ADDCA Approved for Level 1 and Level 2 Accreditations from the ICF

ADDCA In The News | Coach Training | Home Page News and Announcements

We are delighted to announce that ADDCA has received Level 1 and Level 2 accreditations from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). 

Last year, ICF required all accredited coach training programs around the world to go through re-accreditation as they upgraded their requirements and changed what they called each accreditation.

ADDCA previously had our entire program accredited, but under ICF's new format, we had to accredit our Basic and Advanced programs separately as Level 1 and Level 2. Receiving both upgraded levels of accreditation is a significant achievement that reflects our commitment to providing high-quality coach training that meets the rigorous standards set by the ICF.

This means that when students pass the Basic (AACC) Certification Assessment, they will no longer have to submit a recording to the ICF. To receive the ICF’s ACC credential,  students are eligible to apply through ICF’s Level 1 path after meeting the additional client coaching hours, paying the ICF application fee, and passing the ICF credentialing exam. 
 
This continues to apply to Advanced (ACCG) applicants and is now considered the Level 2 path (formerly ACTP). This is a nice benefit for our students.
 
We are so proud and grateful for our ADDCA faculty. The quality of their teaching, mentoring, and assessing has made this possible.
 
Our thanks also to Barbara Luther, ADDCA’s Director of Training and the ADDCA staff for their hard work and persistence in achieving these accreditations.
