ICF Credentialing - Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
CCP graduates wishing to become officially credentialed ICF coaches are eligible to complete the final requirements by ICF*. ICF credentialing is considered the global gold standard in coach recognition. You'll take your certificate from Well College which denotes you have successfully completed a Level 1 ICF approved training course to ICF and your 100 hour coaching log and sit your Associate Certified Coach (ACC) exam.
That's perfectly fine, we live in the real world and flexibility is just as important in learning as it is in life. Ideally you will reach 80% attendance. If you miss a class you can catch up by tuning into the recording which is available within minutes of the class concluding.
We believe learning, like life, ebbs and flows and isn't linear. All your learning is done in class, while coaching and in one-on-one sessions with instructors, the focus is on curiosity-led learning, and not testing. We are no ordinary college, and you're not going back to school, you are going forward to you and your career empowering others, and we want you to love every minute of this part of your journey. 'Can I fail?' If you have attended classes and participated then no, plus, we will always work quietly and in a relaxed manner to get you to where you want to be. We're specialists at navigating obstacles.
Sitting for ACC
Coaches seeking to gain Associate Certified Coach (ACC) ICF Credentialing have four opportunities to submit their recorded sessions to our MCC instructor during the program which you'll explore together against the ACC competencies. Upon meeting ACC you will be provide with an additional certificate to submit with your ACC application to ICF (please note ICF's requirement of 100 hours coaching and completion of the knowledge test to gain ACC).
