Coaching Tools · a growing suite

World-class coaching, for everyone.

Great coaching development has always been scarce and expensive — locked behind the time of a few senior mentors. Our AI tools change the maths: mark a session, practise on a lifelike client, sit a full ICF exam — the same rigour and standards, in minutes instead of hours. This is how we make coaching affordable for all.

The toolkit

An intelligent layer around every coach.

One mission — make expert coaching development affordable, fast and private — and a growing set of tools to get there. Here's what's live today.

The Practice Exam · live & free

Test your readiness with a real ICF practice exam.

Before a coach sits the ICF credentialing exam, they can sit ours. A timed, 60-question exam built to the ICF blueprint — coaching ethics, definitions and boundaries, and the core competencies — at ACC or PCC level. Every question is drawn from a large vetted bank grounded in the 2025 ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics, so repeat attempts stay fresh. At the end, a full answer key explains the reasoning behind every question.

Live · runs entirely in the browser

60 questions. The real conditions.

Timed like the exam — 90 minutes for ACC, 180 for PCC — but you can submit early. Get an instant score with a category breakdown, review every answer, and download the full results and answer key to keep. No sign-in, no waiting.

The Practice Session · live

Practise on a real-feeling client — then get ICF feedback.

Marking tells a coach how a session went. The Practice Session lets them get the reps in first. A coach sits down with an AI client who behaves like the real thing — guarded, human, revealing things only when the coaching earns it — by voice or by text. At the end, they get honest, developmental feedback against the ICF competencies, at ACC or PCC level.

Live · voice or text

Deliberate practice, any time

A fresh, random client every time — no two the same. Coaches can email the feedback to themselves or download a copy to keep. Perfect for between sessions, before an assessment, or for a whole cohort building their hours.

The Marking Studio · private preview

ICF session marking, in minutes — at every level.

Upload a coaching session transcript, say which speaker is the coach, and get back a fully-referenced evaluation against the ICF standards — with timestamped evidence, marker-by-marker assessment, and a clear result. What used to take a mentor-coach hours now takes minutes, and stays private.

ACCLive

Marked against the ICF ACC Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) and the official scoring algorithm — competency scores and a clear pass mark.

PCCLive

Marked against the 2025 ICF Core Competencies and the PCC Marker Guide — every PCC marker assessed, with a PASS / DEVELOPING / FAIL verdict.

MCCAhead

The same rigorous evaluation extended to the master credential level, so a coach's development never outgrows the tool.

◆ The Marking Studio

One studio, the whole credential ladder

Built for coaches training toward credentials, mentor-coaches, and coaching schools — a tireless, consistent assessor that marks to the official ICF standard every single time, at ACC and PCC today.

  • Marks against the official ICF standards for each credential level
  • Every judgement cited to an exact timestamp and the coach's own words
  • A branded Word report with marker-by-marker detail and a clear result
  • Runs on a private model — transcripts never leave a machine you control
In private preview — the Marking Studio runs on a private model, and we're bringing it online for clients to sign in from anywhere. Request access and we'll bring you in.

Why it matters

Removing the three things that keep coaching scarce.

Cost

Affordable

Expert-level marking without an expert's hourly rate — so schools and coaches can practise far more, for far less.

Time

Instant

Feedback in minutes, not the days of waiting for a mentor's diary to open up. Practise, learn, repeat — fast.

Consistency

Standard

The same rigorous ICF criteria applied identically every time, with the evidence to back every score.

Backed by a timestamp and the coach's exact words
Private
Runs on a model you control — no transcript sent to any third-party AI

Private by design

Coaching conversations are confidential, so the tools that touch real client words run on private models. Session marking and the AI Coach run on a self-hosted, open model — transcripts are read, marked and returned without ever being sent to any third-party AI service. The Practice Session and Practice Exam use no real client data: the client is a simulation, and the exam runs entirely in your browser.

Still to come

And we're only getting started.

Four tools are live or in preview today. Here's what's next on the bench.

Coming soon

MCC marking

The Marking Studio extended to the master credential level, so a coach's development never outgrows the tool.

Coming soon

Progress Tracker

See how a coach develops across sessions — trends by competency, strengths to lean on, and the next thing to work on.

Coming soon

Cohort dashboards

For coaching schools — see every coach's progress across sessions and credential levels in one place, and spot who needs support.

If quality coaching development costs less and takes minutes, far more people get to become great coaches — and far more people get coached.

That's the whole point. We're not replacing the human craft of coaching; we're removing the bottlenecks that keep it rare, so it can reach the many, not the few.

Help us make coaching reachable for all.

We're opening the marking studio to a small group of coaches and schools in private preview. Tell us about you and we'll get you in.
