Offering ICF Accreditation is a strong message to clients that you offer an international standard of service.  Coaching is a growing industry which is increasingly becoming more regulated. Some clients may insist you have accreditation before contracting with you. 

​

The GCI Process Oriented Executive and Systems Coaching program is accredited with the International Coach Federation (ICF), the leading global organisation working to advance the coaching profession. The ICF provides independent certification enabling industry recognition of your high standard of coaching skill, and is the largest network of professional coaches in the world. 

​

The ICF offers three levels of certification:

• Associate Certified Coach (ACC),
• Professional Certified Coach (PCC)
• Master Certified Coach (MCC).

All graduates of our GCI Process Oriented Executive and Systems Coaching program (comprising Level 1/2/3) complete the ICF requirement of 125 coach specific training hours and 10 Mentor Coaching hours required for ACC and PCC credentials under the ACTP pathway.   In addition, all skills-based assessments are undertaken within your training – which means no sending videos or recordings off to external examiners.

​

Graduates completing our first two modules – Level 1: Coaching with the E¹ME²RGE³ Model  and Level 2:The GCI Transformation Roadmap– will have met the ICF requirement of 60 coach specific training hours required for the ACC credential under the ACSTH path.    

​

Coaches not continuing with Level 3: Coaching Untapped Potential will need to complete 10 hours of Mentor Coaching in addition to Level 1 & 2, as the mentor coaching hours required for the ICF’s ACC and PCC credentials are included in Level 3.  (This is typical of all 60 hr coach training programs, across the industry).

​

GCI offers a 10 hour Mentor Coaching program over three months for those wishing to pursue their ICF credentials through the ACSTH pathway.
