Coaching is an unregulated profession. That means that there are no national or international regulations regarding the standards and/or mandatory training in the field. Many coaches seek credentialing and abide by the standards of Professional Organizations, like the ICF, the International Coaching Federation, or the CCE, the Center for Credentialing and Education, which offers credentialing for people with prior university degrees.
I am holding the Associate Certified Coach (ACC), as well as the Board Certified Coach Credentials.
