Certified Performance Leadership Coach (CPLC)
The Certified Performance Leadership Coach (CPLC) certification program is targeted at leaders, HR practitioners and professionals seeking to be an ICF credentialed coach. The program aims to equip learners with the coaching competencies to coach at the individual and team level. So as to enhance performance and achieve organisational goals.
The CPLC certification is accredited by International Coaching Federation (ICF) under the ACC Level 1 pathway, for those pursuing the ICF ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential. An ICF Credential is a professional certification indicating that you have met specific standards and requirements designed to develop and refine your coaching skills. Please see details on ICF Credentialing changes with effect from 1 January 2023.
Becoming an ICF (International Coaching Federation) Credentialed Coach
The first step to becoming a professional coach is to decide which regulatory body to be associated with. For example, ICF is the largest global organisation dedicated to professional coaching. More importantly, ICF is regarded as the main accrediting and credentialing body for both training programs and coaches.
BP Coach Training is an ICF accredited training provider delivering coach certification program in Asia Pacific. To verify if a training provider is accredited by ICF, please visit the ICF Global Education Search Service (ESS). Our organisation is also a SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) Registered Training Provider (RTP) delivering WSQ (Workforce Skills Qualification) program under the Skills Framework.
ICF Credential Requirements

Certified Performance Leadership Coach (CPLC) Modules
Learning Methodology
This program is structured to provide learners the flexibility to complete the modules at their own pace. However, learners must complete all the 4 modules in sequence (3 coach-specific training modules and mentor coaching session cum peformance evaluation) to earn the “Certified Performance Leadership Coach” certificate.
As part of scaffolding learning strategy, the learner would firstly have to complete Module 1 first. Essentially, this covers the foundation of coaching which include the basic core coaching skills and process.
Secondly, upon learning the foundational skills, he can proceed to Module 2, which will focus on transformational coaching. As a result, this will allow the learner to hone the necessary skills to “Coach the Person”. This means helping the coachee become aware of the obstacles that is preventing him to decide and change. In short, the learner will acquire the skills to coach one-on-one in Module 1 & 2.
In Module 3, the learner will acquire the skills to coach one-to-many. This is important especially for a leader or team coach to improve team performance and achieve the organisational results. Finally, in Module 4, learners will consolidate and demonstrate all the competencies learned in the earlier 3 modules, and gather feedback from peer learners and mentor coach.
Program Objectives

“The CPLC (Certified Performance Leadership Coach) program has brought my focus of coaching to a higher transformational level. The program is well structured and both facilitators are very knowledgeable in delivering and coaching the participants. We were given many opportunities to practise and receive feedback from fellow learners. The experiences gained together with the additional advice from the mentor coaches were very valuable.” Juliana T., AP Head, Human Resources, Semiconductor Industry
“Laurence and Eng Neo have this incredible way of engaging the class, typically made up of a diverse mix of senior executives/professionals and characters. They set a comfortable learning pace and simplified the delivery for potentially hard and dull subjects, often with illustrations of real cases. The training mixed with open-floor discussion stood out as a strong format – creating a neutral environment where more learnings amongst professionals were exchanged. More often than not, we find introverts started to share as well. The regular sub-group discussions/activities also enabled bonding to be forged despite the short term nature of the course. I have recommended BP Coach Training to my peers. I am confident this dynamic duo will continue to deliver compelling sessions.” Shoo Shyuan S., Director/ Founder, APAC Media
“The Certified Performance Leadership Coach (CPLC) course was very structured, the contents were good and the format of delivery was excellent. We had sufficient time to practice coaching with each other and obtained valuable feedback from both Laurence and Eng Neo as well as the class participants. I feel better equipped to be an excellent coach after this course. I am now a Certified Performance Leadership Coach. All Thanks to Laurence and Eng Neo for their guidance. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who aspires to be a Certified Performance Leadership coach and pursue the ICF ACC. Laurence and Eng Neo are excellent mentors who are very committed and genuine in helping aspiring coaches to achieve their goals.” Y. Cheng Lian, Coach, Mentor, and Training Consultant
“I attended a series of workshops under the Certified Performance Leadership Coach program by BP Coach Pte Ltd as part of fulfilling the requirements to become an ICF certified coach. I found the workshop format of teaching the concepts/principles along with the practice sessions to be very helpful in reinforcing my learning. I particularly find the T-GROW model and the incorporation of emotional intelligence to be very powerful. Both the instructors, Laurence and Eng Neo, were engaging, very experienced, clear communicators and gave very valuable feedbacks for my improvement. The biggest beneficiaries of my learning experience to be a coach are the people I coached as part of my 100 hours practice. Some have found their coaching session with me to be very helpful. This is only possible through my learning gained from these workshops and the guidance from Laurence and Eng Neo.” Jackson L., Learning Consultant
