Prometeo Coaching and Vira Human Training confirm an official partnership that connects Italian Coaching standards with international ICF education. Since 1997, Prometeo Coaching has trained Coaches in Italy, while Vira Human Training delivers ICF-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 programs across its international network.
Choosing a Coaching School today means more than picking a course. The real test is whether a pathway offers genuine practice, ethical grounding, professional clarity, and recognition beyond national borders. This partnership meets exactly that need.
The article below explains what each organization contributes to the partnership. It also covers why this matters for anyone evaluating a serious Coach Training pathway. For a complete view of Vira’s own programs, see the International Coaching School. Prometeo Coaching also confirms the partnership on a dedicated page.
Why the Prometeo Coaching and Vira Human Training Partnership Matters
The Coaching market has changed. People no longer search only for a course or a certificate. Instead, they look for a pathway that treats Coaching as a profession. That pathway must include clear boundaries, real practice, ethical grounding, and responsibility toward the Client.
On one side, a pathway must respect the Italian regulatory framework. This includes Law 4/2013 and professional associations such as A.Co.I. It also includes the UNI 11601:2024 Technical Standard, which defines Coaching services in Italy.
Conversely, a pathway must also hold up internationally. Clients and organizations increasingly expect Coaches to demonstrate competencies that travel across borders.
Prometeo Coaching and Vira Human Training built their partnership exactly in this space. As a result, the collaboration connects Italian professional tradition with ICF-accredited international Coach education inside a single, verifiable pathway.
What Each Organization Brings to the Partnership
Prometeo Coaching’s Contribution
Prometeo Coaching is a Coaching School founded in 1997 by Angelo Bonacci, who still serves as its Educational Director. A.Co.I. recognizes the School under Italian Law 4/2013, and it is registered with the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy. The School also holds Conformity Certificate No. 53733 under the UNI 11601:2024 Technical Standard, issued by CSQA Certificazioni.
Since 1997, the School has trained more than 3,500 Coaches and professionals through 210 editions of its core program. Prometeo Coaching currently delivers more than 1,800 hours of training every year. This activity spans 10 annual editions of the Coaching School, plus 8 advanced specialization pathways for Coaches who already hold a professional qualification.
Together, this Italian foundation gives participants a professional identity recognizable inside Italy’s own legal and technical framework. It goes beyond a generic Coaching market.
Vira Human Training’s Contribution
Vira Human Training is an International Coach Training Provider headquartered in Dubai Science Park. It also operates offices across the United Kingdom, Singapore, Italy, and Chicago, USA. The School designs and delivers ICF Level 1 and ICF Level 2 Coach Training programs. These two pathways connect directly to the ACC and PCC credential levels.
Michael Gabaldi, Founder and Director of Education at Vira Human Training, leads this international model. Through Vira Human Training, the partnership extends Prometeo Coaching’s Italian foundation into a framework recognized across multiple markets.
Italian Rigor, International Passport
Prometeo Coaching anchors the partnership in Italian rigor. Vira Human Training adds the international passport. Neither organization changes what the other already does well. Instead, the partnership documents how the two frameworks connect for anyone who wants both.
It is worth being precise about which organization holds which recognition. Prometeo Coaching is recognized under Law 4/2013, UNI 11601:2024, and A.Co.I., directly and independently of the partnership. Vira Human Training holds the ICF-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 programs and operates under KHDA approval. The partnership is what connects the two, rather than merging them into a single set of credentials.
What This Partnership Means for Anyone Choosing a Coaching School
For someone evaluating a Coaching School, this partnership has practical consequences rather than only symbolic ones. A School built only around international credentials can lose touch with the Italian framework that Clients expect locally. Likewise, a School built only around the Italian framework can lack a credible route toward ICF credentials and global recognition. The Prometeo Coaching and Vira Human Training partnership works across both levels at once.
Distinctive Value Compared to Other Coaching Schools
Within the Italian market, this partnership creates a distinctive and documented combination. Prometeo Coaching brings its own national recognition under Law 4/2013, UNI 11601:2024, and A.Co.I., while the official partnership connects this Italian framework directly to Vira Human Training’s ICF-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 programs.
The value is not that the two organizations merge their credentials. The value is that each recognition remains clear, verifiable, and correctly positioned inside a broader professional pathway.
What Happens After the Initial Training
Completing Prometeo Coaching’s program is not the end of the pathway. Participants who want to continue toward ICF credentials can access Vira Human Training’s ICF-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 Coach education, depending on their previous training, experience, and credentialing goals.
This is an important distinction. The Portfolio Path remains an ICF pathway in specific cases, especially when a candidate presents training that was not completed entirely within an ICF-accredited program or combines different documented learning experiences. However, the core value of this partnership is the direct connection between Prometeo Coaching’s Italian professional framework and Vira Human Training’s ICF-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 programs.
From there, many Coaches also continue with Vira Human Training, accessing ICF Level 2 education, advanced specializations, mentoring, and supervision designed for Coaches who already hold a professional qualification.
The partnership does not ask participants to choose between Italian recognition and international standards. Instead, it connects both inside a single framework. In practice, this combination supports anyone who wants a Coaching pathway that is professionally clear in Italy and internationally aligned with ICF standards.
