What CoachAkademieSchweiz does

CoachAkademieSchweiz (legal entity: Coach Akademie Schweiz GmbH) is a privately held Swiss coaching education institution founded in 1997 and headquartered in Rebstein, St. Gallen. The company trains professional coaches and consultants using its proprietary, scientifically validated methodology — the St.Galler Coaching Modell® (SCM)®, a registered trademark described as a values-based systemic coaching procedure whose effectiveness has been validated three times in academic studies. The product portfolio is structured as a multi-tier certification stack: foundational Basic-Lehrgänge conferring an internationally recognized diploma; Specialist (Fach-) tracks in areas such as Business Coaching and Children & Youth Coaching; Master-Lehrgänge for advanced short-format coaching; and supporting offerings including Practice Workshops, Short Webinars, Startup Workshops for independent SCM® coaches, and a federal-certificate Mentor program. Programs are delivered at more than 20 physical locations across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and South Tyrol in modular or block formats, complemented by free introductory courses and a website course configurator. A Coach-Pool directory of certified graduates serves as a marketplace channeling client leads back to alumni.

The company operates primarily on a one-time fee model for its certification and diploma programs, supplemented by professional-services revenue from customized in-house corporate training (SBTSM — Value-Oriented Systemic Business Transformation) and freemium free introductory courses that function as lead generation. Customer segments span aspiring professional coaches (primary), specialized and master-level practitioners (secondary), and corporate clients seeking internal coaching capability. The academy holds ISO 17024 certification (via TÜV Austria), ICI membership, and SBFI recognition from the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation, and reports 10,000+ trained SCM® coaches, a 4.74/5 rating across 2,234 ProvenExpert reviews, an 86% goal-achievement rate in SCM®-based coachings, and 95% graduate satisfaction. The firm is privately held with no external funding, parent company, or disclosed M&A activity, and operates with a 16-person headcount from a single Swiss headquarters.
