Built on ICF Level 1 Accreditation (102 hours)—your trusted path to ACC

Credibility matters. The World Happiness Academy is formally recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as a Level 1 Accredited Coaching Education Provider, approved for 102 hours—a complete, standards‑aligned route to the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential.

What does Level 1 mean for you? At this level, programs align to ICF’s global standards and include the education, mentor coaching, and performance evaluation required for ACC—streamlining your credentialing journey.

A partnership with a global mission

The World Happiness Academy is the learning and transformation center of the World Happiness Foundation. Together, they bring a rare combination: a globally connected platform for well‑being and a coach‑education provider operating to ICF’s highest standards. This partnership gives you both the formal rigor of accredited training and the real‑world reach of a worldwide well‑being movement—an alliance that makes this program stand out on the global stage.

Develop a coaching mindset—then use it to elevate well‑being

ICF’s Core Competencies place “Embodying a Coaching Mindset” at the heart of professional practice: an open, curious, flexible, client‑centered way of being. This program helps you cultivate that mindset in service of happiness, health, and human sustainability.

You’ll learn and apply the ROUSER Coaching Model (Relations, Openness, Understanding, Self‑Awareness, Empowerment, Reflection)—a practical framework designed to form conscious catalysts of well‑being who can support deep, sustainable change with individuals and teams. The curriculum integrates positive and behavioral psychology, mindfulness, and NLP, always aligned with ICF Core Competencies.

What you’ll practice and master

  • ICF‑aligned coaching skills built through observation‑based feedback, mentor coaching, and a program‑embedded performance evaluation—so your ACC application stays straightforward.
  • Evidence‑based tools for happiness and well‑being (positive psychology, behavioral psychology, mindfulness), plus practical NLP techniques to foster resilience and proactive growth.
  • The ROUSER model in action, so you can coach clients to strengthen relationships, expand openness, deepen understanding and self‑awareness, and translate insights into empowered, values‑aligned action.

 

How the program works (designed for busy professionals)

  • Duration & structure: 102 total accredited hours across 15 weeks. Expect about 6 hours per week: live sessions, peer or group practice, and guided self‑study/mentoring.
  • Live, interactive learning: Weekly live sessions with experienced faculty, supported by small‑group practice and peer coaching to build confidence quickly.
  • Flexible entry + global cohort: With live sessions every week and a global community, you can join from anywhere and learn alongside a diverse network of well‑being professionals.

 

Who thrives here

This pathway is ideal for leaders, HR and talent professionals, well‑being practitioners, health professionals, educators, and aspiring coaches who want to integrate a coaching approach into their work and guide others toward sustainable happiness and performance.

Why this program is the best choice for impact‑driven professionals

  1. ICF Level 1, 102 hours: A complete, standards‑aligned foundation that simplifies your ACC application and signals professional credibility worldwide.
  2. Specialization in Happiness & Well‑Being: Go beyond generic coaching and build mastery in the science and practice of flourishing.
  3. The ROUSER advantage: A clear, integrative model that translates into real‑world coaching impact—personal, organizational, and societal.
  4. Mentor‑supported skill building: Receive observation‑based feedback and performance evaluation baked into the program—no guesswork about ACC readiness.
  5. A mission‑driven alliance: Delivered by the World Happiness Academy in partnership with the World Happiness Foundation, giving you both accreditation‑level rigor and a global platform dedicated to well‑being.

 

Outcomes you can count on

  • A coaching mindset rooted in ICF standards and practices.
  • Practical, ethical coaching skills to help clients cultivate happiness, resilience, and meaningful growth.
  • A clear line of sight to ACC, with the education, mentoring, and performance evaluation Level 1 programs are designed to include.
