My certifications and training

The ICF Credential is the only globally recognized professional life coaching certification. With an ICF Credential, coaches demonstrate their knowledge, skill, and commitment to high ethical and professional standards.

ICF Credential-holders have fulfilled rigorous education and experience requirements and demonstrated their commitment to coaching excellence. To earn an ICF Credential, a coach must:

• Complete coach-specific training that meets ICF’s standards.
• Achieve a designated number of coaching experience hours.
• Partner with a Mentor Coach.
• Demonstrate appropriate understanding and mastery of the ICF definition of coaching, Code of Ethics and Core Competencies.

Co-Active Professional Coach Training is widely recognised as the most rigorous professional coach training and certification program in the industry. As the largest and most established professional life and executive coach training organisation in the world, CTI has trained over 65,000 coaches, including employees in more than a third of the Fortune 100 companies.

“CTI offers a gold standard of coach training, and the Co-Active model behind it is remarkably congruent with a vast body of research in positive psychology and coaching. As business, health and personal coaches begin to master and articulate these messages, we believe it will create inroads for more individuals and organisations to see the value and validity of coaching. It’s exciting to see how the entire field can be uplifted by connecting science and theory with the spirit and practice of coaching. In the future, results will continue to show how science can be mapped to CTI’s Co-Active model and their four cornerstones of coaching.”
