NM ICF Credentialing Mentorship
|
Welcome to the next steps in your journey to enrich your professional goals and the community in which you live and work!
The New Mexico (NM) ICF Credentialing Mentor Program was established to support New Mexico International Coach Federation (ICF) members in their process to apply as a candidate for one of three (3) ICF Credential designations:
Associate Certified Coach (ACC®)
Professional Certified Coach (PCC®)
Master Certified Coach (MCC®)
|
|
The Purpose of ICF Credentialing Program is to:
|
- Establish industry regulations and minimum standards for the qualifications and proficiency of professional coaches and coach training agencies.
- Assure the public that all certified coaches and coach-training agencies meet or exceed, and continue to operate in accordance with industry standards.
- Ensure that the professional coaching industry is clearly established as a distinct and self-regulating profession.
The ICF credentialing program is the gold standard in the world of coaching. It provides tangible proof to clients and the general public, that the coaches who hold an ICF credential subscribe to high ethical standards and have met rigorous coaching requirements based on education and professional coaching experience. The ICF credential is based on education, experience and the level of service / dedication to the profession. All ICF certified coaches have demonstrated significant coach specific training, significant coaching experience and subscribe to the highest ethical standards. Coaches credentialed by the ICF have passed an ICF approved exam, which includes substantial observation of actual coaching skills.
