IAC Certification

Are you seriously considering to becoming an international certified coach? Yes and No.

If you are planning to work with Global Coaching and/or Human Capital Management Consultation Firms, or 500 Top Fortune companies you will likely be asked, “Are you a certified coach?”

…………………………………………………………

"The IAC and the ICF are two independent certifying organizations, meaning they do not have a vested interested in coach training programs. Their evaluations are based on their individual standards, and each organization has their unique way of administering their certifying process.

  1. IAC Certification (designation IAC-CC) offered by the International Association of Coaching.

The IAC does not require that you attend a specific training institute, or log a certain number of coaching hours. The certification is based on an understanding and demonstration of coaching mastery, through a written, online exam, and recorded coaching sessions which are evaluated by a trained team of certifying examiners.  More information on the certification process may be found here: www.certifiedcoach.org/certify/certification.html.

The IAC recognizes that many professionals from various industries transition into coaching, or use a coaching approach a variety of ways in their business or practice, therefore does not require a set number of training hours in order to assimilate coaching skills, or necessitate logging coaching hours.

  1. ICF Certification (3 levels of designation: ACC, PCC and MCC) offered by the International Coaches Federation.

ICF offers 3 level of certification according to the learning and practicing hours and you have to take courses at ICF endorsed coaching schools or institutions:


Prior experience and personal preferences will best determine which certification a coach decides to pursue.
