Programme Overview
No two coaches develop in exactly the same way, and their training should reflect that.
The JLWC Academy Bespoke Coaching Certification programme offers a high-touch, flexible and personalised pathway for individuals pursuing professional coach training or working toward coaching certification in Singapore.
Designed around each participant’s schedule, learning style, and professional goals, the programme provides a personalised approach to developing coaching competence.
Through individually guided sessions and structured coaching practice, participants build the skills required for professional coaching and may work toward recognised credentials such as the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), depending on their experience, goals, and timeline.
Participants also receive guidance on securing pro-bono and paid coaching opportunities where possible, as well as structured support in tracking coaching hours, maintaining a logbook, and preparing their coaching portfolio for ICF credentialing.
Whether you are beginning to explore life coaching in Singapore or advancing an established professional practice, the programme adapts to your stage of development.
This is coach training designed to fit alongside your professional life while meeting internationally recognised coaching standards.

100 Hours of Coaching Practice: Client Matching Support

At JLWC Academy, participants receive support in securing real coaching clients so they can accumulate the required practice hours in a structured and supportive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: I am a busy executive. Can I realistically fit this programme into my schedule? Yes. The bespoke format is designed specifically for professionals with demanding schedules. Unlike cohort-based coaching courses with fixed intakes, this programme has no fixed timetable. Sessions are arranged around your calendar, allowing you to continue your training even if you travel frequently, work across time zones, or have an unpredictable schedule. Q2: How long does the programme take to complete? Because the programme is personalised, the duration depends on your availability and pace. Most participants complete Phase 1 and Phase 2 within 6 to 12 months. During your Discovery Call, your coach trainer will map out a realistic timeline based on your schedule and your intended ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) application timeline. Q3: Is this programme eligible for SkillsFuture Credit? The JLWC Academy Bespoke Coaching Certification programme is a personalised, privately arranged training pathway and is not eligible for SkillsFuture Credit. If you are looking for a government-supported programme that is SkillsFuture Credit eligible, you may wish to explore our WSQ Coaching Course, which offers a structured, nationally recognised coaching qualification in Singapore. Q4: Do I need prior coaching experience to join? No prior coaching experience is required. The programme is designed to support participants at different stages of their coaching journey, whether you are new to coaching or an experienced professional seeking formal training and ICF coaching certification. If you have previously completed coach training elsewhere, we can assess whether any prior learning may be credited toward your programme hours. Q5: Who will be training me? The programme is led by Dr Jade Kua, founder and Principal Coach of JLWC, who holds the ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential. The MCC designation is held by fewer than 3% of coaches globally and represents the highest level of certification awarded by the International Coaching Federation.
