Coaching Akademie Berlin

What Coaching Akademie Berlin does

Coaching Akademie Berlin (CAB) is a private Berlin-based academy founded in 2010 that delivers certified systemic coaching and trainer education programs to individuals across the German-speaking DACH region. The academy operates from five physical locations (Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Vienna, and Zurich) and a live-stream online channel, offering a curriculum portfolio built around three core certification tracks (Personal Coach, Business Coach, and combined Personal & Business Coach) plus specialized modules in team development, the proprietary SYNAMIK™ systemic constellation method, the wingwave® short-term coaching methodology, and a graduate mentoring program.

The academy's intellectual property backbone is SYNAMIK™, an autopoetic, multidimensional form of systemic constellation developed by founder Marcel Hübenthal, complemented by The Cycle team development framework and licensed delivery of the wingwave® method. Programs are 65-75% practice-oriented and culminate in dual ECA (European Coaching Association) and QSA (Bundesverband für Qualität in der Systemischen Arbeit) certification, with wingwave® additionally holding TÜV NORD and ICF CCE credentials. Cohort sizes are intentionally small (9-15 in-person, up to 16 online) to preserve the practice-heavy pedagogy.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-based professional education with one-time fees per program ranging from approximately €5,800 (Personal Coach Online) to €10,320 (Personal & Business Coach in-person in Austria). The GTM motion is sales-led, relying on personal consultations, info evenings, free trial coaching sessions, content marketing, and application-based enrollment rather than self-serve e-commerce. The academy reports over 2,500 graduates since founding and operates with a 1-10 employee base, multiple regional Ausbildungsleiter heads, and a network of venue partners rather than owned facilities outside of Berlin.
