.
