Overview
The Coaching MasteriesĀ®Ā are widely recognized as the definitive standard of masterful coaching. Their beauty is in being elegantly simple while creating a mosaic of applications via their interdependence.
Experienced and novice coaches around the world are turning to the Masteries as their preference for professional development and certification because they apply in all cultures and in all aspects of life and business.
Coach mentors and coach training programs are also turning to The Coaching MasteriesĀ®Ā to expand their offerings and resources for their coach trainees by becoming Authorized Licensees. This creates a variety of opportunities for mentors and teachers to support coaches to move toward becoming IACĀ®Ā Masteries Practitioners and IACĀ®Ā Certified Coaches.
It is important to note that the IACĀ®Ā does not endorse, promote, or give accreditation to any coach training programs or coach mentors. This would go against our founding principle of being independent from any specific coach training program. This is critical to maintaining the validity and authority of the certification process, which is designed to meet the highest international standards.
