Are requirements the same for those who have been working in the field for many years?
We have many health care professionals, including therapists, psychologists, social workers, etc., who come into our program. They all follow the same coach-training curriculum unless they have prior basic coach-specific training from another accredited International Coach Federation (ICF) training organization. If this is the case, they may be eligible for the Professional Advanced Certification Training Program.
In terms of the ADHD training, we work from a strengths-based model, as opposed to a medical model. Our Simply ADHD course gives you the foundational models and language we use throughout ADDCA. Past students with a great deal of ADHD experience have come to us at the end of the course and told us how much they had learned. Therefore, we want everyone coming into ADDCA to have this prerequisite training as their foundation.
