No exclusivity
Keep your clients and your own work. One rule: don't appear in a competing bid for the same tender, or your CV would count twice.
For coaches
Iakuban Coaching Academy is preparing to bid for coaching work with town halls, universities and public companies in Spain, for subcontracts from larger training providers and for programmes with international organisations. We find the tenders, write the bids and deal with the client. You coach.
Your LinkedIn profile or CV and your credential are enough. No intro call needed.

How it works
Your LinkedIn profile or CV, your credential and the kind of work you do. We check the credential in the relevant public directory.
We go through public tenders and requests for quotes from organisations, and note which profiles they ask for.
When a tender fits your profile, we write to you about that specific project. We agree your per-session rate and your consent to include your CV in that bid, in writing.
We handle the company paperwork, the technical proposal, the price and the contracting authority's questions.
You work with the client as agreed and invoice Iakuban Coaching Academy S.L. as a freelancer or through your company.
We haven't won a public contract yet. We can't promise volume, and the first year will be slow. What we can do is put your name and credential into bids that a single coach rarely goes for, because each tender asks for a team and a pile of company paperwork.
Terms
Keep your clients and your own work. One rule: don't appear in a competing bid for the same tender, or your CV would count twice.
We never include your name, CV or credential in a bid without your written consent for that specific tender.
For each project we propose a per-session rate and agree it with you in writing before submitting, because the price we quote to the client is binding.
You invoice as a freelancer or through your company. Payment terms for each project are set out in writing before work starts.
Working on one project with us doesn't commit you to anything outside that project.
We don't run general intro calls. When a bid fits your profile, we write with the details and talk then.
Profile
If you are currently a student on one of our coach training programmes, we can work with you once you have finished.
Freelancer registration or company details, and tax and social security clearance certificates, are only needed if the contract is awarded.

It depends on each project: the tender budget, the format and the location. That's why we don't publish rates. You can tell us your usual rate in the form if you like, and we'll propose a specific rate before each bid.
No. Send the form, and when a tender fits your profile we'll write to you about that project.
Many tenders ask for coaches with an ICF, EMCC or AECOP credential. If you don't have one yet, you can still apply and say so.
We use it only to review your application and contact you about specific projects. We never include it in a bid without your consent for that tender. You can ask us to delete it at any time by writing to info@iakuban.com.
