Aligned Action International
Coach Education Program
Choosing the AAI journey is a commitment to developing coaching mastery —
not as a technique, but as a way of thinking, connecting, and partnering with people.
The program supports professionals who want to coach with clarity, range, and ethical maturity, whether coaching is a core profession or an essential capability within leadership and organizational roles.
ICF-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 coach education
At Aligned Action International (AAI), we develop coaches who bring confidence, professional judgement and ethical awareness to their practice, guided by the standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
AAI offers two integrated pathways, each combining coach-specific education with mentor coaching:
-
Level 1 - 75 hours: 65 hours of coach-specific education through Part 1, plus 10 hours of mentor coaching.
-
Level 2 - 145 hours: 135 hours of coach-specific education through Part 1 and Part 2, plus 10 hours of mentor coaching.
Level 1 builds foundational coaching capability in relation to ACC-level requirements.
Level 2 deepens coaching capability in relation to PCC-level requirements.
Across both pathways, teaching is integrated with practice, observed coaching, reflection and developmental feedback. Participants have time to apply their learning, integrate feedback and develop their own coaching style.
Ongoing formative evaluation helps participants recognise their progress and demonstrate development across multiple coaching experiences.
The relevant Level 1 or Level 2 Diploma is awarded upon successful completion of the pathway’s requirements.
Founder and Partners
The Aligned Action International education is grounded in the work of Jan Elfline (MCC) -
one of the pioneering Master Certified Coaches. Jan’s long-standing practice as a coach, author, and educator within leading international coaching institutions in USA, UK, Denmark and China shaped the foundations of the program.
Building on this work, Jan expanded the partnership to include Juan Francisco Ramírez Martínez (MCC) and Veselka Tsocheva-Donkova (MCC).
The three partners lead a growing international team of MCC and PCC trainers and mentors (MCS), supporting depth, rigor, and consistency across all program deliveries.
Today, the AAI program is delivered across two continents, supporting coaches and leaders in diverse professional and cultural contexts.
