Question 1

What is the ITC Coach Certification Program?

Accepted Answer

The ITC Coach Certification Program is a 12-month specialist certification in the Immunity to Change™ methodology. It is for experienced coaches and facilitators who want mastery-level training in the ITC approach, not a general coaching certification program for beginners.

Question 2

What are the prerequisites?

Accepted Answer

Completion of either the ITC Facilitator's Workshop (for group/workshop contexts) or ITC for 1:1 Coaching: Maps and Tests (for individual coaching). Both are Minds at Work programs available before the CCP.

Question 3

Is this program ICF-accredited?

Accepted Answer

The ITC certification is a proprietary credential issued by Minds at Work. Completing it earns 51.5 ICF credit hours, which are applicable toward ICF credential maintenance or credentialing applications.

Question 4

What is the Immunity to Change™ method?

Accepted Answer

Immunity to Change™ (ITC) is a diagnostic and coaching method developed by Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey at Harvard. It surfaces the hidden competing commitments and big assumptions that prevent people from making changes they genuinely want to make, using a four-column Immunity Map. Once those hidden commitments are visible, coaches help clients design practical assumption-testing experiments to produce real change.

Question 5

What is the four-column Immunity Map?

Accepted Answer

The four-column Immunity Map is the core diagnostic tool: Column 1 is the improvement goal; Column 2 is the behaviors that work against it; Column 3 is the hidden competing commitments and worries; Column 4 is the big assumptions that make the immune system feel necessary. The Map makes the psychological immune system visible so it can be examined and tested.

Question 6

What do I receive upon completing the program?

Accepted Answer

Graduates receive: the ITC Coach Certification from Minds at Work (the sole official ITC practitioner credential), 51.5 ICF credit hours, the ITC Coaches Guide and reference materials, listing on Minds at Work's certified coach directory, and access to the ongoing alumni community.

Question 7

How much does the program cost?

Accepted Answer

Contact Minds at Work directly at mindsatwork.com for current cohort pricing and intake schedules. Pricing is not listed publicly.

Question 8

What is the format and duration?

Accepted Answer

The CCP runs for 12 months, delivered online. It combines full-group sessions with senior faculty, smaller practice groups, and individual mentor coaching. Cohorts are kept small to maintain the depth of supervision and feedback.

Question 9

What makes this program distinctive?

Accepted Answer

This is the only program in the world that certifies practitioners in the ITC methodology. Minds at Work is the sole official training body. The certification is grounded in four decades of adult developmental research from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Question 10

What kinds of coaching work is ITC best suited for?

Accepted Answer

The ITC method is particularly powerful in executive and leadership coaching, organizational change contexts, developmental coaching, and any work where a client has a recurring gap between their intentions and their actions.
