Teleclasses - What are they and how do they work?

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Teleclasses are like phone tutorials. They are live, interactive training classes conducted over the telephone through state-of-the-art conference call technology.

Teleclass Features

1. Flexibility - Teleclasses are an excellent way to learn coaching. They allow students to train from anywhere, even if they have a full time job.

2. Interactivity - Teleclasses are very interactive, similar to a graduate discussion: part lecture, part question, part discussion. In more advanced classes, students will coach another, then the trainer will provide feedback.

3. Intense Learning - Teleclasses are concentrated learning environments. They teach you to communicate and learn over the telephone, which is a critical skill for coaches (most coaching is done over the telephone and most coaches have clients from all over the world)

ICA Teleclasses

1. Extensive Choice - We now offer around 80 classes a week for students to choose from. That’s about 345 a month, 3810 a year. Additional classes are be added regularly. Our teleclasses run in a loop and are constantly repeated so there is no problem if you miss one.

2. Small Class Size - At ICA our classes have between 12 and 20 students at any given time. As soon as the number starts to creep over 20 we simply add another class at that time. Ths means our company grows organically with our student and we are able to keep class sizes down.

3. Truly International - Due to our growing student body we are able to offer multiple time zones for each class, so no matter where you live in the world you can access a class at a time that suits you. The class times run from 6 am USA EST through to 10pm, including weekends, allowing students to train from any country in the world.

4. Culturally Diverse - the flexibility and choice of telelcass delivery means that instead of being in a classroom with just people from your local area, you train with students from all over the world. This means you are exposed to multiple perspectives and develop strong international networks.

5. Tailored - with so many teleclasses on offer you are able to totally tailor your program. This means that the speed with which you work your way through the program is completely up to you. The quickest time students take to complete the CPCP is 6 months. This would be doing 6 teleclasses a week. If you do 3 a week, it will take 1 year. You can take up to 2 years if you want:

6. Life long learning - Our course fees include lifetime membership: this means you can take the classes as many times as you want, for the rest of your life.
